Rogue Trader is coming to an end with miracles, madness and ‘tears of blood’

Stella is a character in the upcoming expansion of Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, described as a delicate young woman with formidable psychic abilities. She is revered by the Ecclesiarchy as a creation of the God Emperor but is an unsanctioned psyker, which complicates her character due to the volatile nature of her powers. In battle, she can unleash psychic flares that cause area damage. However, she faces dangers such as veil degradation and warp instability, leading to a cycle of peril and madness. The expansion, titled Processional of the Damned, will introduce a new storyline and companion, integrating into the existing narrative. Stella's attributes include crying tears of blood, possessing unstable powers, being potentially heretical, and being described as a living weapon. Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy is confirmed to be "coming soon," and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is also anticipated.

Dark Sun, D&D’s most heavy metal setting, will be back in 2027

In the 1990s, the Dungeons & Dragons setting known as Dark Sun emerged, depicting a world ravaged by exploitative sorcerer-kings and featuring warriors with psychic abilities. Dark Sun briefly returned during D&D's 4th edition, and there has been growing demand for its revival in the 5th edition. At Gen Con's D&D keynote, Wizards of the Coast announced the return of Dark Sun, along with a new rulebook titled Blood and Power, a setting guide called Edge of Oblivion, and a special edition of the Player's Handbook. All three publications are set for release next year. Due to mature content, these books will be shrink-wrapped and rated 18+ for profanity, bloodshed, nudity, and sexuality.

Arrowhead posts shocking found footage of elusive Helldivers 2 game master Joel

Arrowhead Studios has explored the figure known as J.O.E.L., the game master for Helldivers 2. A video team member captured footage of J.O.E.L. inside a glass-doored closet, where it resembled a hacker typing at a keyboard surrounded by monitors showing live gameplay. J.O.E.L. emitted a cackle while contemplating a button that triggers blue beams for successful players but became agitated upon noticing the filming. Johan Pilestedt, co-founder of Arrowhead, previously discussed the influence of tabletop RPGs on the game's storytelling. J.O.E.L. is evolving into a more powerful entity with metaphysical and psionic abilities. Helldivers 2 is set to receive an update titled "The Escalation of Freedom," introducing new enemies, objectives, increased difficulty, and votekick protection.
