Green Ronin and 4E

[Greg K]

I don't think it'd make much sense for GR to do yet another variant of d20, particularly when they already have True20.

I love True20 (although I would like to see Powers reworked to work more like Psychic's Handbook and Elements of Magic:Mythic Earth), but Chris has said that it was not their take/replacement for DND.

More power to Green Ronin! You guys don't need WotC's trickle-down money anymore!

Bravo!!! Excellent work!!!

 

[Truth Seeker]

Well, can say this wasn't expected.

You guys know when to smell a trap (metaphorically speaking).

But anyhow...your decision is a sound one. And the proper one...for you and your guys at your company.

This is good news. I support your choice.

I'm hoping to see the rest of the City Quarters source books in hard copy and Bleeding Edge Adventures as well. I'm a big fan of them. Maybe not the right venue. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Yes, yes, yes, Arcane Quarter in hard copy, please.

Two Thumbs Up for Green Ronin

The first thumbs up is for the continued production of and success with Mutants & Masterminds, one of my "5 Greatest Games Ever Made" and definitely my favorite superhero/comic book sysyem.

The second thumb goes to Chris Pramas and company for not supporting a system that as present does not seem to support its partners.

Keep on truckin' Green Ronin!

Yes, in print.

Did Dragon Fist ever get published? Is there any hope for it any more?

Sadly, I found it among a Wikipedia list of (non-movie) projects stuck in development hell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_development_hell_projects#Dragon_Fist

After starting his own company, Green Ronin Publishing(GR), Chris Pramas announced that GR had been given (or purchased) back the rights to the wuxia-inspired Asian martial arts movies influenced AD&D add-on ruleset and campaign world that he originally wrote for TSR/Wizards of the Coast; and that GR would publish a new version of the game.

A forum was soon set up at the GR web site (www.greenronin.com) where speculation about which rule-set would be utilized soon arose. Several times during 2004-2006 GR made announcements regarding the game's progress or details regarding its form, but no game has of yet materialized.

Dragon Fist has had a troubled history right from the start. It came right in the transition between AD&D and the (then) new Third Edition rules. This meant that Dragon Fist was never published on paper. It did reach the general public as a free PDF download for a limited time, before it was removed from the WotC website.

Recently, it has fallen between chairs again, in the aftermath of Green Ronin's troubles with a distributor, and because Green Ronin changed its plans for which ruleset to use.

As of 6 September 2006 the Dragon Fist forum at the Green Ronin website has been locked with the words: "As the game is currently still being developed, and because frankly there's nothing to say about it and this forum is currently only being occasionally used (and then only to complain) I'm locking it up for the time being. The Dragon Fist forum will re-open when there's information about the game that can be shared."
