[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7867852, member: 2525"] So have we figured out what happened here yet? From reading between the lines: 1) The license was not up for renewal, 2) there is no known increase in price for the license, 3) there were creative differences of some sort. Sophisticated Games [URL='https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=2309335362504508&id=281989611905770']had this to say[/URL]: "Sophisticated Games commissioned The One Ring RPG from Francesco Nepitello back in 2008. The game that he - with Marco Maggi - created, exceeded our best expectations and has gone on to become one of the best - and successful - Role Playing Games of all time. Francesco and Sophisticated Games have had many other collaborations since then. We were saddened - and indeed surprised- to learn this week from Cubicle 7, our long term distributor and publishing partner, that they had decided against publishing the 2nd edition of TOR. This came in the middle of some [B]discussions on the dynamics of how[/B] Francesco, Sophisticated Games and Cubicle 7 [B]should work together in the future[/B]. But at no stage had there been any suggestion that TOR2 would not be published. Fans of the game should be assured that Sophisticated Games, in conjunction with Francesco and Marco, will do their best to rectify the current uncertainties." So, it sounds like "we have a process dispute on oversight" but again that's me reading between the lines. Anyone have anything on this? [/QUOTE]
