The current virus crisis has disrupted our progress on Bulletproof Blues 3, so to keep your interest up, here is a sneak peek at Valkyrie, one of the characters who will be part of Bulletproof Blues Character Pack 4. The illustrations are by artist Matthew Orders, also known as “Mro16“. As with our other character packs, the characters and images in Character Pack 4 will be released under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
We have updated Bulletproof Blues Character Pack 1 and Character Pack 2 to be compatible with the third edition of Bulletproof Blues. We have also made these products “Pay What You Want”.
While updating these products, we made some minor changes to the Bulletproof Blues Character Sheet Helper. This free product has also been updated.
The rules for Bulletproof Blues 3 are currently available on the RPG Library Open Game Content site. We are currently working on the layout for the print and PDF versions. When those are done, it will be available on DriveThruRPG.
Happy gaming!
After months of work, we are officially releasing the Bulletproof Blues 3 Character Sheet Helper. The LibreOffice sheet has been released on DriveThruRPG. The Bulletproof Blues 3 Character Sheet Helper is also available as a Google document — just copy it to a new document and get started.
The rules for Bulletproof Blues 3 are complete, as well. The full rules are available on the RPG Library Open Game Content library. As soon as we complete the layout, it will also be available on DriveThruRPG as a PDF and printed book.
Have fun!

Here is the full colour version of Tommy Lee, also known as Black Steel, “The Hidden Blade”. Black Steel was the winning character in the GagMen RPG Podcast character contest.
Tommy’s father was Korean, and his mother was an African-American US diplomat stationed in South Korea. His sculpted profile and green eyes gives him striking good looks, but his features are rounded enough to make him inviting rather than intimidating. He is always impeccably dressed when in his civilian identity; as Black Steel, he wears a black gi paired with a deep hood and a domino mask.
At the peak of human ability, even without his powers Tommy would be a deadly foe. But add in his ability to teleport, control kinetic energy, and mark targets, and you get an implacable hunter, able to reach targets where they think they are safest.
Here is the inked version of Black Steel, Kenji Ikiryo’s winning submission in the GagMen Podcast character contest.
Here is a sketch of the winner of our GagMen Podcast character contest: Tommy Lee, who calls himself Black Steel.
Today is the final day to enter our two contests. You must submit your entry or entries by midnight tonight in order to qualify!
The big contest is being sponsored by the GagMen podcast, and the winner gets their character illustrated by brilliant comicbook artist Sean Izaakse.
That’s a great prize even if you have no interest in anything else that comes with it (everything at the “Kalos Team-Up” reward level from the Bulletproof Blues Second Edition Kickstarter — that’s all the PDFs, a print version of the game, plus your character will be featured in Bulletproof Blues Second Edition).
The second contest is to redesign the character sheet format used in the rulebook. The winner gets a print copy of Bulletproof Blues Second Edition, and their name in the credits. Alternately, if you already have a copy of the game or simply would prefer cash, you can opt for a $40 cash reward instead of the book.
Here are the rules to both contests:
The character can be any hero, villain, or even regular person that anyone could find in the Bulletproof Blues universe.
Submission should include your name, email contact, and be no more than 1000 words, but could be as simple as a name. Pictures or photographs (for cosplayers) would also be acceptable, but please do not use a name or picture you don’t have the rights to use.
The character should be based in the contemporary world of Bulletproof Blues, or be capable of being used in the contemporary setting.
All character entries do not need to have statistics, though it would be helpful.
Four characters will be selected by the hosts of GagMen and those four finalists will be sent to Kalos Comics, who will select the winner. The winning character will be drawn by comic book artist Sean Izaakse and the character will be featured in Bulletproof Blues Second Edition. The winner will also receive a digital copy of the image, released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US license. Entries accepted until March 31, 2014 at midnight east coast time.

Entering is easy! Just take one of the sample characters in Bulletproof Blues, and write, draw, or design a new format for the character’s write-up. The winner will receive credit in the second edition credits and a free print copy of the game (either the current edition, or, if they are willing to wait for it, the second edition). If the winner already has the book, or would just rather have cash, we’ll pay them $40 via PayPal.
