Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 9783693" data-attributes="member: 725">They are a business that runs primarily on IP they don't own, they have to milk it as fast and for as long as they can. It's not just Warhammer (40k), they also do Doctor Who and The Laundry (and they have a history of licensed titles).I also suspect that it's a confluence of different events and circumstances. They've been doing WFRP4e since 2018, while Warhammer is big, the pnp RPG certainly less so. So it isn't strange that they suffer from declining sales after 7 years when WotC has the same issue and releases a new 'edition' after 10 years (C7 after 8 years with WFRP4e). And it's a double the time that WFRP2e was around (only 4 years)... A new edition generally invigorates an old pnp RPG in the sales department. With The Old World and The Horus Heresy RPGs, I suspect that it's partly waiting to see which way the cat jumps and permission from GW to make pnp RPGs about these specific IPs. For us Warhammer fans, it was a coin toss whether or not The Old World would stay around as a supported game, or it would go the same route as many of the other sub games GW produced. To a lesser extend the same was true for the HH game, there were serious questions about what would happen after it's 2nd edition, the 3rd edition of HH was a surprise to many. But it looks like continued support from GW for both games for a while.I still hope that the Marienburg book will be released under the WFRP4e label. Because I have a bit of a bad experience with the 'compatibility' label most publishers promise...Oh...
