Heavy Gear RPG 4th Edition – Open Beta Playtest is Live!
In 1995, Dream Pod 9 first published Heavy Gear and the Silhouette system. Having matured through the second edition in 1998 and the third edition in 2003, the time has finally come for us to unveil the Open Beta Playtest for the upcoming 4th Edition.
We have been working on this for over a year and are excited to finally show it off to the public. A Big Thank You to our closed alpha and beta testers for all their time and effort working with us on this project and of course to our fans who have supported us over the years. Our DP9 Forum thread has been updated with the 4th Ed. RPG Open Beta documents so everyone can take a crack at the new edition. We look forward to seeing you on Terra Nova again.

For the Open Beta Playtest we are looking for general feedback on the game itself of course. Typos and grammar corrections are always appreciated as are reformatting and moving around sections for clarity. We would LOVE to see summaries of your playtest sessions and please summarize at the end any major content sections you used and note them as Green (Worked well), Yellow (Some potential issues), Orange (Noticeable Issues) or Red (Major issues in need of immediate addressing). Here is a link to our Open Beta Playtest feedback forum on the DP9 Forum.
