Countdown-timer at Green Ronin...? What's it all about?

X-Men

I hope it is DC or Marvel. I just don't see a partial license working like X-Men or Justice League (unless it is JLU). Part of the problem with the Authority/Stormwatch was that it only covered such a small part of Wildstorm.

As Image is largely made up of separate creator/studio owned properties, there's no way that all of it could be licensed together. Image doesn't, as a company, own the rights to any of the major properties published through it.

Characters from Spawn, Invincible, Witchblade, Savage Dragon, and Youngblood may interact with each other in comics, but when it comes to licensing each is a seperate property, belonging to different people or groups, each of whom would have to be dealt with seperately.

Good call. I stopped paying attention to Image a while ago, forgotten how they work.

I'm guessing Invincible is still awesome, though.

Orc & Pie the RPG

Seriously though, I don't really care, I just wish they stop delaying the SIFRP stuff....

Technically, Hasbro has the rights to Marvel's 'roleplaying' products. In practice, this means things like 'Hulk Hands' rather than anything resembling Pen and Paper RPGs. Also, apparently Joe Quesada has stated(anecdotal until I find a quote) that he's against RPGs in general. Of course given the last Marvel RPG, I can't say I blame him.

The DC license on the other hand was in Black Library's hands not too long ago and the closeness to Green Ronin and the joy of M&M players everywhere was palpable. A property that big however might be a bit overwhelming for a company the size of Green Ronin. I'd only want them to do it if I knew it wouldn't hurt the company.

I honestly don't think it will be either of these games. Like Song of Ice and Fire, I expect it to be a smaller-ish property with its own (non-M&M) system.

I note that the Doctor Who RPG announcement is no longer there at Cubicle 7.

I'm sure I heard a rumour somewhere linking them/that to Mongoose recently.

Hrm.

I was rather hoping to see what Cubicle 7 would do. I understand that they have a system where a player can control an empire or a character, and both can be used during the same game session. That sounded like a perfect mechanical model to cover the vast range of possibilities in Doctor Who!

Maybe Green Ronin picked up the license to Image comics or Dark Horse?
