Malediction Looks Ahead to 2026 With Organized Play, Lore Expansion, and Competitive Growth After its initial launch and fulfillment in 2025, Malediction enters 2026 positioned less as a promising newcomer and more as an established hybrid tabletop system finding its long-term rhythm. Over the past year, Loot Studios delivered its Gamefound campaign to backers, expanded its presence across major conventions, and gathered player feedback from a wide range of hobby backgrounds. That feedback now shapes a slate of interconnected updates aimed at organized play, narrative depth, and accessibility. In a late December 2025 conversation with PopGeeks, Fabio Cury, Head of Games at Loot Studios, outlined how Malediction has evolved during its first full year in players’ hands and what comes next as the game accelerates into competitive and community-driven spaces. Malediction Found Its Audience Malediction was designed as a strategic miniatures card game supporting 1v1 and 2v2 play. 2025 confirmed that its hybrid structure resonates across multiple tabletop communities. According to Cury, players with card game backgrounds, miniature wargame experience, and even RPG-first habits all found entry points into the system. The single-D20 combat resolution, persistent forward momentum through hits and grazes, and heavy card synergy lowered friction for newcomers without flattening tactical depth.

Thessarak, Destroyer of Worlds, is feeling festive. It took 22 hrs to print the head. Half of the torso will take almost 3 days. This thing is going to be huge!

Painting update:

Going to add light orange and light blue halos to the red and purple before the wash. Considering adding some randomly colored rocks to the outer walls, but I kinda dig the current look, and not every castle wall has to be from different rock.

Don’t judge my talent too harshly. Literally the first time I’ve ever done this.

My first time painting any gaming pieces. This is the base to Loot Studios’ Tower of Madness. Light gray primer, darker grey single coat. I plan to do a light black wash once I finish with the gold and paint the circles silver.

Annnnnd…we are done priming for tonight. Time for pupusas and tamales de hoja de plátano. 😋

#DnD #rpg #3DPrinting #tabletop #LootStudios

Pardon the mess in my work area. Finally priming parts from Loot Studios’ Tower of Madness. Hoping to finish all the parts tonight so they can cure for actual painting.

#DnD #3DPrinting #LootStudios

Pardon me while I learn another skill set.

None of the gaming table parts I need to finish that project came in so I cycled back to one from 3 months ago! I finally broke out the airbrush I bought 2 months ago and started painting the base to the tower of madness.
