Todd C Rowland Yes but don't type "$$$" like it's a bad thing. $$$ makes businesses better, and we have a lot of capital now for reinvestment. If you're assumption is all this money is going into Zinser's pocket, you're dead wrong.Fact is, it took a lot of maturity on the part of the company to recognize that despite how attached we are to L5R, that it would thrive at FFG. Ultimately we put our own desire to chase rebuilding it behind and gave it, IMO, an amazing chance to live on for years to come. I won't quote Sting lyrics, but you probably know the one that applies.
Dave Laderoute27 minSamurai of Rokugan,And that's probably the last time I'll ever write that. It's taken me a day to get my own thoughts together on this, and that's despite the fact that I've been aware of what's been going on for a while now (hence my somewhat low profile these past couple of weeks). Things actually kinda puttered along for a while, and then the deal with FFG came together very quickly. And now, here we are.Firs off, I want to say, without reservation, that I believe that this move of L5R to FFG is absolutely the best thing for Rokugan and the games set there. FFG does amazing work, producing fantastic products--I've played all of their LCGs at one time or another, and particularly look forward to finally getting my hands on the new Game of Thrones LCG. They also do terrific board games, and are generally one of the best game companies around (almost as good as AEG Emotikon smile ) L5R is in excellent hands; I can't wait to crack open the new L5R LCG in 2017 and start playing with all those tokens (sorry, I own a game store, and a multitude of tokens is a running, but fond, FFG joke).So there's that. For my own part, though, this has been tough. While absolutely the right decision for the game and for AEG, it's been hard seeing this Brand that I only took over a few months ago walk out the door. Like the rest of the Brand Team, I had high hopes we could revitalize the game; it was in a great place mechanically, the broad story we had planned out was AWESOME, and the degree of interaction we wanted to offer you guys to guide and detail it was unprecedented. However, there were also some hard truths. The game's days as a CCG were numbered. We'd already concluded it was time to reinvent it, and were working on a plan to do new things with it, including quite likely turning it into an ECG like Doomtown. Ultimately, all roads led to where we are now--a hiatus for the card game and its reinvention into something other than a CCG. This is where more hard realities came into play. I can't get into details, obviously, but suffice to say that, at the end of the day, selling the Brand to FFG was the only course of action that made sense. John Zinser actually asked me to convince him otherwise, so I sat down and tried to assemble a compelling argument to keep L5R and redo it ourselves...but nothing I could put together was enough to convince ME, much less John. I can guarantee you that John, myself and a few others met many times, emailed many more, agonized and second-guessed, lost sleep and worried, before the decision we all knew was coming was finally made.So here we are.Perhaps what makes me saddest of all is the fact that the awesome, amazing people I had the privilege of working with are going to be moving on. Bryan Reese is staying with AEG, as am I (I'm taking over Love Letter), but John Akey, Dan Dineen, Shawn Carman and his amazing Story Team, Rob Hobart, Adrian Burton, Rob Denton, Jeremy Sumerlin, Fred Wan, Roger Giner-Sorolla and the Rules folks, our Design Team...all will be moving on to other things, either sooner or, in some cases, later. These people are more than my coworkers...they're my friends. Seeing this crazy little team of ours break up is tough. Now, some of these folks may find new work with AEG, some may find some opportunities with FFG and carry on with L5R...but it won't be the same. I bow to all of you, in respect and friendship, and wish that the Fortunes watch over all of you.Okay, that's maudlin enough. I'll end on some stuff of interest to you, the players:-I'm meeting with the FFG folks this coming week and will be handing over a bunch of stuff to them, including all of our outstanding story and tournament results (and adding the Fall Kotei results and the Euro Champs results as they come in). I'll certainly be advocating to FFG to incorporate all of this stuff into the game and setting when they relaunch it. They, in turn, have already said they'll do their best to do so, but in the end, it will be their call, based on what they believe will be best for their new Brand.