The Game of Gains

Roadmap

Where Muscle Wizard Goes Next

The TableTopics team is hard at work bringing the world of MUSCLE WIZARD into your hands, with releases meant to be usable at the table, readable online, and worth keeping in both physical and digital form. The plan is simple: more lore, more tools, more swolecery.

Status Key

In Development

Already being built or actively expanded for the public-facing site.

Planned Projects

Mapped next steps in the release line that follow after current development work.

  1. Priority 01Platform
    In Development

    Site Integrated Play Environment

    Play Table

    The top priority is a single screen built for real table use: something you can keep open all session, whether the group is in the same room or spread across a video call. It should make rolls, injuries, explosions, items, and moment-to-moment choices feel immediate instead of buried under a pile of loose sheets and arcane gym towels.

    • Web App
    • Remote Play
    • Animated Sheet
    • Physics Dice
    • GM Tools
    • An integrated player character sheet with motion and readable state feedback.
    • Physics-based dice that feel tactile instead of ornamental.
    • Built-in calculators and roll tables that keep play moving.
    • Overlay animations that make actions, damage, and outcomes feel immediate.
    • One cohesive surface instead of a pile of disconnected tools.
  2. Priority 02Module
    In Development

    Flexhaven Adventures Module

    Flexhaven is the active campaign line: a mega-city sandbox with established NPCs, districts worth revisiting, pressure between groups that do not get along, outlying locations beyond the city core, and enough encounters to make the place feel usable instead of merely described.

    • Module
    • Sandbox City
    • Mini-Campaign
    • NPCs
    • Locations
    • Encounters
    • District-by-district play that supports repeat jobs and return visits.
    • Named NPCs and power groups that can carry grudges, bargains, and fallout.
    • Satellite locations and connective tissue beyond the city proper.
    • A shorter campaign thread meant to get a table moving quickly.
  3. Priority 03Reference
    In Development

    Website Lexicon

    The lexicon is the public world reference: a place to keep districts, factions, creatures, relics, curses, and other setting terms searchable instead of scattering them across unrelated pages and downloads. Lore should not skip index day.

    • Web Reference
    • World Guide
    • Factions
    • Relics
    • Curses
    • Creatures
  4. Priority 04Book
    Planned Project

    Player Book

    The player book is meant to turn the current spread of player guide material, cheat-sheet style reference, character sheet support, and ability examples into one clearer player-facing release that works both as a readable PDF and as something worth printing.

    • PDF
    • Physical Copy
    • Player Rules
    • Ability Examples
    • Character Creation
    Open Player Guide
  5. Priority 05App
    Planned Project

    Muscle Wizard App

    A dedicated iOS and Android app is planned as a mobile-first companion to the Play Table idea: a portable integrated play environment with a built-in character builder, a saved character repository, and direct access to world data through the lexicon API.

    • iOS
    • Android
    • Character Builder
    • Character Repository
    • Lexicon API
    • A touch-friendly character builder built for phones and tablets instead of a shrunk-down desktop page.
    • A saved roster for returning characters, backup builds, and reusable NPCs.
    • Fast in-app lookups for lexicon material so places, factions, relics, curses, and creatures can travel with the table.
  6. Priority 06Convention
    Planned Project

    Indianapolis | July 30 - August 2

    Gen Con 2026

    The plan is to bring Muscle Wizard to Gen Con in Indianapolis from July 30 to August 2, 2026 with a version that is easy to teach fast, easy to demo in person, and strong enough to leave a real impression after one table. The goal is not just to be present, but to arrive looking fully spell-pressed.

    • Convention
    • In-Person Demo
    • Playtest
    • Physical Copy
    • PDF
    • Short, approachable learn-to-play sessions for people finding the game cold.
    • A show-ready handout or quick reference that gives new players something useful to leave with.
    • Face-to-face feedback from fresh tables instead of only existing fans.
  7. Priority 07Book
    Planned Project

    GM Book

    The GM book builds on the live GM guide and the existing GM sheet and lexicon support into a fuller referee-facing book: faster procedures, encounter material, item and curse support, prep tools, and a structure that is useful during play instead of only before it. Think less binder, more battle-ready grimoire.

    • PDF
    • Physical Copy
    • GM Rules
    • Encounter Tables
    • Prep Tools
    Open GM Guide
  8. Priority 08Module
    Planned Project

    Time Jail Module

    Time Jail is the next big module push after Flexhaven: a prison built on locked timelines, repeating pressure, broken schedules, and the magical strain of forcing a place to keep resetting when it should have already collapsed.

    • Module
    • Time Distortion
    • Prison
    • Campaign
    • Arcane Fallout
  9. Priority 09Module
    Planned Project

    Great Maze Module

    Great Maze is the longer-range exploration module: layered routes, navigation pressure, living hazards, and a map that becomes more hostile and more revealing the longer a party stays inside it.

    • Module
    • Exploration
    • Navigation
    • Hazards
    • Discovery Play
