Legends of Grayskull is no longer in active development. Dire Wolf is focusing on Tales of Xadia and looking into new projects, but never say never. It's not on my desk right now, long story short.

Our goal is to not only meet that previous bar, but keep working on exceeding it. My whole team is very happy with this new home!

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, the game I designed at Margaret Weis Productions, didn’t require a lot of narrative to handle both Thor and Black Widow on the same team. The game directly supported that and it worked really well based on the positive feedback we kept getting about it. Cheers, Cam

I had a blast developing this edition. There’s so much weird stuff that didn’t even make it to the book, but that just means all the stuff that’s in it are the choicest cuts. Cheers, Cam

I don’t think we’re measuring the success of game product lines on the quality of spin-off movies here. Cheers, Cam

Absolutely blew it? What on Earth are you talking about? Our product line under Sovereign Press was phenomenally successful. We released several dozen adventures, sourcebooks, and map kits during the 3.5 era. Some of my favourite design and development work. Cheers, Cam

It's not going to be much like D&D, other than the fact that there are elves, magic, swords, and dragons. And humans. Cheers, Cam

Hey @pemerton — were you a Cortex Prime backer? Did you have a chance to read over the pre-release PDF of the Game Handbook?

He’s an ancestor of mine!

When I wrote up the official stats for these characters in the Sovereign Press 3.5 era modules and sourcebooks, Flint and Laurana didn't have NPC class levels: the noble and the master were PC classes. The noble was more or less taken from Star Wars d20 and Wheel of Time; the master was an...

Sue also ran Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, too! That was a trip and a half.