-I have no idea what FFG intends to do with the story...whether they intend to pick it up where we leave it, or start something new. Again, this will be entirely up to them, and its something else I'll be discussing with them next week. Our plan is to wind down the story of L5R for AEG in the most awesome way possible, and leave it in the best, most "samurai drama" place we can. You'll see more about this in the coming days and weeks.-you're likely aware that Rob Denton has been working on a novel, which we intended to publish in 2016. I'll be discussing this, as well, next week with FFG, to try to determine what's going to happen to this project.-regarding previews for Evil Portents, we'll probably just release all of them in the Oracle of the Void. However, that's something we have yet to finalize. We'll let you all know what we're planning sometime early next week.-you may have noticed that the AEG forums disappeared. They're not gone, just hidden. We did that to avoid having folks posting things based on sheer emotion and ending up running afoul of moderators, etc. As it turns out, the dialogue I've seen since the announcement has been, with only a few exceptions, measured and respectful (not quite so true for my own email, but I've got a pretty thick skin). We'll probably start reopening at least some of the forums--for example, the Rules forum, with its accumulated rulings, and the Kotei event forums--next week. More will follow on this.-I'll be discussing the release of the PDFs for The Blackest Storm and Onyx Edition with various folks, to ensure that no one has any issues with us releasing them. Accordingly, at this point, I can't PROMISE that we'll release them; even though I personally don't see an issue with it, it's not entirely my call. Once more, we'll let you know what we decide...well, as soon as we decide it.-finally, I've had a lot of questions about the RPG. The new "Atlas of Rokugan" will still be releasing, and soon. That was always going to be the last 4th Edition product (technically, it's edition-neutral, but we'll go with it being the final 4th Edition book). We were considering if and how to do a 5th Edition, but that's obviously up to FFG now. I have no idea what they intend to do with the RPG; they've certainly indicated that they're interested in releasing RPG products, but I believe that it's too early for them to say much more. My own belief (and I emphasize this is my belief, not based on anything I've discussed with them) is that they'll look at doing other L5R products once the LCG has been released and depending on its success. That means a long wait for any new RPG material. However, it's something that's once more in FFG's hands.I think I've gone on long enough now. I just want to end with a bow to all of you, the amazing, fantastic, sometimes aggravating, always entertaining fans of L5R. I'm sure we'll cross paths again, so this is not sayonara, a final goodbye. Until we DO meet again, carry the Fortunes, all of you.
A ja Wam powiem, że niemalże od 20 lat gram bitewniaka Warzone... od tego czasu gra upadła dwa razy, a pomiędzy ostatnim upadkiem a odrodzeniem minęło chyba z 10 lat - jak są wierni fani i nowy wydawca, to gra ma zawsze szanse
Cytat: Mlodywiem ze to offtop ale co to znaczy RTFC?Przeczytaj na spokojnie tekst karty.
wiem ze to offtop ale co to znaczy RTFC?
Zasłyszane że w obecnej edycji fabułą powrócili do początków z jakimiś ogólnie fabularnymi wciągnięciami dla nowych. Zasłyszane od lokalnej grupy że MtG zrobiło krok w dobrą stronę bo dużo usytematyzowali itp itd. Ogólnie że MtG jest teraz świetne (nie, absolutnie to nie jest reklama), coś pozmieniali z duelami które są bardziej przyjazne dla graczy i każuali i turniejowych. Wypuszczono wersję elektroniczną onlineową, która współgra z kolekcją fizycznych kart. Coś tam jeszcze było....Gość mi takie tratata jak z karabinu zrobił, językiem jakimś dziwnym i tyle zdążyłem zapamiętać. Wszelako dużo tego i bardzo innowacyjne, co już podobno przekłada się na wzmożone zainteresowanie grą.Jak go dopadnę znowu to go nagram albo zapiszę. Bo ciekawe to było. Czyli się da.
