SSDC, Inc. is kind enough to let us produce original content in their Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century® sci-fi RPG universe.
Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century® has been published in 6 editions since 1990. The 7th edition was successfully Kickstarted this year and is available for pre-order at backerkit.
Battlelords 1st Edition (1990) - 1st appearance of the Orion Rogue (thrill-seeking hedonists with very flexible moral and social codes).
Battlelords 3rd Edition (1991) - 1st mention of the Dranits (humanoid hive insect) and their homeworld Trell in the Andromeda galaxy. Dranit concept by Carlos Venegas (2010).

What The Fott?© webcomic (2011) - Originally created as marketing material to build general awareness for the Battlelords setting. Cera and her Smart Gun grew out of the concept for the Battlelords animated series pitch. Cera was a friend of the main character Jaloon. The web comic is Cera’s story and her life on the war torn planet of Trell. Once we realized her weapon was a Smart Gun that should talk back everything started to fall into place. Cera O'Malley created by Julie Robert.
Battlelords Facebook Social Game app beta (2012) - AVPI partnered with Sarepta Studio.
Unsuccessful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign (Dec 2012 – Jan 2013) - to develop a choose-your-own-adventure visual novel with RPG elements for smart phones & tablets. Based on What The Fott© and Cera O'Malley.
Pitch
Proof of Concept
