Hello everyone. The weather is getting nice, summer is knocking on the door and I hope you all have had a chance to attend a convention already this year. I just got back from Concoction 2026 in Vineland, NJ and it was a blast. The people who bring you PAGE, Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo has a sister con in Concoction. They run an outstanding convention and brought that expertise and care to this event. Cannibaal Publishing had a booth and I ran 5 games while there.

Everyone had a blast and provided excellent feedback for Leviathan League Racing boardgame. I ran three events of Leviathan League Racing, where you pick an underwater mount and race on a track like Le Mans / Circus Maximus. Each lap is 60 spaces and you race through 7 different biomes: Abyssal Plain, Coral Reef, Hydrothermal Vents, Sea Caves, Ship’s Graveyard, and a Coral Forest. Each biome have different hazards to navigate and there are three different depths to run in, ocean floor, middle, and top. There is a Shadowdark element in the Abyssal Plain and Sea Caves where you want light (bioluminescent) to avoid those dangers in the dark.

The vendor hall was awesome with an incredible variety of merchandise offered:

A vibrant artist booth showcasing merchandise such as artwork, tumblers, and coloring books, with colorful banners displaying the artist's name. Attendees browse the products while various artistic items are displayed on nearby tables.

At our booth we had a good flow of people throughout the convention. People where asking questions about the World of Greyhawk Gazetteer and Forgotten Tomb books. We received questions on our upcoming titles of Something Wicked a Ravenloft module which should be 36pgs and will come out on DMsGuild at the end of the month!

This will be at least a 3 part series and the other two will be released throughout the year. We cannot wait to hear from you all on this product. Kurt Venetis takes us into the Dread Realms of Lamordia in this harrowing adventure.

Another upcoming product from us is Tomb of the Umbral King for use with the Shadowdark RPG System:

Do you think you are ready to tackle the horrors within the tomb? We are planning to kickstart this project later this year.

Curse on a Coastal Town, designed for use with the Shadowdark RPG system as well, is a compilation of adventures centered around a coastal town. You will be able to play them in any order except the Blue Isle which is the final scenario. The maps should be finished by the beginning of July, design and layout and then release for the summer on Drivethru RPG.

Cannibaal Publishing had some activity / coloring books and crayons for the kids attending Concoction. Joey Docil drew up many coloring pages, mazes, puzzles, and word games in a 14pg book. It was a nice surprise for families and we look to expand this book and work with Chet Minton to have something new for PAGE 4 in January.

The next convention we plan to attend at this point will be PAGE 4 in January 2027. We will have an area again with 6 tables to run games and demo games there. I will keep you all up to date on the happenings here. Get out and go have some fun!

Very Respectfully,

Troy
