Beware the Prods!


Billins - Prod Overseer

Billins – Prod Overseer

Deep in the FerrumSky mines, workers toil endlessly extracting iron ore for their corporate masters, under constant threat of shock batons and rubber bullets. Hired Prods oversee the miners work and ensure that it is kept on schedule. Slacking, complaining, and rebelling are all met with harsh rebuke or brutal repression, depending on the moods and attitudes of the Prods on duty. Life on Hathor, hidden underground in the mines, is about endurance, faith, and order.

Over the last couple months we’ve been hard at work getting Broken Contract closer to inevitable release. The graphic design of the card components and rule book have been refined and are close to where they need to be. Art for the initial core of characters to be released is almost done, and most of them have been rendered in 3D. This week the first batch of print prototypes were shipped out for molding and casting. Broken Contract is getting poised for release upon the world.
