We’ve been busy little bunnies here at the studio and we thought that
this was a great time to tell you about all things Harebrained.
Oh! And between Harebrained Reports, you can always keep up with us our new and improved HBS website!

BATTLETECH Development Continues!
Since our last Harebrained Report, the BATTLETECH team has shared a ton of new information about the game across several Kickstarter updates. Learn more about the Customizable DropShip Home Base from Mike McCain, Prototyping Turn Order from Jordan, and last but not least, check out this meaty update about Campaign Setting Details from our Design Lead, Kevin Maginn.
All caught up with the Kickstarter updates? Join us for our monthly BATTLETECH Dev Q&A on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 2pm PST and bring any questions you might have. Save the date for our next Q&A on Wednesday, July 13 on Twitch.tv/HyperRPG.
After the show, head over to Comstar: the Global Battletech Community Forum to chat with new and old Battletech fans to talk about all things Battletech. Mitch and members of the team are in our Ask the Dev sub-forum all the time answering questions and it’s been great seeing the amazing community forming there. We encourage you to head over to check it out.

Hyper Rabbit Power Go!
Harebrained Schemes’ sister company, Hyper RPG is a hyperactive, interactive community-driven livestreaming channel on Twitch that features kickass RPGs, innovative tabletop & the latest video games. If you’re not familiar with Twitch, think of Hyper RPG as a live TV channel with daily programming that you get to participate in!
The channel has a variety of entertaining shows including RPGs, creative shows with VR and minis painting, geek and gaming news, trivia games, and an upcoming American-Gladiators-meets-Pathfinder show.
Not surprisingly, two of our favorite shows on the channel are Shadowrun: CorporateSINs (Wednesday at 6PM PT) and Death From Above (Fridays at 6PM PT).
Shadowrun: CorporateSINs follows the adventures of a rag-tag group of runners as they make their name in the 6th world. As shadowrunners, Team MMFEC is, of course, subject to the whims of the corps and their employers, who rarely have their best intentions in mind. Known for their constructive-destruction approach to problem solving, MMFEC always gets the job done! Catch up on all the past episodes on Youtube but here’s an episode of CorpSINs that we love to get you started.
Death From Above is the first-ever BattleTech RPG featuring dramatic tabletop battles with 3D-printed ‘Mechs that take REAL damage during the game! The show stars our very own BATTLETECH designer, Tyler Carpenter, as gamemaster and Mitch, as the crusty commander of a lance of mercenary MechWarriors called Mason’s Marauders who traverse the Periphery making friends, foes, and C-Bills. Here’s a great episode of Death From Above to give you a taste! BTW, audience members who tune in live can influence the game and troll the players. You should really check it out.
