The skinny on the new Atomic Robo RPG and Dresden Files RPG book delays, as well as information on the Designers & Dragons reprints.

Evil Hat Productions released their most recent State of the Hat for March 2014. The update – apparently scheduled for December 2013 but delayed because of, apparently Things! However, that won’t stop us from pulling out the most salient highlights for you:

• The much delayed Atomic Robo RPG is coming to shelves in “another few months.” There are also “other Robo ideas in the works, but they’re all at an early stage.”
• The next Dresden Files RPG supplement, Paranet Papers is apparently both “gigantic” and in layout right now for release this year. It’s apparently going to be a “late this year thing.”
• The endpapers for the book got previewed – they’re right there in this post.
• Dresden Files Accelerated, a rules-light version of the big Dresden Files game funded by the Fate Core Kickstarter, has started development. They say to estimate release in 2015.
• Evil Hat teased more Dresden Files project. Given their apparently sunny relationship with author Jim Butcher nobody’s surprised.
• The Spirit of the Century setting is getting lots of new material, including pulp-80s Shadow of the Century and young adult friendly Young Centurions settings.
• Evil hat’s fiction line continues to expand to the tune of four more novels.
• Co-Founders Fred Hicks and Rob Donoghue have pulled in a project manager, business development specialist, and marketer. Makes a lot of sense for a company that raised nearly half a million in Kickstarter money last year.
• More details were released on projects like Bubblegumshoe, Do: Fate of the Flying Temple, the War of Ashes RPG, and new Don’t Rest Your Head books and board games(?!) were also teased.
