Welcome to you heard it here last, where we talk about news you’ve already heard.

Don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with your podcast and you don’t have to change the dial. This isn’t Morning Drive on FM 103 The Wave, it’s just Malcolm from the Finding Atoria Podcast stepping in this morning.

Say Hello Malcom,

[Kick to Malcolm]

You know ever since we started chatting, I felt like we had our own Berry White and Isaac Hayes thing going on, so hopefully the listeners can sit back, relax and enjoy.

So here is the deal, we are going to break down some recent RPG news and give our opinions, ideas, and feelings on the topic.

Our first story comes to us from EN World and its there Most Anticipated RPG of 2026 Fan Vote.

By now the voting is likely done, but I thought it would be interesting to throw out our votes and get the debate rolling.

Malcom, what are your three most anticipated RPG’s for 2026?

[Here are my Three, in no particular order; Toon, 2nd Edition from Steve Jackson Games. Procedural from Occupied Hex Games and the mind of Rob Kerkovich. Sisterhood: Nuns with Guns from Parable Games.]

Next up is the announcement that James Ohlen is leaving Archetype Entertainment a Wizards of the Coast video game company and he is being replaced by Blizzard Veteran Paul Della Bitta. This comes as Archetype Entertainment is moving into the final phase of bringing Exodus to release in 2027. But Ohlen isn’t leaving Wizards. He is sticking around as a consultant to focus on Table Top Roleplaying Games. This whole thing smells like the fishing docks at low tide to me. What are your thoughts Malcolm?
