Project Update: Happy New Year! What's In Store for Hedron 2025?!

Hi folks! Varun, creator of Hedron here. 

If you’ve been following along, Hedron has been growing and improving by leaps and bounds! From the launch of The Marketplace to the addition of Macros to directly addressing feedback from our LIVE FIELD TEST at PAXU, things have been crazy busy over here. 

But now that things have a moment of pause, we take that time to look at how Hedron is doing holistically. If you’ve been around a while, you know we do this every 6 months or so.

So what do we see? Hedron is doing great in many ways. We have organic user growth, we have systems that are finalizing before being launched to the Marketplace, we have great ideas for the next important features, and we have a bright future ahead as our tech reaches a less buggy and more “polished” state.

But, just in the same way, we also have things we aren’t doing well in. Specifically, while we’ve been focusing on some incredible goals and gathering some seriously important feedback, one thing is super clear: we can’t sustain our current pace of growth. Our crowdfunding gave us the funds to keep the servers online, so we aren’t worried about that – but, having UX experts, Marketing experts, and all those other kinds of experts isn’t easy.

So, if we want to keep up the momentum and keep moving forward, we have to make adjustments to what we focus on in what order. Let’s start with the basic stuff:
  • The Mobile App is very important. We made a promise to Role Gate and we plan to see it through. The simplification of our tech stacks will also compound on itself, so we can move faster overall.
  • The Marketplace and helping publishers bring their creations to life is very important. We need to make sure that doing so is both easy and encouraged. So we have a lot of planned Quality of Life things to focus on there.
  • Our Stretch Goals are important and very nice to have, but they don’t immediately help us. So we should take our time to get those things right and ramp up some other efforts first so we can focus on these things when it's time – this means doing it right the first time around rather than rushing the job.

Hopefully that all makes sense. What does it mean for our timelines? Basically, we are going to push back our Stretch Goals (including Offline Support) by about 2 months. You’ll still get them and if everything goes according to plan, you’ll actually get a higher quality and nicer product at that point. In the place of these goals, we’ll be adding some things like Mobile App, support for our indie creators, and activating the Subscriptions (+ Lifetime memberships). 

We have some big ambitions here at Hedron. And hopefully, you can see how if we focus on these other things first, it will multiply our growth rate and bring a better, more-refined Hedron 1.0 for everyone!

As always, thank you for the faith you have had in me as the Creator of this project. Your support has been absolutely incredible and you inspire me every day to work harder than ever before. From the big news in my life to the big updates in Hedron, you all make this endeavor possible.

Updated Timeline

You'll notice we kept the schedule lighter towards the end -- this is because this makes sure we have time to catch up if things get slow for some reason.

Shipping Update

While we’re here, you’re probably wondering: Where’s my package?

As I’ve always been, I will be fully honest here. We’ve been having some issues with our shipping partner. In short, we gave them all the stuff for round 2 of shipping in around November, with the basis that it would be mailed in December. Of course, it’s still not shipped.

I know, I’m as annoyed as you are – probably more, to be honest. And rest assured, we’re doing everything we can to try and get back on track. 

Here’s the current status: the packages are supposed to go out today. That means anyone without a dice tray should have their packages by the end of next week (Jan 17). Assuming of course, that nothing else goes awry.

But, we also have a plan if it does. We’ll get to that if it becomes necessary.

Once again, all I can say is that I’m sincerely very sorry. Our choice in partner has proven to be poor in this particular case and I can only promise to do better in the future. Thank you for your continued trust, support, and faith. 

Thank you, Hedron Community. You are truly the best.
Signing off for now!

Hello! I have two questions about the lifetime memberships: 1) Will the lifetime memberships be available for purchase on the TTM's website later down the road or are they campaign exclusives? 2) If I get a Traveler lifetime membership but two years later, I find I have a need for Adventurer, Hero, or World Builder will I be able to upgrade the lifetime membership to one of those or how will that work?

Project Update: New Phase of Development

Hey Hedron Backers! 

You’ve heard us say it many times already but it bears repeating: 2025 is a MASSIVE year for Hedron. After exiting our open-beta in February and soft-launching version 1.0 of the platform, we’re now entering a new phase of development, dedicated to providing larger, more focused updates on a consistent release cadence.  

This starts with complete rules support for D&D 5e, allowing you to design and play confidently in the most popular system in the world. Alongside this, we’re collaborating directly with other publishers to bring complete rules support to the platform for their systems. Right now we can share that we’re working with Gehenna Gaming to bring the Eldritch Automata system to Hedron, and will be able to share more information about the progress with them (and possibly others…) soon.

We just launched a whole slew of new features ranging from Adhoc Systems to Character Builders to The Asset Library! Didn't keep up? Don't worry, we're planning a 2025 recap email soon!

But regardless, in the coming days and weeks, you'll see us launch True 3D Battle Maps and improved functionalities through our Mobile App (now in Open Testing!). Join our Discord and get involved as we shape this new frontier for both Play-By-Post and Live Games! (https://discord.gg/hedron) Not to mention all the new partners we're gearing up to work with -- bringing you brand new games and expansions!

Finally, we want to give you a brief update on the remaining physical shipments awaiting fulfilment. The Dice Trays (and most of the TTRPG industry) got hit hard by the tariffs. BUT, we have persevered and gotten them at last! So now, we’re putting the orders together and shipping them out to those who are still waiting on everything. We hope to have everything fulfilled in the next few weeks, and are doing everything we can to accomplish that. Thanks for bearing with us! Make sure you check your email in case you're missing something -- it'll help us get your stuff in your hands ASAP!

More updates should be coming soon, so stay tuned here and on Discord! 

For now, take care!

I know you folks are probably busy, but I had been told that my backer t-shirt would be delivered to my address that I was forced to change to, but I have not seen it at the new address, and when I look at the status of the shipment, it says it was delivered to my old address. I don't have any access to my old address in any shape way or form. Is there something that can be done about this? I've already paid for shipping and everything.

Project Update: WAVE 1 SHIPS OUT: The Goods are On The Way!

Hello hello, folks of Hedron!

Varun here with a BIG update on shipping and all those fancy dice!
I have officially, after hours and hours of packing, completed the packaging for pretty much all of the Labradorite Sets! BEHOLD!


In parallel, we're about halfway through the shirts -- customized and personalized for each of you. Though, some of you haven't given us the username you want on your shirt -- and others yet haven't actually fixed the shipping payment processing! 👀

But anyway, the first wave has already been shipped! Expect it in a few days! Who's in the First Wave? And when should you expect it if you're not in it? Here're the deets!
  • Wave 1 (Arrives in a 2-3 business days): US-bound packages with Dice only (~80 packages)
  • Wave 2 (Early Dec arrival): All packages without Dice Trays (~70 packages)
  • Wave 3 (February): Everything Else (~15 packages)

Most of those timelines are based on shipping/handling time (packaging into mail-ready packages, writing customs forms, preparing labels, etc.), but the Dice Trays are actually still being manufactured. Of course, if you have an issue, let me know and I can see what we can do!

Otherwise, yes, Wave 1 is on the way and you should expect your packages next week! If you don't get it for any reason, let us know at [email protected]. Similarly, if you're not sure what Wave you would be in, also contact us at [email protected] -- we're happy to help!

And in the coming weeks, we'll be sending more and more...
Mid-December, we'll be back with another update once we're pretty sure everyone from Wave 1/2 have gotten their packages.

Thanks for all the support and hope you love the dice! I know I do!

Now, that's a lot of packages...
