    Fantasy Flight Games Discontinuing RPGs?

    I noticed yesterday that the webpage for The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen 3e (which I wrote, and which was published by the FFG RPG division) has been taken down, as has its listing on the Asmodee store, and all the ebook versions of the game. I have not received any official...

    Dragon Warriors - Revised Edition - Rulebook

    How much information are you after? Friends or Foes will contain about 35 fully fleshed-out NPCs from the Lands of Legend, from high-ranking nobles, knights, mercenaries and Magi down to ale-sellers, beggars, monsters and even one inanimate object. Each one is given a detailed background and...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    My pleasure. [B] The line at the end of the press release? It was meant to come across as "We're not so big-headed that we actually think we ever changed anything of significance in the games industry, either by being in it or by leaving it." In retrospect it could have been clearer, but once...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Thanks for that. But Mytholder quoted our motto more or less accurately, and I have always called a spade a spade -- and now I don't have to try to persuade people to buy our books any more, I don't have to pull my punches any more. Ebeneezer was an arse in the early 90s and, based on the...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Yeah. We developed OUaT in the early 1990s and sold it to Atlas in 1991. I didn't start Hogshead till 1994.

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    As I work through this thread (sorry I'm late to the party; I spent last week closing down the company and working on Dragonmeet, which I chair), let me stamp on this right now. I don't dislike d20. I think it's a terrific game system. I think the OGL is a stroke of genius. Jon Tweet is one of...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    It's really me. If you want to prove it, email me at the address given on the Hogshead website, going "Hey, man, is that you on the EN world boards calling Ebeneezer an arse?" I will reply in the affirmative within 24 hours.

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Yeah, I used to play AD&D a bit. Back in 1986, I and some friends set the Guinness World Record for non-stop AD&D (yes, we got into the book), and raised a whole heap of money for charity doing it. I kept that under my hat while being Mr Indie Gamer at Hogshead but hey, what's a trumpet good for...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Dude! Haven't seen you since the Compuserve days. Good to see that some things never change and you're still an arse. I think the number of people who have posted "I read Nobilis and man, this is over my head" messages kind of bear me out. Not every RPG is aimed at every RPG player, and we've...

    [UK] Going to Dragonmeet?

    Hi. I'm the chairman of Dragonmeet, and the guy who takes his shirt off on-stage. Neither of these are necessarily good things. 1. The Game in a Day stuff will -- when the rest of this hellish month is over -- be made available in a limited-edition print version, and an online PDF. All profits...
