BOOKS BEING SHIPPED TO FULFILLMENT HOUSE
We just got word from the printer that the books headed to the US will ship tomorrow. It will take them about a month to reach our fulfillment house. The author’s copies, which are traditionally shipped before the bulk of the print run, are expected to arrive the first week of February. We'll give you guys a peek when they arrive!
All of our ratings at DriveThruRPG have gone missing. If you purchased a copy of the CORE RULES PDF please click HERE and rate the book on their site. We'd greatly appreciate it. If you previously left a review for the CORE RULES please email us at [email protected] and let us know, so we can provide DTRPG with more info about the problem.

We’ll also be running twenty-one (21) events at Gen Con. In addition, the Indie Game Developer Network may also be running events for us in their game room. Be sure to sign up for some Battlelords games! No experience necessary.
We will continue our tradition of giving out swag to everyone who plays our games. It will be 2020 commemorative Battlelords Dog Tags this year. Moreover, we are looking at awarding actual medals to players whose characters show great heroism or are wounded/die in combat. Be the first to get a Talisman of the Zen medal!
23RD CENTURY PRESENCE AT GEN CON
We will have a small section of the Studio 2 Publications booth devoted exclusively to Battlelords and the authors of the new book will be manning the booth and answering questions. Stop by and get your copy signed.
It’s starting to rain on planet Badogi. If you’ve read the “Thunderbirds and Energy Weapons” scenario in the core rules, you know what comes next.
