Breaking news! Things are confusing and exciting now. Fantasy Flight Games, one of my favourite game publishers and the publisher of the master piece Midnight campaign setting, have reached an agreement with Games Workshop to create games based on GW IP.

Interesting. I still don’t have high hopes for WFRP, but at least there’s some measure of hope at the moment!

WFRP: Black Industries put down

In an incredibly disappointing move, Black Library today announced that Black Industries, the publisher of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay and Talisman will cease publication of games. In a spectauclar display of corporate lingo, Black Library claims they will take this opportunity to focus on the core business of publishing novels.

Well, it was a good run while it lasted, and WFRP have emerged from this stronger than ever. It’s going to be interesting to see how WFRP fans deal with this. If the past is anything to go by, there will be much gnashing of teeth and boasting of prophetic prowess as people fire up their “I told you so”-engines.

The fact remains; BI put out a great game and some great supplements, and their efforts will be sorely missed.

EDIT: here’s the link to the announcement:

The terrible news!
