In case you aren’t an Immortal-level Patron of Runehammer, you might have missed that our leader, Hank, just knocked out an awesome system-neutral campaign setting and Battle World called BEARCATS. It’s a cross between Red Dawn and an alien invasion. The setting has been delivered free to patrons and will be available soon on DriveThru RPG for everyone. Below are a few screenshots.
In addition, the Council just played the first several sessions of BEARCATS using ICRPG mechanics. To give a sense of the insanity, I am including the list of gun mechanics Hank himself has been using with us. To say the least, the setting and adventure has been amazing. If you are interested, there has never been a better time to be a patron, or you can simply wait to purchase the entire setting and VTT Kit on DriveThru. Goooooo BEARCATS!!!
