If you’re hankering for a quest – issue 40 of Tabletop Gaming is for you. Like a slightly over excited tutorial NPC, we’re offering you so many ways to slake your wanderlust. ?

In the first instance that’s the cover story. We talk to Isaac Childres about Frosthaven and ask whether it was the equivalent of the “tricky second album”. Isaac takes us on a tour of the frosty far reaches of the game, and asks us to work together to build hope in this desolate place. He also hinted at a few of the classes that might currently be under wraps (but not in a spoilery way). To find out what we found you, you’ll need to pick up the mag.

Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom is a neon-punk world from the mind of Sean Aaberg. Aside from the obviously incredibly vivid art, the game offers us a chance to talk about whether games should be read at their mechanics alone, or whether they should be read as fiction. Oh, and if you’re a subscriber, your special subs cover offers a lurid look into that world.

But that’s not all – with a Minecraft game hitting our shelves we talk about making a procedurally generated world work on our tabletops with Ulrich Blum, the game's designer.
