Latest Updates from Our Project:

Valanga Suprema by Sean Richer now available!
about 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 20, 2024 at 07:01:47 AM

Happy Tuesday, folks!

We are happy to release our first stretch goal written by the great Sean Richer, Valanga Suprema!

The ground trembles, the birds take flight, a groan like an avalanche carries on the wind! Valanga Suprema is a hex crawling adventure for use in Meatheads. The hex flower map includes a number of locations surrounding the titans as well as new encounters and foes!

Five remnant titans are interlocked with one another in an endless grapple, none budging through the years of  the volatile huddle. The surrounding land is a stomping ground for the titans, their very presence a threat to the smallfolk and beasts all around. 

Valanga Suprema is compatible with the Skin & Bones edition of Meatheads as well as the upcoming final release. Backers receiving this update are able to download this adventure by using the code: GAINTOGETHER.

The final version of Meatheads keeps rolling. We are in the midst of our second draft edit paying closer attention to dungeon details and spatial information. All the fun fiddly bits of play testing and hammering out kinks! 

Our second stretch goal by Roz Leahy is currently in production, a muscle-bound gothic adventure of strength and sorrow. Heavy stuff! 

Thanks from all of us at the Meatheads team!

End of July Update
about 2 years ago – Mon, Jul 29, 2024 at 05:01:41 AM

Hello All,

Apologies for the late update. I (Mark) recently had with a death in the family which took me out of the country and away from work. For the past few weeks I have been working to catch up on hours lost from the ordeal. 

In terms of the project progression, a second round of edits is currently being finished before moving on to layout. We are excited to be bringing onto our team the mighty Hodag, one of the powerhouse artists in the old school sphere! 

Dropping later this week is a Meathead adventure written as one of our stretch goals with Sean Richer, Valanga Suprema!

Five titans are locked in huddle push each other across a trampled land. This hex crawl features that classic Sean Richer weirdness injected directed into your veins and will be available to all backers by download code through itch.io. Expect it soon folks!

We are doing a little catch up work here but are confident we'll hit our finish line. As a reminder, we expect physical copies of the books to be shipping later this year.

Thank you all for your support and understanding. Reach out with any questions.

Mid May Update
over 2 years ago – Mon, May 20, 2024 at 04:12:48 PM

Hey hunks! 

We've been deep in the edit mines with some smattering of playtesting! Meatheads had the pleasure to be played at C2E2 this past April in a room full of other heavy-hitter ttrpgs as a part of Rough Magic. Part of that session was testing our hand drawn character sheet's made by our very own, Eric!

WIP. Subject to change!

You can even peep a preview list of languages on there 👀. Overall we are still set on for fulfillment in November and are on track! We are paying close attention to the writing at the time being and how it pairs with layout, then onto artwork with some choice artists lined up.

Thank you all for your continued ongoing support and interest in Meatheads, we are sculpting one heck of a book!

All the best,
-The Meatheads Team
