Post Kickstarter Update & Pledge Modification Period Closing (Tomorrow!)

Project Update 

Hello everyone, This is a brief update on what we’ve focused on for the last month or so.

• Artwork: We continue to bid out and receive artwork. We are filling in a couple gaps on the species. For example, the Zen got a slightly updated look and are now living up to their creepy physical description. We have also received a number of vehicles, weapons, and ultra armor illustrations. 
• Weapons tweaks: Weapons have been a source of inconsistency for several editions where damage (energy) and quantity of shots are concerned. We now have a set of unifying rules for weapon’s creation that creates more consistency between damage, energy and quantity of shots. This also allows us to standardize energy cells (aka batteries), so now you can swap batteries into energy-based weapon. This means that your characters will be able to loot a body for an energy cell and not worry about whether you can use it in your weapon or how many shot it will provide in your weapon. Finally the rules behind the weapons have been scaled up for ultra armor weapons and vehicle weapons. That’s right! There are lots of new toys for the core book to arm that tank, ultra armor, or gunship. 
• Ultra Armor (Humpties): revisions Aside from the previously mentioned weapons above, we’ve looked under the covers of Humpties and given them a consistent grounding in basic capabilities and attributes. Players can now choose and modify a base frame with the options and weapons of their choice. The only limit to your creativity is now your wallet. You better save all of your pennies up, because Humpties don’t come cheap. Those options also work for vehicles, so that gunship you’ve always wanted can use the same mortician pulse cannon as your Humpty. Combat-wise Humpties, will play like a scaled up character in armor and they’ll do a scaled up amount of damage. Oh yeah! 
• Spacecraft: We’re also working on spacecraft so intrepid Battlelords have something they can roam the galaxy in. Thanks to two special backers, we’ve got a couple of additions to the Battlelords Universe. The Bane class Eridani personal warcruiser and the Freischärler infiltrator, a converted missile boat. The Bane will feature all of the room needed to field a team of 6 large humpties and a small gunship for support. The ship will be well armed for a corvette class, capable of transporting a well-equipped Battlelord and their team to a new base of operations. The infiltrator is designed for covert missions to drop off a team of aspiring Battlelords deep behind enemy lines. In a pinch, it can provide supporting fire but it most of the ship’s systems are dedicated to keeping it undetected. Finally, the first set of ship’s deckplans have been sent out for illustration. 
• Matrices: We’ve also been overhauling matrixes to unify Power Point costs across the board based on range, area effect, and duration. This will allow players to utilize the same rule for boosting any matrix, and eliminate the need the separate boost rules for each matrix. We’ve also added some new matrices to fill in some gaps. 
• Survey: Last but not least… If you’ve not answered your survey, we will be closing out the pledge change window tomorrow, so we can mail out the PDFs for those with a backer pledge that includes PDFs from the previous edition and/or the bundle PDF pack.
