NEWS ROUND UP: 14 June 2026 - 21st June 2026 - Various

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

To make sure we carry as much as we can, at the end of each week we have a weekly round up for people to find out about other items that haven't made a main article on the site, here is this weeks...






What Ho, my good chaps, 
Coming from Konflikt 47 new plastic Automated Platoons for the British Commonwealth.  

First up is the Mk IIC Automated Director. This is a new leader for your British Commonwealth Platoons, and really what makes the new Automated Platoon work as a whole. It functions as a Platoon Commander and can issue Snap to Action! orders, though it doesn’t give a Morale bonus to friendly troops – not a problem for Automated Infantry who all have the Fearless rule. Like the Mk IIs, it removes the First off the Line rule from nearby units that have it, so long as both units have an Active Rift Die. They’ve taken the opportunity to streamline this rule, which they’re now calling Data Transmission, and put it on the Mk II unit profiles because it’s clearer, and also allows us to combine with other rules more easily.

To read more about changes for the British Commonwealth please go to the full article here.  In addition to this, if you want some of these new plastic mini's, please go here where your pre-order will be dispatched next week.  We have been lucky enough to get our mits on some ahead of schedule and have to say, that they go together easily and look fab.  We'll be showing our 5 Mk 1 Automated Infantry, and our 2 Mk2 Heavy Infantry, that look fab with their simple paint work.  We will also be featuring our own Konflikt 47 Force over the next few weeks as we get them together and ready for action.




Cubicle Seven continues its June Deals.  With these fab offers of 20% off some of their books here.

In other news, The Sylvania Setting Guide is coming soon to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.  

I will tell you for nothing — stay away from Sylvania. If you are fool enough to go, then you have to be prepared. Take guards, and a guide who knows the province. The roads are worse than anywhere civilised, so be prepared for slow going when the weather gets bad. The coaching inns are havens in that blighted land, but even there, things aren’t always quite right.

You don’t want to find out what the forest and fens hold in the darkness. You see strange ruins in the day and lights at night, but those who look to explore them do not always return. The main routes, water and land, are at least reasonably well travelled and the traders and merchants you meet are usually friendly, if wary. But even then…

Don’t laugh… but you cannot even trust the dead to stay dead — I have seen dead soldiers clamber from the murky waters of the Stir, board a barge, and tear a man to pieces, I swear by Sigmar.

I’ll say it again — stay away from Sylvania.’

—Klaus Klopp, Former Holder of the Vanhaldenschlosse Trade Warrant

More news as we get it.

INDEPENDENT TTRPG SUPPLIMENT: Secrets of Sylvera Academy - Various

Release Date:  April 23

Publisher: Single Step Gaming


SYNOPSIS:

Our "Secrets of the Sylvera Academy" series will contain new and inventive spells for casters of all stripes, plus some world-specific lore and story to whet your interest. The spells listed here are designed for our specific "5E Compatible" setting, but in places where any rules changes have been made that would lead to confusion when attempting to use with 5E or other 5E compatible systems, a "Generic 5E variant" is included in [brackets] in the text box. The purpose of this series is designed to be a broad-lensed product, so if your 5E is controlled by Coastal Wizards, if your group has leveled up, if your party raises the black flag, or if you plan to summon a simulacrum later this year, these spells will work at your table and in your campaigns.

 

REVIEW:

A kickstarter project that was funded in under 20 minutes and by a publisher with their heart of their sleeve as a portion of the sales of this book on Itchio and DriveThru will for perpetuity go to Trans Lifeline, a charity run for Trans people by Trans people.


What this book brings to the fore is some alternate spellcasting and not only a whole heap of spells to utilise for extra flavour in your TTRPG game (they're creating their own world later this year so its a sneaky peaky into whats to come) but also the ability to start a duel against other wizards. (Provided criteria are met.)


Each spell within has its own unique flavour (90 of them) and with the accompanying art really helps bring something a little extra to your game. Currently a number of the stretch goals have been reached with the publisher hoping to get to £2000 so that they can then release volume 2 in addition.


Back this up with nicely designed pages, easy to access format that will feel familiar to fans of DnD alongside a plethora of accompanying art and its a project that really has had a lot of love from the creators alongside imagination and will also work with other systems out there.


All round, when you get to see the fabulous art, and see the talent linked to this title, you really have to wonder how its being funded for so little, and I get the feeling that as word spreads about whats contained within, this original release will make its way to quite a few gaming tables. Finally if you do with you add to the crowd fund please visit: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/secondclasselitist/secrets-of-the-sylvera-academy-40-5e-spells


Thank you.
