I'm pretty sure many of you who read this Blog on a regular basis are already more than aware of the current ongoing sales at Dream Pod 9. If not here are the details:
Dream Pod 9 Warehouse Sale!
To make room in there
warehouse (no really they actually are having a warehouse related sale) for the upcoming new Heavy Gear Blitz stuff, which by the way is looking all sorts of awesome, I'd show you pictures, but John Nguyen is holding a herd of kittens ransom and if I leak anything a kitten dies... the basta... Any way, as I was saying, to make room for all the new awesome that will be happening they are holding a
warehouse clearance sale. what this means is that they are offering 50% off on a wide range of books
from their older game lines. So if you play their RPGs and are missing some of the books, now seems like a good time to grab them if you catch my drift. I also guess if you've wandered about playing in their RPG settings etc. nows a pretty good time to pick that stuff up and see what it is like. The sale includes books from
the following game lines:
- Heavy Gear RPG and Tactical
- Jovian Chronicles RPG and Lightning Strike
- Gear Kreig RPG and Tactical Rules
- Tribe 8 RPG
- CORE Command
- D20 Mecha Compendium
I am reliably informed supplies of these items is very limited and these books will not be reprinted again. So if you want them, or were thinking you might like to try some of these RPG settings out, then thisis likely to be your last chance to get them.
OK first things first, as far as I am aware this sale ISN'T to clear space for all the fracking awesome looking Southern Gears that you'll all be seeing shortly... no sorry I can't! I've got to think of the kittens!!! Nope apparently they've just decided to hold a sale of the Heavy Gear Arena stuff to coincide with their second annual Golden Gear competition, which I spoke about here. So this means that there is currently 25% off of all Heavy Gear Arena products on their online store... w00t!!! But the sale won't last all that long Gear fans, it closes at midnight on the 2nd November 2012, most probably SMT, or Standard Mountie Time as Dream Pod 9 are Canadian. So you should get your skates on. I do though hear tell that there will be a Halloween themed sale soon too, so keep an eye out for that, oh and you'll be able to pre-order the Southern Super Bund... oh God the kittens!!!
OK so maybe I'm weak. |
As to my own Heavy Gear Blitz activity, I'm going to be reviewing some more of my NuCoal stuff shortly, and probably a load of PRDF stuff... yes, OK so I finally caved in to my cravings. I know I'm a very, very weak man. But, in my defense they are giant big robots. OK, that's not much of a defence actually now I think about it. Crap! Right, moving on I'll also be reviewing the Southern Starter Army boxed set finally, to get you all ready for the impending launch of the Southern Field Guide shortly, and all those lovely, lovely looking new Gears. Given how much I loved the NuCoal Field Guide I've got high hopes for the Southern Field Guide, which is entitled Forged in Fire I believe. This bad boy has a lot to live up to after Perfect Storm, but is apparently a fair bit bigger, so fingers crossed size does matter. Hell maybe I'll even get some of the new mini's in to play with and show you. Excited? I am. Peace out!
I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts on the PRDF. It was either them or the Southerners and the South won in the end. I'm curious as to what I passed up :)
ReplyDeleteWell apart from the second most awesome force in the game you mean? After NuCoal of course. To be honest Aeria after some of the bits and bobs I've seen recently I think you'll be quite pleased with the Southern Field Guide and new mini's. It's all looking sweet. Next up after that it's PRDF... w00t!!!
DeleteDon't get me wrong, I love my Southerners! But if I had the money I'd own all factions ;)
DeleteI hope the new book gets out quick! I'm leaving my force alone untill I can get a look of the new rules and the new shinies :)
Well at my current rate I might chuffing end up with a Southern Force as well. They're just so pretty. However, what is more likely is that I'll get the Field Guide and stick with my sexy NuCoal and Dirty PRDF.
DeleteDon't give in to temptation Frontline, the future will only bring along more games and shinies you'll want to own! New PRDF to name one :p
DeleteThanks, that HG arena sale was all i needed to start another game! :P
ReplyDeleteSince i played HG rpg many years ago, i always wanted some HG minis.
Well I'm always glad to be of service. Eventually us gamers will kickstart this economy yet!!!
DeleteHa, ha - you got PRDF and I got North... xD There must be something in the atmosphere right now that makes us gamers weak... :P BTW, I would prefer a free shipping sale, because the cost is a killer compared to buying in the UK... Pyre Studio still rocks! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe shipping wasn't too bad for me actually. Plus considering I'd got over $270's worth of stuff it wasn't too bad as a proportion. Haven't used Pyre Studios yet. I'm trying to get a list of retailers for HGB stuff in Europe. Hopefully that will help people out.
DeleteHang on a minute!? Weren't you cutting back?
ReplyDeleteHow much of those other Heavy Gears are painted! (runs back into his glass house)
Ha!!! All of my NuCoal stuff is virtually done now. Just got a few bits and bobs to finish off on some units. I'm also having to write a few articles on what I did to achieve my awesome look. Hopefully they'll be ready by mid November for you, but I've got so many articles stacked to go live for you lot that I've not had time to finish them off... so there!!!
DeleteGood god! Awesome can't wait to see it.
DeleteNow about that infinity pile and the Freebooters fate pile?
(seriously when I am going to get some shutters for this house)
The Freebooter;s Fate pile has started to be attacked, as have my Infinity pile. My pirate crew should be done before too long and so too should my assassins. As for Infinity... shush you!!! I'm working on colour schemes still. Yes that's my excuse and I'm bloody sticking with it.
