Warhammer Roleplay's producers closing!

[Eccles]

Hogshead Publishing, producers of the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game, S.L.A. Industries, Nobilis, and a handful of other games, is to close. They have returned the licence to produce the WFRP game to Games Workshop.

The company states that it is solvent, but is instead closing because

we are bored, creatively frustrated, and increasingly despondent about the future of the specialist games industry. After our successes in 2002, particularly the mould-breaking and critically acclaimed games Nobilis and De Profundis, we think we've gone as far as we can, and this seems a suitable high-point on which to call it a day.

A reversal of the trend for new game producers?

We had a huge thread on this very issue, featuring none other than James Wallis of Hogshead Games. Last week.
