Weekly coverage

What My RPG Source covers

Tabletop RPGs

New games, editions, releases, crowdfunding, licensing changes, tools, conventions, and developments that affect people at the table.

RPG Video Games

Announcements, launches, expansions, major updates, and the design ideas that connect digital RPGs with their tabletop cousins.

Film & Television

Adaptations, fantasy and science-fiction series, actual-play projects, and other screen stories with a meaningful connection to RPG culture.

How-to Guides & Video

Evergreen written guides will remain complete on their own, with YouTube companion videos added when the format makes the lesson easier to follow.

How we publish

News should earn the word “news.”

My RPG Source favours primary announcements and attributable reporting. Articles distinguish confirmed facts from analysis, clearly label rumours when they are worth discussing at all, and add context instead of merely rewriting a press release.

Guides follow a different rhythm: they are evergreen, original explanations designed to help someone understand a game, make a decision, or get to the table with less friction.
