FORTHCOMING GAME FOUND CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Duskhollow - Archon Studio

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Archon Studio's have put out a brand new update on their forthcoming Gamefound Campaign Duskhollow that is coming to the fore in the second quarter of 2026.  

In this update we are not only given a brand new video to delve into but we get to meet the folk of the realm and what living there has done to them.  Whilst some remain unchanged, there are those who have mutated and one of those is the Mutant Artificer.  But who is he?  According to Archon Studio's, "a peculiar soul who spends his days surrounded by strange contraptions, broken machinery, and things that probably shouldn’t be making that kind of noise.

Is he a genius inventor? A failed experiment? Someone who simply spent far too much time in the wrong corner of Duskhollow?"

Alongside him we also have the Mysterious Human Wanderer, who could be a fab NPC there to help guide and rescue your party when things are at their bleakest or perhaps someone who disagree's with a decision your party made and is determined to find out more about them to exact a form of punishment.

Obviously there are more cast and characters to meet such as the Elf Priestess who perhaps might know more than they're letting on about this dark realm but the one we're really excited for, is the deliciously dark Vampire Lady whose teeth may be baying for your blood or perhaps being a hidden benefactor in some nefarious scheme for her to take over.  We will have to wait and see.

All round these updates keep us guessing and as you are sure, we can't wait to embark upon the adventures that this will not only spawn within Archon's own creation with the scenery and characters easily being able to carry across to other stories you will love to tell with your players.  Stay tuned for more news, Same Vampire Bat Place, Same Vampire Bat Channel.

All the best,

FORTHCOMING GAMEFOUND CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Duskhollow - Archon Studio

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Archon Studio's have given us a new update on the forthcoming Gamefound Campaign for those who love the dark and mysterious horror worlds of Vampires entitled Duskhollow.  Coming in the second Quarter of 2026, you can sign up now be one of the first to get in there.  

In this update we get to hear about a fair few of the other items coming in the campaign bundle, which includes the fabulous gates for the Monastary core set alongside another of the core pieces the walking hut which every backer will receive once that goal is unlocked which also has an alternate bottom part so you can choose to have it as either a house in a tree or as a walking chicken legged house.  As you'd expect from Archon, the house is also fully playable with an interior that is full of delightful details, unlike its inhabitant Baba Yaga (the witch not John Wick.  lol.)  

Obviously we'll add more details as we get them, but as far as we're concerned curerntly, this set is looking to build itself up into something pretty epic, espceially when you add the carefully crafted roofs that are being shown that will just have you falling in love with this darkened environment to really help bring the horror to the table.  

So keep your eyes ready, your fingers one the pulse and if you enjoy it, start crafting your own delightful adventures to throw at your players when it lands so that you have plenty of opportunity to create something unique as well as hauntingly memorable.  So far we haven't heard anything about the accompanying book in regard to this set, but looking at whats been announced you're really going to have not only a fabulous adventure but creations that will firmly have your players glued to each gaming session.  Epic

TTRPG PRE-ORDER NEWS: Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound: Champions of Chaos: Carngrad Adventures - Cubicle 7 Games

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks (or in the case of AoS Cunning Agtheyma),

We've been getting pretty excited as we've been waiting a while now for the fabulous Warhammer: The Old World TTRPG to land with all the delightful extra's of maps etc, so when we heard that Cubicle 7 was launching another book for DM's and players in the AoS setting, we just had to jump on board and have a look at it.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar Soulbound, Champions of Chaos: Carngrad Adventures, is available to pre-order now (and if you do you get a free PDF), for shipping in Quarter 1 of 2027, from what the blurb has to say, we think its going to be a cracking addition to the game.  Here's what they say on their own page:
"The taste of the red mud will never leave your mouth. The rabble’s screams will never cease to echo in your ears. The Reaver City will leave a mark on you, one way or another.

You can win bloody renown in the fighting pits of Carngrad. Paint your name in the gore of your opponents so the Talons take notice, sure. But you’ll also draw the attention of a dozen murderers who’ll stab you in the back so they can step over your corpse into their own glory. Maybe some will be honourable enough to face you head-on, but don’t count on it. Best to find them and slay them first. Do that, and you might live to see another day in this rotting carcass of a city.”

— Cessacar, the last surviving member of the Brass Flayers warband

Carngrad Adventures sees the aspiring Champions of Chaos dragged into the ruthless politics of the Talons, as the first ever campaign for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions of Chaos. The Reaver City is a nest of scheming and constant, pitiless bloodshed. The streets are littered with the bodies of those who could not bend the cruel rules of Carngrad to their will. Brutal pit fights are the resolution to everyday conflicts — fought without rules other than victory at any cost.

The four adventures that make up Carngrad Adventures can be strung into a dark and bloodsmeared campaign full of action and intrigue, as the warband gets more involved with the backstabbing affairs of the Talons.

This 146 page book contains:

An epic campaign told across four exciting adventures in the Bloodwind Spoil. Seek glory on the corpse-littered streets of Carngrad and hunt down vicious predators in the wastes of the Bloodwind Spoil.

A guide to the infamous reaver city of Carngrad.

A beautifully illustrated map of Carngrad.

New Endeavours to undertake while in the city and exciting encounters to make every visit memorable.

Seven Talons of Carngrad with all their might and glory, their paths paved with blood and bones, and their bloodthirsty warriors, along with new monsters and deadly enemies for your Warband to face."

We hope you're as excited as we are,

ThunderMouser
