It's been a while. Working on this game took way more time and effort than I initially expected (and I will share more on that process at some point!) and I know many of you lost faith that this game will actually release anytime soon. But it's here!
I've just sent you an email through DriveThru RPG that will take you straight to the download. The files is marked as version 0.99 as we're still polishing the last minor details before we send it to print. But at the same time I wanted to show you how the complete game looks like. I really, really hope it was worth the wait.
Any feedback you would like to give or any kind of technical issues with downloading the file? Let me know at [email protected]
I'll come back with more details concerning the Pledge Manager, shipping, and everything else next week.
Thank you for your patience. Now, let's go hunt some Powered! Best, Paweł Kicman
Update Seventeen: Look at this map! || Post-testing Work.
Hi everyone,
We wrapped up playtesting a little while ago, and based on all the feedback, we've decided to add even more content to the book - alongside fixing the smaller things that were flagged during testing.
That includes some new mechanics, but also more worldbuilding, including this glorious world map by Tommy Sunzenauer, creator of games like Obscure and MÖRK DÖD.
We're finalizing the additional content now, before sending everything to the editors (yes, plural!) for the final pass. From there, we'll approve the pre-final PDF, send it to every backer, do one more pass on the layouts to make sure everything is crisp, and rush it off to print.
Pre-orders and late pledges will go live as soon as we have that PDF, so anyone who's been waiting to pledge late can jump in right away.
Update Sixteen: Open Playtesting starts soon! Sign up today.
Hi everyone,
While we tie up the PDF that's going to be shared with every backer soon, we are coming into two important milestones - proofreading/editing and playtesting!
You can sign-up for the latter today to receive a specially prepared playtest copy of the game (formatted as a clean, simple word document with just text for maximum accessibility and readability). Should you like to go through playtesting it and share some feedback - we will upgrade your pledge level!

We will share more details with the people who sign-up, but here's a little sneak peak of the adventure you will be able to run:
Map by UnitSix
In the meantime, we are going into the final steps of pre-production, e.g. scheduling the print with the printer company.
Today I wanted to talk about different ways to stand against the Powered. In most cases, they will be much, much stronger than Player Characters in nearly every aspect.
So how do you even stand a chance? Well, there are a few ways:
The key is to always try and find their weaknesses. How? Find secret documents, interrogate or blackmail someone who might know something, or simply test their limits yourself.
Use powerful weapons, including Mechas, Power Suits, and unconventional firearms with bullets capable of piercing even the toughest skin. However, those things are rare and pretty damn expensive!
Enhance yourself with chemicals or... magic! Yes, magic. Or better (or worse) yet, make a deal with Hell to gain temporary power of your own!
There are also a few other options, some of them hidden in the book, which you'll be able to discover very soon, as we're currently finishing production on the beta PDF. Once that's done, we’ll open pre-orders, distribute the digital files to all backers, and put out a call for playtesters to help tie up loose ends before we rush into printing.
Here are some new spreads showcasing some of the things discussed above. Enjoy!
Work has been much slower over the last weeks, but we're progressing with the layouts - mainly with some structural changes on them. Thanks to UnitSix we have some great templates for certain parts of the book, to keep it more consistent, but it took a bit of time to calibrate.
Anyhow, here are some of the initial pages of the book explaining the lore of the world! Enjoy, while we get back to work to deliver the final product as soon as possible!
Need more? Here's the detailed list of things you'll find in the book!
Just a quick update. We are progressing at a steady pace. All the new art we've commissioned is now delivered, so we're putting that into final spreads. There's been some small delays here and there, but we are almost at the finish line. The most important thing is - expect the Pledge Manager to start soon, so we can gather all the information needed for shipping.
Meanwhile, please have a look at the new art from Kir Malov:
