Well I can tell you things are once again about in full swing around BPP. After surviving TPK3 we are getting back to the old grindstone and preparing to pump out all the HACKTASTIC Content you have come to expect. Also we are preparing for our Hacktastic Game season, Full details to come as we update out events calander to cover the whole year. right now I can tell you of the Big ones we are doing. Anime CON (March 27, 28 & 29), DieCON 9 (June 5,6 & 7) and Archon 33 (October 2,3 & 4) Keep an eye on the site for all our game days very soon.
New Official Game Day Character Sheets and rules packets: There will soon be a PDF downloadable Game Day Character sheet and rule packet. EVERY PC played at a Game day or event MUST BE on one of these new expanded sheets. I hear they will be multi sheet (3-5 pages) chucked full of helpful charts and graphs, including a mage-craft item layout and plenty of rooms for Talents, Spells and Gear. The rules packet will tell you everything you need to know to participate in a Black Pigeon Press event. Also I hear a new Adventure Level System will be in effect to separate the new-bees from the Hack Vets. You can always play a lesser point PC in a higher event (if you are feeling frisky), but NO PC will exceed the maximum points. This will ensure fair and balanced play so everyone has a chance to shine as hero and no PC is just “walking” through an adventure. At our multi game events there will be a good mix of games, at our game store events we will try and mix it up so every character gets in on the Hacktastic Action. It is also a good opportunity to start a new game Day PC or two, try out some of those other Templates and Talents you have been itching to give a go.
Here is a preview (as far as I hear)

Rumors: Well it seems that more than a few gamers have asked “what about World content?” all I know is something is brewing because I got my hands on a couple of preproduction maps that really look like somebody at BPP is working on world content. Check these bad boys out!
Other rumors: I hear ICE MAGIC is being talked about and several new Web Articles such as WORLD LORE and even HACKTASTIC DEITIES and a Creature Contest. Keep an eye on the site for all the new stuff.
