Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, plus Golden Gear 2023 Winners & Honorable Mentions!

Merry Christmas from the staff at Dream Pod 9 to everyone around the world. Its already Christmas in New Zealand and Australia, while here in Montreal, Canada we still have most the 24th left to get last minute gifts for family and friends. We had artist, John Bell, do a new chibi artwork wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Enjoy Earth’s Santa Frame on a HHT-90 Overlord Class Hover Sleigh loaded with presents and towed by a hovertank and a hover command car with red nose to light the way. Air dropping presents on a snow covered Terra Nova badlands homestead.
