We have now released Segira: 1985 on DriveThruRPG! It's been a long march to release, but it's finished and you can get it now for free or make a donation if you want.

Segira: 1985 is the first full Hammercalled product; it features rules for character creation, a sample adventure, and a mostly complete implementation of the Hammercalled ruleset as it currently stands (it lacks vehicle and gear creation, which didn't fit well in the alternate-history universe) to provide fast but deep mechanics for storytelling.

We've been writing daily updates on Steem for a while now, but I've let the website updates slide because we haven't really been keeping to our planned product release schedule. However, a lot of things have changed and it looks like we might actually be able to keep on our release schedule going forward, but I'd like to go over some of the events that have transpired since I last updated the site.

We released the Hammercalled Quick-Start on DriveThruRPG, giving the world its first taste of a Hammercalled experience beyond the rules reference, which isn't really designed to be used to play the game so much as build variants of it.

We also released Waystation Deimos, a Resistance toolbox based transhuman survival horror game, on DriveThruRPG.

The plan right now is to release Segira: 1985 on December 24, and it will be the first full-fledged Hammercalled game that supports an almost complete Hammercalled ruleset (gear and vehicle creation rules will be omitted), and we'll move on from there to Hwaet, a velotha's flock deluxe edition, and a Hammercalled-based experience set in our Othenar fantasy universe.

See you Monday!

Today marks the official release of velotha's flock Early Bird Edition, which is a little bit awkward because it's not actually online yet (such is life, after all).
velotha's flock is a bit of a passion project, something that we did in our spare time in-between work on Segira and Hammercalled. Segira's still not finished, in case anyone's afraid they missed anything.
For those who haven't been following our Twitter, it's a free verse game of were-ravens. I think people might get a kick out of it, though it's pretty experimental.
The plan for right now is to continue on with playtesting and polish through May, when we'll release the rough version of the Hammercalled Roleplaying Game officially. At that point, our emphasis will be entirely focused on Hammercalled-related work, so we'll sort of tie a bow around velotha's flock.

We finally have a new, professional looking site because our Head Honcho decided to stop being lazy and set one up.

Over the course of the next week, we're hoping to have a playtesters' draft of Segira: 1985 and the first Legacy of Eight novella published, so stay tuned for more information.

For those of us just joining the party, Segira: 1985 is our take on classic roleplaying games that features an alternative Cold War setting where battlesuits and powered armor join combined arms on the frontlines of a brutal civil war in Eastern Europe that threatens to shift the balance of power.
