Welcome to the Cannibal Halfling Weekend Update! Start your weekend with a chunk of RPG news from the past week. We have the week’s top sellers, industry news stories, something from the archives, and discussions from elsewhere online.
RPG Top Sellers for 10/31/2026
Top News Stories
Wizards of the Coast retains Fisher Phillips, a union avoidance firm; vote will take place on November 10th: Corpo gonna corpo, I suppose. If the vote succeeds, maybe they’ll rehire the Pinketons too. Meanwhile, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has responded to concerns about job security with “the greatest form of job protection any team can have is to expand the business they’re working on”. So work harder, peasants, and maybe I’ll let you keep working. Unless a shareholder decides they want a bigger profit margin, of course.
From the Archives
It’s Halloween, which means relics of the past will come back to haunt us! Eight years ago we reviewed a fascinating stepbrother in the Fate Core family which took a very different (and interesting) path from Fate Core. From the archives this week is our Strands of Fate Review.
Discussion of the Week
Sitting on my living room floor surrounded by tea-stained prop handouts feeling like an absolute clown.: The GM is often the player most excited about their game, by virtue of being the one willing and wanting to put more work into it. But seriously, seriously, get yourself a group that can rise to your level of excitement.
