Gallant Knight Games have signed an agreement with Nocturnal Media, the company that owns West End Games, to design, publish and distribute a new edition of the classic D6 System. The D6 System has been a popular system over the last thirty years and with FFG bringing out a limited anniversary edition of the classic WEG Star Wars The Roleplaying Game later this year the system will be in the spotlight again.
“Since Nocturnal purchased West End Games, the plan has been to revitalize the D6 System and modernize a system so many gamers have enjoyed.” Steve Wieck says, “This partnership with Gallant Knight is part of our journey to achieve that.”
This new edition will be overseen by Gallant Knight Games’ design team, with approvals from Nocturnal Media & West End Games.
“The West End Games D6 system and it’s classic D6 game of cinematic space opera adventure was hugely informative of my growth as a young gamer,” Alan Bahr, founder of Gallant Knight Games adds. “Helping to bring West End Games back into the mainstream gaming community is an exciting moment for us, and serving as the official West End Games creation and publishing studio is an opportunity of a lifetime!”
More announcements about changes in D6 System: Second Edition, timelines and dates will be forthcoming!
Gallant Knight Games and Nocturnal Media have had extremely close connections in the past, with Nocturnal Media buying GKG and bringing Alan Bahr on board until Nocturnal Media’s founder, Stuart Wiecks, sudden death earlier this summer. Gallant Knight Games returned to Alan and has since merged with novels and comics publishers Ragnarok Publications and Outland Entertainment.
The current D6 System is Open License, allowing anyone to produce games using the system.
