Pinnacle Entertainment Group launched a Kickstarter campaign for Deadlands: Dark Ages, a new installment in the Deadlands saga set in 877 AD Britain. The campaign, which went live on September 9, 2025, quickly surpassed its initial goal, raising over 1500% and accumulating over $135,000 in pledges within the first day. This new release, utilizing the Savage Worlds system, introduces players to a war-torn Britain battling supernatural forces, including the Four Horsemen and Morgana’s dark magic, with heroes aided by Merlin’s magic hexguns. The Kickstarter offers a core rulebook, a graphic novel, an accessories box with FastForge Terrain, a Cursed Village Terrain Expansion, and premium metal Conviction Dice. The campaign is set to close on October 3, 2025.

Diamond Comic Distributors has initiated adversary proceedings against 31 consignment vendors, ranging from Ablaze LLC to Zenescope Entertainment, Inc., to seize and sell their consignment inventory held in Diamond’s warehouse. This action follows a bankruptcy court order requiring individual proceedings against each vendor. Major publishers involved include Titan Comics, Paizo Inc., Oni Press, Goodman Games, Fantagraphics Books, Dynamite Entertainment, DSTLRY, Dark Horse Comics, and BOOM! Entertainment. Concurrently, consignment publishers are seeking access to $1.57 million generated from unauthorized sales of their inventory by Sparkle Pop, the company that acquired Diamond Comic Distributors’ assets.

Sparkle Pop has responded to Diamond’s motion regarding its sales of consignment inventory, claiming that these sales occurred due to Diamond’s inaction and that they have ceased selling the inventory prior to Diamond’s motion. Sparkle Pop alleges that Diamond failed to remove consignment inventory listings from the website and co-mingled the inventory in its warehouse. They state that they continued to fill orders out of concern for liability for damages if orders were not fulfilled and inventory value declined, and are currently holding the $1.57 million in funds from these sales, awaiting a court decision on who should be paid. Sparkle Pop also argues that Diamond is obligated to pay over $433,000 in shipping and other costs incurred by Sparkle Pop to fulfill these orders. Both the Ad Hoc Committee of Consignors and The Consignment Group have filed objections to Diamond’s motion against Sparkle Pop, requesting the court to protect the proceeds of the sales until the ownership dispute is resolved.

The Pathfinder Abomination Vaults Adventure Path, originally from Paizo, has been adapted for D&D Beyond in a 5th Edition (5E) version. This “megadungeon” campaign, taking players from levels 1-11, is now available digitally on D&D Beyond. The campaign delves into the mysterious Gauntlight lighthouse and the sprawling Abomination Vaults, where players confront monsters and traps created by a wicked sorcerer. The 5E adaptation includes 13 digital maps, 16 new magic items, and 6 new adventure-specific spells. The release on D&D Beyond, announced at Gen Con 2025, coincides with D&D Beyond’s integrated virtual tabletop Maps becoming free for all users on September 16th, making it easier for Dungeon Masters to run the campaign with minimal prep. Comments on Paizo’s blog indicate interest and positive experiences with running Pathfinder content using D&D 5E and Savage Worlds systems.
