Mongoose Publishing has announced that it has acquired the Twilight: 2000 and 2300AD roleplaying games. This closely follows August's announcement that the company had acquired the rights to Traveller from creator Marc Miller.
Twilight: 2000, originally published in 1984, is a post-apocalyptic game set after World War III. 2300 AD, which was originally called Traveller: 2300, is set three centuries later after humankind has recovered from the war and is now exploring space. Mongoose has been publishing 2300 AD material under license since 2007.
Free League currently produces Twilight: 2000 under license, and Mongoose has indicated that that arrangement is expected to continue.
We are both very happy and proud to announce that Twilight: 2000 and 2300AD have been acquired in their entirety by Mongoose Publishing, joining our library of games alongside Traveller.
All three are games I read and played as a teenager, and so it is both awesome and humbling to become their stewards.
So, what does this mean?
Twilight: 2000
Twilight: 2000 is currently published by the frankly stellar people at Free League. We have had conversations with them and not only will Twilight: 2000 continue to be published by Free League for the current licence period, as things stand we have every expectation it will stay in their capable hands beyond that.
2300AD
You will be seeing more 2300AD material coming in the near future, and we have manuscripts due for both Invasion and a brand new book of adventures. In addition, we will be bringing 2300AD to the TAS programme on Drivethru, likely within the next few months - so get writing! Classic Traveller will be appearing on TAS within the next month or so, and once that is up and running we will get cracking on 2300AD.
