Armored Core, Upturned Table -- Tabletop Everything From Everywhere

Paizo, the publisher of Pathfinder, is hosting a giveaway of their Sketch Edition Player Core rulebook to fans who share stories of their characters’ memorable in-game deaths. The Player Core rulebook, an essential guide for Pathfinder players, covers the game’s basic rules, character creation, classes, and ancestries. Initially exclusive to partnered stores, the Sketch Edition features a unique pencil sketch of the regular cover art by Wayne Reynolds. Paizo announced the giveaway on social media, inviting fans to recount the deaths of their characters for a chance to win the $60 book. Although the exact number of winners is unclear, fans have eagerly shared their character death stories, blending humor and tragedy. The contest ties in with Paizo’s efforts to promote Pathfinder, positioning it as a strong alternative to DnD, especially with its crunchier gameplay mechanics.

Games Workshop has officially banned the use of AI-generated content in their prestigious Golden Demon miniature painting contest. The decision comes after a controversy surrounding a winning entry at the March 2024 Golden Demon event, where the backdrop of a winning Warhammer 40k model was found to be AI-generated. Fans debated the role of AI in art and the ethics surrounding it. To prevent future issues, Games Workshop has updated its rules, prohibiting AI tools in all future Golden Demon contests. This policy will be in effect at upcoming events, including the October 2024 tournament at SPIEL Essen in Germany.

Amazon has announced a new Warhammer 40,000 animated anthology series titled Secret Level, produced by Blur Studio, the team behind Love, Death & Robots. Set to release on Prime Video on December 10, the series will include an episode based on the upcoming Warhammer 40k videogame Space Marine 2. While the new series is not linked to the Warhammer 40k film and TV projects involving Henry Cavill, fans can expect plenty of grimdark action in this anthology that spans multiple video game franchises. The animation represents another expansion of the Warhammer universe, appealing to both Warhammer enthusiasts and video game fans alike.
