Hey folks! We are in the last day and a half of Hack The Planet, a cyberpunk and climate fiction, Forged in the Dark Game. We have only two stretch goals left to hit: producing a live actual play on Twitch and making every book in the print run a hardcover one. We don’t extend the life of our campaigns with Backerkit and Pledgemanger and we have discounted the PDF and the book significantly for backers as a thank you and reward for the increased risk a customer after the product comes out doesn’t have. This will be the cheapest way to get the game, hands down.
I’ve updated the page with more art and the various interviews about HtP. If you want to learn more about the game, the Kickstarter page should have absolutely everything you need.
The short pitch is that the game is cyberpunk married with climate fiction. Tropes found in cyberpunk’s now retro-futuristic elements recontextualized for a scenario where climate change occurred way faster than we thought. Where a massive Shelter is turned into a megacity of climate refugees and you play a crew of people trying to subvert the system or claw back power to use for their own gains.

Always happy for new cyberpunk! (Still haven’t picked up the Forged in the Dark game, though…)
Wasnt sure you were gonna make the Rangers reward there
The last 48 hours is usually as busy as the first 24ish. I am not sure we will hit hardcovers but the next goal I am fairly confident we will hit.
Just backed it under the wire. That hardback goal would be awesome!
will this book be available after the kickstarter?
Yep, for sure!
