On June 29, 2024, Roll20 detected unauthorized access to an administrative account, which was promptly blocked within an hour. An investigation revealed that personal information such as names, email addresses, last known IP addresses, and the last four digits of stored credit cards might have been exposed. However, full payment details and passwords were not compromised. Despite having no evidence of data misuse, Roll20 is notifying users as a precaution and has committed to enhancing their security measures. Users concerned about their data can contact Roll20’s support.

Modiphius Entertainment is moving its UK warehousing and order fulfillment to a new partner, promising cheaper and faster shipping. The transition may cause delays for orders placed after 5 PM BST on July 5. Digital orders and orders from the US store will not be affected. To compensate for delays, a 15% discount is offered on most physical products using the code SHIPPINGDELAY. Pre-orders, especially for Fallout: Factions, will be prioritized to minimize impact.

Acheron Games announced a new project, HELLUVA TOWN, a cartoon gangster RPG with illustrations by Shawn Dickinson. The rulebook features a poker card-based system, pre-generated characters, a neighborhood map, and various additional materials like an artbook, stickers, pins, and a themed T-shirt. The game combines elements from Cuphead, Looney Tunes, and gangster movies, creating a unique and chaotic RPG experience.

Modiphius Entertainment launched a new TTRPG, Five Parsecs From Home: Tactics, with three books available for pre-order. This game allows solo or cooperative sci-fi skirmish adventures with procedurally generated battles, character progression, and a variety of enemies and objectives. The game supports both small skirmishes and larger battles, and it is miniatures-agnostic. A seven-stage narrative solo campaign is included, along with expansions for more tactical options and adventures.
