Updates

30 years ago, a group of friends from Montreal published a hybrid mecha RPG/wargame. Intended as a tribute to their favorite series like Star Wars, Battletech, Babylon 5, and most of all Armored Trooper VOTOMS, it was intended to lead to a small handful of further products telling a story set on the planet Terra Nova. The idea was that the line would tell a self-contained story and wrap up within 5 years, with the setting being left behind in favor of new games.

Hi all! Noah here, the Adventures Lead for the Heavy Gear 4th Edition! I hope you’re all excited for the coming seasons of pre-made and carefully crafted adventure modules! First let me share my sincerest apologies for the starter adventure delays. Life threw me some truly overwhelming challenges, and I am saddened to have kept you waiting a little longer for these adventure modules. The team has been doing their very best to support the adventures and I’m incredibly excited to reveal some of their features before their impending release!

Vehicle Rarity

The world of Heavy Gear is full of various factions and powers but what can often be forgotten is that many of those are themselves coalitions of smaller entities. The “North” is a full confederation of 3 leagues of city states for example. Each of those leagues has their own military as well as the Northern Guard and smaller independent reserve or militia units. Within that web of members, different companies produce combat vehicles and sell to those members. However not all members have equal access to all vehicles produced by all companies. Each member would have an easier time buying from local companies for example. This disparity has not truly been modeled in either the RPG or Blitz previously until now.

Hey everyone, Prof here!

Today we are rolling out V1 of the RPG’s Extended Content document. We want all of this in one place for players and directors to be able to refer to at once. Periodically we will update this document with batches of new content or even rotate things out as they get published in official content. The Hanger will be an additional document but that is far from ready yet and likely won’t be online until after launch. Additionally the first wave of canon characters is going to the artists now so we will see some of those soon.

Hey all Prof here.I wanted to talk about some future stuff for Heavy Gear and especially how it’ll interact with the upcoming RPG article. If you missed it, Robert Dubois gave an interview with Zerosum716 over all things Heavy Gear. You totally need to check that out (33:48ish). Zerosum716 does great work.

In this interview they talk about new releases and Robert drops that we are doing New Jerusalem next and that they are in active development. I wanted to get out and talk about how this new faction for Heavy Gear Blitz will interact with the RPG.

Hey, all Prof here again.
