Heavy Gear. Sales of both products were low, and in 2004 the company ended its role-playing game production to concentrate on their miniatures combat games. The company then created Dream Pod Entertainment, which was intended to extend the company to movies and television, including work on the 2004 film Eternal with Caroline Néron and the 2007 film 300, and used this movie industry money to help fund production of Heavy Gear Blitz!, a mecha miniatures game, which was nominated for a 2007 Origins Award in the category of "Miniatures Game or Expansion of the Year". Dream Pod 9 was nominated for two ENnie Awards, "Best Miniature Product" and "Best Electronic Book", in 2008. In 2008, Dream Pod 9 licensed the rights to Heavy Gear to Steve Jackson Games, which wanted to create a fourth edition Heavy Gear roleplaying game based on the GURPS rule system; ultimately Steve Jackson Games decided to shelve the project, and in 2010 relinquished their rights to the game. After that decision, when an interviewer asked Dream Pod 9 company president Robert Dubois which of the three versions of Heavy Gear players should use, he replied, "The second edition of the Heavy Gear Roleplaying Game is the best version of the RPG and has the most support in material." In the same interview, Dubois also revealed that the design team was working on a fourth edition that would be a revision of the second edition, not as a roleplaying game but as a combat game compatible with the miniatures game Heavy Gear Blitz!; to date, it has not been published. In 2012, Dream Pod 9 announced a five-year partnership with Stompy Bot Productions (now BlocPlay Entertainment) to commercialize Heavy Gear; in 2017, the two companies renewed the partnership for a further five years, with plans to include sponsorship of eSports tournamaents. In 2013, Dream Pod 9 was nominated for an Origins Award in the category of "Best Miniatures Rules" for Heavy Gear Blitz! Perfect Storm: The NuCoal Field Guide. In 2015, Heavy Gear Blitz! Tabletop Wargaming - Living Rulebook was released for free on DrivethruRPG as a PDF. In the following year, Heavy Gear Blitz! Tabletop Wargaming - Quick Start Rulebook was also released on DrivethruRPG. Both of these rulebooks were last updated on February 23, 2018. In 2016, Beta Playtest Rules for a new edition of Jovian Chronicles, called Jovian Wars, were released for free
