WFRP/40K games shut down by GW [merged]

[CapnZapp]

"Black Industries regret to announce that Dark Heresy: Disciples of the Dark Gods out in September will be the final product to be released from Black Industries.

For the time being Black Industries will continue to post articles in support of the products on their official website, which is a fantastic resource for scenarios and gaming tools for GM’s and players alike."

That's sad news indeed...

I still haven't checked out the W40K RPG, but WFRP was a very good game.

...well..

...well..

Yup, that just about sums it up...

That game was good enough to get me over my virulent hatred of GW and start purchasing one of their properties. Thank goodness they destroyed any chance of that before I made a mistake and gave them money.

Maybe it's because I have not really worken up yet, but I tried to understand what went on to bring about the decision. Black Library, Black Industries, Black Label Publishings, sister companies.. So confused..

Maybe when I wake up after my coffee I'll be able to follow it.

What on earth?!!?!?!?

Talisman was one of the most successful board games of 2007, and Dark Heresy perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited RPGs since, well, since 3E D&D. They sold out of the limited edition in a matter of minutes, and sold out of the regular print run before they even shipped it out!

What is going on over at Games Workshop? I've seen a lot of out and out stupid decisions in my 13 years in this industry, but this one is probably one of the biggest...

I am so glad I didn't drop the $50 on Dark Heresy this weekend.

SOB!!!!!

Well, wfrp is complete game with cool supplements, so as long as i have my books I can play it for as long as I live. I hope they keep reprinting it for new players.

DH is supposed to be a complete game in its own right, should be enough for a long timew as well.
