Charlie Foxtrot Production
Charlie Foxtrot is the 2nd book we kickstarted for the 7th edition of Battlelords of the 23rd Century. It's a collection of one-shot scenarios with pre-gen characters and several short fiction stories. If you missed the kickstarter you can still pre-order and find out more about the book here:
We are working on polishing Charlie Foxtrot from the initial alpha release to the beta. This includes implementing any changes or fixes our editors and fans have submitted. If you’ve found an error please let us know ASAP so we can correct it before sending the book to the printer. We are hoping to have the book printer-ready by the end of October. You can submit any errors/typos you find via email ([email protected]) or on our dedicated discord channel. https://discord.gg/NPpjseK If this link is no longer valid, please email us for an updated link.
Savage Battlelords
In other news, we are working on developing the Battlelords setting for the Savage Worlds ruleset. We have received approval from Pinnacle Entertainment to move forward, and will be starting playtesting soon. Playtesters will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement and join our discord.
NOTE: We will NOT be stopping production of 7th edition or 7th edition compatible sourcebooks. This will allow players to choose from a more tactical ruleset (7th edition/X150) or a more narrative ruleset (Savage Worlds).

Gen Con 2020 Online
We still have spots open for our classic Battlelords events at Gen Con 2020 Online. If you're interested check out the event catalog at https://www.gencon.com/event_finder?search=battlelords. Our events run every day at 8am, 1pm, and 5pm - Thursday through Sunday. The exceptions to this is that there is no 8am Thursday event and the evening event on Sunday starts at 4pm, not 5pm. These are both due to GEN CON requirements.
We're also running Session 0 Workshop at GEN CON on Saturday at 1pm . In the Session 0 workshop, "The authors of the Battlelords of the 23rd Century RPG will walk you through making a character, and then run you through the basics of combat. Each gamer gets a PDF copy of the Battlelords book." If this Session 0 Workshop sells out, we will probably add another.
If you're in Europe our 8am Gen Con games are 1pm BST, 2pm CEST & our 1pm games are 6pm BST, 7pm CEST.
The events will be run via Zoom with some GMs using Roll20 for mapping.

Charlie Foxtrot Kickstarter
If you enjoyed Battlelords please check out the Kickstarter for our next Battlelords project, Charlie Foxtrot.
The book, Charlie Foxtrot, will contain five one-shot adventures for Battlelords, including pre-generated characters. In addition, there are several short fiction stories to help flesh out the Battlelords' universe. It will also include a small planetary atlas detailing the worlds and locations where these adventures and stories take place. As a whole, Charlie Foxtrot fleshes out this little corner of the Battlelord's universe, creating a sandbox for you to play in... before you blow it up with your shenanigans.
All Battlelords books have been shipped. We are seeing delays with USPS going through New Jersey and with FedEx in general, likely due to quarantine-related issues. If you have not received your books please contact us at [email protected]
