D&D’s new turn based tactics PC game should be a delight – but without VR, I’m not finding the fun

Demeo x Dungeons and Dragons: Battlemarked is a cooperative multiplayer strategy game set in D&D's Forgotten Realms, available on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Meta Quest, primarily designed for virtual reality (VR). The game features turn-based strategy gameplay with players choosing from various D&D classes and species, represented as virtual miniatures. It is not a virtual tabletop or a direct adaptation of D&D 5e rules. The graphics are low in polygon count but rich in character, and the game emphasizes quick play sessions without the discomfort of VR-induced nausea. The control scheme reflects its VR origins, requiring players to pick up and place figures, which feels cumbersome on a flat screen compared to other games. The game is set to release on November 20, and the reviewer notes that their experience has been limited to single-player due to illness in the office.

The League of Legends trading card game is surprisingly good, because it embraces the best trends in card games

Trading Card Games (TCGs) are experiencing a surge in popularity, with titles like Magic: The Gathering achieving success through crossover events. Wizards of the Coast reports financial gains from these initiatives. TCGs face competition from board games, miniatures wargames, roleplaying games, and digital card games. Magic: The Gathering remains dominant, with The Pokémon TCG and Yu-Gi-Oh as its main challengers, though neither poses a significant threat. Riot Games has launched Riftbound: The League of Legends card game, which sold out its first print run and is being resold at inflated prices. Riftbound features a 40-card deck centered around a single Champion and incorporates unique gameplay mechanics. It is designed for both casual and competitive play, with straightforward mechanics and flexible formats. Riot's previous success in tabletop gaming supports their credibility in this venture, and Riftbound may develop a dedicated community even if it doesn't achieve mainstream success.
