Latest Updates from Our Project:

Update Twenty: Pledge Manager and Pre-Orders are open!
3 days ago – Mon, Nov 02, 2026 at 01:07:03 AM

Hi there,

Quick update today - we've opened the Pledge Manager. You can now lock in your order, enter the shipping address, add some add-ons, and pay for shipping.

And yeah, shipping. You might've notice it's a little bit more expensive than out estimate from 2 years ago. This is due to several factors - inability to ship directly to the US from Poland via Polish Post (which forces us to use a more expensive fulfillment partner), rising costs of shipping in general, and a lot of uncertainty around PPWR regulations in Europe. 



We're going to keep the Pledge Manager open for around 4-5 weeks to make sure everyone can complete it. In the meantime, please tell your friends you missed the campaign that they can also get the game through Pre-Order store, here: https://hellpower.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders 

In case of any questions, let me know at [email protected]

Best,
Paweł

Update Nineteen: Pledge Manager to open up shortly.
7 days ago – Thu, Oct 29, 2026 at 04:24:11 AM

Hi everyone,

First of all, thank you for such a kind reception of the PDF! I'm really glad that you like it.
But most of you order physical copies and we're now working on production so we can ship them as soon as possible. To enable that we'll need you to fill the Pledge Manager where you'll be able to share your shipping address and pay for the shipping itself.
We're starting today with a Smoke Test, sending email to 5% of all backers and if that works smoothly we will then send the Pledge Manager links to everyone else.

We are going to keep the Pledge Manager open for around 4-5 weeks but the sooner you complete it the better, so we can avoid any payment errors or technical issues.

We are also working on digital bonuses and a small surprise that will be exclusive to all backers (and one ON TOP of that for the highest tier pledgers). More details to come soon!

In case of any questions, please drop me an email at [email protected]

Best,
Paweł


Update Eighteen: Hellpower is here! PDFs sent!
13 days ago – Fri, Oct 23, 2026 at 04:09:10 AM

Hi there,

It's been a while. Working on this game took way more time and effort than I initially expected (and I will share more on that process at some point!) and I know many of you lost faith that this game will actually release anytime soon. But it's here!

I've just sent you an email through DriveThru RPG that will take you straight to the download. The files is marked as version 0.99 as we're still polishing the last minor details before we send it to print. But at the same time I wanted to show you how the complete game looks like. I really, really hope it was worth the wait.


Any feedback you would like to give or any kind of technical issues with downloading the file? Let me know at [email protected]

I'll come back with more details concerning the Pledge Manager, shipping, and everything else next week.

Thank you for your patience. Now, let's go hunt some Powered!
Best,
Paweł Kicman

Update Seventeen: Look at this map! || Post-testing Work.
about 2 months ago – Tue, Sep 15, 2026 at 01:20:58 AM

Hi everyone,

We wrapped up playtesting a little while ago, and based on all the feedback, we've decided to add even more content to the book - alongside fixing the smaller things that were flagged during testing.
That includes some new mechanics, but also more worldbuilding, including this glorious world map by Tommy Sunzenauer, creator of games like Obscure and MÖRK DÖD.



We're finalizing the additional content now, before sending everything to the editors (yes, plural!) for the final pass. From there, we'll approve the pre-final PDF, send it to every backer, do one more pass on the layouts to make sure everything is crisp, and rush it off to print.

Pre-orders and late pledges will go live as soon as we have that PDF, so anyone who's been waiting to pledge late can jump in right away.

Best,
Paweł

Update Sixteen: Open Playtesting starts soon! Sign up today.
4 months ago – Sun, Jul 19, 2026 at 05:42:55 AM

Hi everyone,

While we tie up the PDF that's going to be shared with every backer soon, we are coming into two important milestones - proofreading/editing and playtesting!

You can sign-up for the latter today to receive a specially prepared playtest copy of the game (formatted as a clean, simple word document with just text for maximum accessibility and readability). Should you like to go through playtesting it and share some feedback - we will upgrade your pledge level!

Here's the link: https://forms.gle/W5ogR3962A9NA8Kv9

We will share more details with the people who sign-up, but here's a little sneak peak of the adventure you will be able to run:

In the meantime, we are going into the final steps of pre-production, e.g. scheduling the print with the printer company.

Any questions, let us know!

Best,
Paweł
