Mystic Punks RPG transports players to a gritty world on the brink of apocalypse, where magical punks battle vengeful ghosts, eldritch gods, and other supernatural threats. With a blend of B-movie horrors and rebellious teen culture, the game offers players the chance to wield magical abilities and relic weapons against encroaching darkness. The newly released core rulebook, crowdfunded on Kickstarter, expands upon the original solo RPG with campaign builders, additional monsters, and guidance for creating intrigue and mystery within the setting.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar announces a new edition slated for summer 2024, introducing the arrival of the Skaven and a revamped ruleset. Alongside a cinematic trailer showcasing the Stormcast Eternals and the Vermindoom event, Games Workshop promises a complete overhaul of the core rules, focusing on streamlining, accessibility, and tactical depth. The update includes changes such as melee weapon ranges being replaced with a combat range of 3", and the introduction of Spearhead, a new gameplay format aimed at faster, faction-supported battles. Additionally, Universal Special Rules and card-based objectives aim to enhance gameplay variety and strategy.

Hasbro's CEO Chris Cocks reveals plans to integrate AI into the company's products, focusing on gaming experiences. Despite past controversies surrounding AI in art, Hasbro aims to use it ethically.

Meanwhile, Cairn, a tabletop RPG, launches a Kickstarter campaign for its second edition, offering a more detailed and expanded game system with new books, adventures, and artwork. The game maintains its old-school charm while providing players with rich storytelling and character creation options.

Cairn, a super-lightweight RPG, is launching its second edition with a Kickstarter campaign. The new edition aims to expand on the original concept by providing more depth and content. It features a boxed set including three books: an expanded Player’s Guide offering 700 possible character combinations, a Warden’s Guide with detailed world information, and an adventure called "Trouble in Twin Lakes." The game prioritizes player knowledge and problem-solving over combat prowess, reminiscent of other old-school RPGs like Knave and Into the Odd. The Kickstarter campaign offers various pledge tiers, including digital and physical options. The project involves a team of editors, artists, and designers to enhance the game's quality and presentation.
