As we saw during Pulsecon 2022, Magic The Gathering and Transformers are crossing over proper in the new Brothers War tabletop game card sets.  The story line of the series features a battle between mechanical armies and those who side with magic, so working Transformers into the game now made sense.   At least more than in prior storylines anyway :).   There are 15 Transformers cards based on Generation 1, with 15 Shattered Glass variants of those cards (both function the same).  They come randomly packed, 1 in 10 booster packs has a Transformers card.   The Magic team over at Wizards / Hasbro sent through a promotional box and we were able to rip into packs to check out the set.  There was also some pretty cool Magic swag too!

To check out the full Brothers War story, product line and events – head on over to The Brothers War Site @ Wizards of the Coast.  It’s got a great presentation and overview of everything coming.  You can also pre-order sets over on Amazon. #ad

Renegade Game Studios is set to expand its partnership with Hasbro.

With this expansion, Renegade hopes to produce new versions of Risk themed around fan-favorite Hasbro brands G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Power Rangers.

The company plans to show off these new products within the coming months.

This isn’t the first time Hasbro outsourced its properties to other companies. Most recently, brands such as Tonka and Micro Machines went to Basic Fun and Jazwares respectively. With Hasbro focusing on fewer brands, it is likely that we’ll hear more outsourced IPs in near future.

You can check out the full press release, after the jump.

After a delay due to unfortunate circumstances, RenegadeCon 2021 is set to begin today (Friday, 27th August 2021) at 3:00 PM Pacific time.

Held virtually by Renegade Game Studios, the event will span for two days with content from Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers franchises.

Message from Renegade Game Studios (external links included):

Behind the scenes of Renegade’s upcoming Power Rangers, G.I. JOE, and Transformers Roleplaying Games lies a brand new system, Essence20. Read on to learn a little about this new system, and tune in to RenegadeCon VIrtual Special Edition this weekend to see it in action in the new games, and learn more about it from the creative team! Senior RPG Producer Elisa Teague also sat down with Forbes magazine to talk about Essence20 and the Power Rangers Roleplaying Game, which you can find here.

First off, as you may suspect from the name, Essence20 is a d20 based system. The core mechanic for resolving a roll is for the player to roll a d20 along with their Skill die (ranging from a d2-d20). The result of the d20 and skill die must exceed the difficulty of the test in order to succeed. Characters with a specialization in the skill being tested get to roll their skill die and all dice below it, and pick the highest result to add to their d20 roll, increasing their odds of success! What’s more, a max value roll on ANY die is a critical success, leading to more chances for crits and more opportunities for great roleplaying incorporating them.

Character creation follows a three-pronged approach, based on their Origin (what type of person are they?), Role (what is their place on the team?), and Influence (what experiences have led them to this point?). Character’s abilities and skills are based on the 4 S’s, Strength, Speed, Smarts, and Social. These options give an amazing depth and breadth to the variety of characters that a player can create!

The character backgrounds, character flaw system, and Story Point system (awarded for mission success, special heroics, and spectacular roleplaying) lend themselves to a cinematic and cooperative roleplaying experience that is a great fit for settings like Power Rangers, G.I. JOE, and Transformers. We are excited to show this system off, so please join us for RenegadeCon Virtual Special Edition this weekend for more information and to see it all put on the table in our premiere of Day of Destiny, a Power Rangers Roleplaying Game Actual Play!

You can check out the schedule, attached with this news post.
