[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 7718983, member: 53082"] So this more of a toolkit or guide for using their system in different types of games? "Fantasy" isn't really a setting. I agree with many of the above posters that this looks like the first effort in what will likely be several RPG's using the same system. They've been building up their own fantasy setting in various board and miniature games for a while now and that seems like a likely candidate. Someone mentioned a Twilight Imperium RPG - they had one 10+ years ago and it was ... not good. A more robust RPG for that seems pretty likely too. L5R is pretty obvious but I was thinking they might have acquired it as a setting to expand their new miniatures game system and I keep hoping that for an RPG they would keep the system L5R is known for. That seems less likely after this announcement as now they appear to have a official house system for RPGs - beyond just Star Wars - and with most companies that means everything they release is going to use a version of that system. Also we all know it's all about the IP these days. Develop it in one format, say a boardgame, and once it gets popular enough the expansion begins into Card Games, RPG's, miniatures, novels, etc. [/QUOTE]
