It's back to work on the upcoming products after attending 3 conventions in May. We just added gallery pages to the website for Anime North 2010 which we attended the last weekend in May and for CanGames 2010 the weekend before that. A Big Thank You to the staff and organizers of the conventions, we had a great time and go to show off Heavy Gear Blitz to new players. 

We had a great time at the Game Summit last weekend (June 12th) in Ottawa, we took some photos and added a Game Summit Gallery Page that you can check out.

Dream Pod 9 is proud to announce that we will be holding the first ever Heavy Gear Blitz! Demo Video Contest! The goal is to produce the best 10 minute video you can showing how the game is played. The main core game mechanics must be present and the information must be succinct and easy to grasp. The idea is to allow someone with no knowledge of Heavy Gear to get a good idea of how the game is played. The deadline is on September 10, 2010 and we'll announce the winner the following week, there will be prizes for the first and second place, all the details can be found on the linked DP9 Forum Post.

A quick reminder about the Heavy Gear Blitz Army Painting Contest we announced last month. You can checkout all the details and prizes on the DP9 Forum Post and then get painting. The contest will run from May 6th to July 7th at midnight and winner will be announce on Saturday, July 10th.

Our first Exclusive eBook Only Release entitled Operation: Drop Bears Dive! (DP9-9175), is finished and being released today on DriveThruRPG.
