Hello there!
I’m back and kicking off 2026 with an update. First, I hope
everyone has had a wonderful holiday. The end of the year is a special time for family and friends, I hope you all had some well needed rest and relaxation.
Now that the holiday season has passed, we are moving into EM Disaster Gaming’s second year and 2026 full steam ahead. With that I have a roadmap below that shows what we have planned for 2026!
2026 EM Disaster Gaming Roadmap
We have several games primed for release this year, first with the official launch of Emergency Operations Center – Complex Coordinated Attack 8. These will arrive in February from the factory. I’ve partnered with The Blue Cell to bring this HazMat-Counter-terrorism game to life. February will be our flagship release of EOC CCA8 launch :)
Checkout live recorded reviews from our recent Midwest Disaster Wargaming Exercise tour here of EOC Complex Coordinated Attack 8 on our YouTube Channel:

To quote, "Better than any of the seminars or tabletops I've attended in the last 20 years".
Next up we have two emergency & disaster management
fantasy roleplaying DnD inspired games releasing this year that we are publishing in partnership with Victoria Kludge and Mark Borland.
The first published game will be a digital download written
and illustrated by Mark Borland called STORMHAVEN: Maw of Zepheros. Stormhaven is a DnD one shot campaign mirrored to emergency management and disaster preparedness cycle but in the realm of Stormhaven. Will the adventurers survive this adventure and prevent a cataclysm like never seen before? Tune in soon to learn more!
Our second DnD inspired game that we are publishing is Crisis Command written by Victoria Kludge. This will release later this spring for preorder and is a physical game release including a booklet, dice, and possibly 3D printed minifigures!
Last, but not least we are continuing to develop the next games in our flagship disaster wargame series and will have two games that will debut later this year, one at the Wisconsin Emergency Management Conference, and one in Texas…
I’ll give you a hint, one has a major incident involving a historic train in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, and the second a massive storm on the gulf coast in Texas… I wonder what that could be??? Hehe
These two new Emergency Operations Center Disaster Wargames will only be playable at the conferences they debut at and by requesting them for a facilitated disaster wargame exercise session until they publicly commercially release sometime in 2027.
Speaking of which we have a ton of events already confirm
through December of 2026 across the U.S.! We are still booking events so if you are looking to schedule a disaster wargame exercise session reach out so we can get you on the calendar for later this year. We have some very big disaster wargame exercises coming up and are developing custom disaster wargames for
clients and agencies from healthcare and nuclear facilities to massive special events.
Lastly, we are working on catching up on shipping out games,
especially EOC Hells Highway and EOC Wildfire Mayhem Hardboards which arrived just before the Christmas Holiday. We have shipped out 35 EOC Wildfire Mayhem Hardboards so far filling our backorders oldest to newest in that order. I’ll be working with the family to get these all shipped this week and next week.
In closing, thank you all for your continued support for EM
Disaster Gaming. We have a ton of stuff in the works and have more to share with you soon. I’m hoping to launch the Disaster Wargaming Academy this month and have more exciting news to share soon. As always, stay tuned!
Best,
