The 6th Form

We see it as the duty of the older girls to educate and inspire the younger ones. So we have allowed the older girls a free space to add news and articles of interest to edify and inform you all. Pay attention at the back!

Released Once More!
Hellcats is now available once more in print from Cubicle 7 Entertainment in a deal they were keen to sign once the girls showed them the photos they had of them. This means Hellcats and Hockeysticks will be in your local games store as well as available now from the Cubicle 7 Webstore.

We also have another Review from the eminent Matthew Pook and it gets a mention by Chris Sims in Comics Alliance. The only thing we don't know is who stole the rather nice review Chris Churilla put up on Drivethrurpg! We will be interrogating the 4th form later but one suspects the perpetrators have long gone to ground.

Finally, Hellcats and Hockeysticks has also received a nomination for the Indie RPG Awards 2009. So please pass by the website and vote for St Erisians, just in case the girls know where to find you!

Coming to a store near you!
The St Erisian's board of governors is in talks with Cubicle 7 Entertainment about distributing our school rules to a wider audience. All going well this will mean Hellcats and Hockeysticks will be available in local games stores and the Cubicle 7 Webstore in a few months time. More news as it breaks!

The Reviews are in!
We've noticed a few reviews appearing for Hellcats, so if the threat of violence alone is not enough to send you out ot the shops to get hold of a copy, take a look at what these people have to say. The 4th form promised that no torture was used at all!

First there is a review on Drivethrurpg by Chris Churilla
Then the marvellous Grim drops an honourable mention in his Indiecon 2009 report
Finally the guys at Emotionally Fourteen review Hellcats at their blog

Hellcats Updated
We've finally had Hellcats marked by a proper teacher, who noticed a few minor spelling mistakes. So we've been in detention for a while fixing them. Most of the changes are simply layout issues or spelling that has been fixed. So don't worry, we havn't done a whole new second edition, if fact, you probably won't notice anything wrong with the original.

However, we did take the opportunity to change 2 of the special abilities of the Cliques as they were a little unbalanced. Firstly, it seemed unfair that Ninja Exchange students only got 1 extra die for their sneaking about. So we've bumped that up to 2. Secondly, Hockey girls were rather too powerful being able to add 1 to all the games skills. So we've changed that to adding 1 die when they are doing violence to people and things which makes more sense.

If you bought the game from Drivethrurpg, you should have already had a mail directing you to download the new version. Any further print copies from Lulu will also be the new version. If you have a print copy I sadly don't have a list of addresses to send you an update. However, I will happily send a free updated pdf to anyone with a print copy and a reasonable proof of purchase. In the meantime we'll add an errata to the site so you can see what changed.

Many apologies that we didn't fix this in the first version, I hope this doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the game.

Kamikaze Girls
Just when you think you've covered all the 'inspirations' you find something else. The trailer doesn't do this film justice at all. It's a story about two very different Japanese girls finding freindship in a very St Erisian's way.
