The v0.7 rules for Young Gods can be found in the Backer Only section below! Please download at your earliest convenience! A summary of the changes thus far:
- A revamp of tons of little systems for clarity
- Plenty of grammar and editing changes
- Combat has been streamlined and clarified
- Overhaul of the Nemesis System
- Overhaul of Anointments for simplicity and balance
- New Gods added
- New and updated art!
And for the Poster Poll...with over 50% of the vote, the cover of Young Gods will be selected as the poster of choice! Don't worry if you didn't pre-back the project or back within the first 48 hours, we will be printing a surplus, and you can purchase the poster as an add-on when the pledge manager goes live.
Thank you all for your patience and patronage, and we hope you enjoy the current rules preview!

Back Spread Poll Closed + POSTER POLL
Hello everyone!
Our last poll was a CLOSE one, wither both Izha AND Sif winning in the end with an even 33 votes! Well, jeez, alright, I'll talk to Mister69M about getting BOTH of them into that image. He's pretty damn good, so I think it's entirely doable!
And NOW we have another poll, this one for the early backer special incentive poster! We want everyone to pitch in and choose what they want to see on their wall, displayed in glorious 36 x 24 inch size. There are six options, and if you need high-quality examples of the art, please see them here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17z_IU6wD5H0muFMXo2Qes6qQJe10qLKQ?usp=sharing
You can find the new poll here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/hammer-city-games/young-gods-a-narrative-game-of-lost-divinity-and-hope/polls/7305
Now, in other news: work on v0.7 is coming along. We have a TON of updates for it: rules adjustments and calrification, new or updated art, and of course we are beginning to populate with Deus-tier backer deities! It will be ready in about 1-2 weeks, after which it will be released in an update in the Backers Only section AND on itch.io and DTRPG.
Thank you all for your continued support and appreciation for everything Young Gods. This is shaping up to be a massive success, and we could not do it without all of you!
See you in the next update!

ART POLL + Minor Update
Hello everyone!
Progress is steady with the book, and we are preparing for a v0.7 release in the coming months! We are collecting a lot of art, and finally getting our professional editor to go through the book and make sure the grammar and rules are coherent and good! Honestly, recently we have undergone a LOT of updates and changes for quality of life for the game, and we are very excited to show you all our most recent work! It will be here later in June!
However, I am informing you all today of a new poll in which YOU can help contribute to the art in the book! We are wanting to get a big double-page spread at the very back of the book, and we would like you to all cast your vote on what Goddess + Monster you would like to see in said piece!
Note: Only Backers can actively vote in the poll, so if you have backed the game, be sure to cast your vote!
Link: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/hammer-city-games/young-gods-a-narrative-game-of-lost-divinity-and-hope/polls/7137
We are getting some quotes for dice and posters from various vendors at the moment, and of course will keep everyone in the loop regarding logistics and what and when things are produced as we continue along.
Thank you all again, and please vote!

CAMPAIGN DONE!
What a ride everyone! $42,000 and 15 minutes in overtime, and Young Gods is funded at 210%!
We are so so so thankful for all of you, your patronage, and all of you believing in this game. This is a dream come true for us as our first major step into a first-party TTRPG system coming out under the HCG brand. Seriously, this is awesome, and we are humbled by your support.
So, next steps:

So, next steps:
- We are finalizing some printer quotes, and are working diligently on the game. Backers can see the Backer Only section below to access v0.6 of the game AND a Google form for submitting any errors you find. Our professional editor has yet to pass through the game, so please excuse any obvious errors or typos.
- Our current mission is to finalize the content in Chapters 6, 7, and 8. Please excuse any major blank spaces you find, those parts are under construction!
- We need to get the rest of the art! Progress is pretty good, and we hope to get things feature complete by the end of summer.
- FOR ALL DEUS BACKERS: Please reach out to us via email OR on Discord (you can add me as hammercitygames) so we can organize your contributions to the project. If we don't hear from you in a week, we will send you an email!
- There will be some polls coming out for you all to participate in so that we can finalize the posters and some additional art features in the book, so keep an eye out for those!
- We are hoping to get dice, posters, and books printed by November of this year at the latest. We will keep everyone in the loop if there are any major logistics issues or changes.
- We are planning to open Pre-Orders/late pledges very soon, so keep an eye out for those if you didn't back the project during the campaign.
Thank you all again, and let's get this show on the road!

3 HOURS LEFT
In 3 hours, Young Gods's campaign will be complete.
Wow. $40,000 with only a few hours to go. I am shocked, humbled, and very thankful for all of you. We are so excited to share Young Gods with you, and pumped for you all to receive the current build of the game ASAP. Of course, because the campaign ends at midnight tonight (EST), I will be asleep when the clock runs out, so I will celebrate with you all tomorrow!

Any chance of more male deities art in the book? All representations would be welcome, but personally I would prefer androgyne or femboy types. Yes, I did see one of the latter in the book but more is always better when it comes to art, right?

We are wanting to get a HUGE double-page spread by Mister69M at the back of the book, and would like YOUR help to figure out who will be rendered in stunning detail by his hand. Below are four options containing 4 goddesses and 4 monsters from various mythologies. Please choose who you are the most interested in seeing! (Note: pictures seen are more representations of their possible designs/vibes/general aesthetics and are not representative of the final product)
