Happened with Chuubos Magical Wish Granting Engine when it all went tits up. I know that if I was a wealthy crazy rich individual I would bring back Clan War and Battlespace.

JazzFlight posted:If only they’d come through for all the Blacklist Games projects. What do you mean? The monthly red wax samples of a fantasy series 2 doesn't give you hope of it completing? Giving away the prototypes doesnt fill you with faith and confidence? Horror sitting at the china warehouse because they can afford container when they're the cheapest theve been in nearly 2 years doesn't instill you with awe at his ability to solve problems he created for himself?

Azubah posted:Apparently someone decided to just pay for all the shipping for cthulu wars. What other games have they not shipped and are hoping someone will bail them out? There's some speculation that Petersen Games has been bought out by Catalyst Game Labs. Catalyst recently announced that they were creating a boardgame division, and they will be selling Cthulhu Wars at Gencon.

90s Cringe Rock posted:a lance of urbies could take cthulhu There are a lot of embezzlement and not paying people companies, but I believe Catalyst is one of the good ones that took over for FASA, which may have been one of those companies. Battletech has actually had so many owners it is a bit confusing.

"I have a much uglier word for it sir, misappropriation." Yeah Shadowrun freelancers got hosed, Shadowun 6th edition is an amazing trainwreck, Battletech going from strength to strength until the guy in question needs an indoor pool

With some effort, we managed to get the Exquisite Corpse PDF out to backers yesterday. Preorders on the physical book are open on itch and at JetBacker, hopefully we'll have that on its way much quicker than the digital version. Sorry for the delay folks!

CGL is very complacent and corrupt and the guy who embezzled money is still the CEO and faced no repercussions. Honestly, them buying Petersen Games sounds like a match made in hell.

Dang, I am really down on the theme for Xcrawl and I haven't really jumped into Crawl Classics adjacent stuff but 40 dollars for a pdf seems bonkers to me. Also I've come to realize that I really like to see explicit paybumps for creators and artists in the stretchgoals as opposed to the format here of big jump for a new spell or something like that. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/devillich/xcrawl-classics-ttrpg

Zark the Damned posted:Looks like the speculation was correct. https://www.catalystgamelabs.com/news/catalyst-game-labs-petersen-games-announce-relationship Yep. Sandy announced it with the latest KS updates and on the Discord: going forward Petersen Games is solely a design studio and will have no hand in manufacturing. As he put it: he has had a 44 year career in game design with any number of massive successes from Call of Cthulhu to Age of Empires, but he lacks a similar legacy of successfully run businesses.

I think Catalyst has been able to make good on all their Kickstarters at least. I think I have received everything I ever backed from them and expect to receive the next line of mechwarrior stuff. So they have that over Petersen Games. And Catalyst shipping/paying to free the games that were being held hostage is certainly a good thing I would imagine?

Oh it's a good thing for KS backers, certainly. It's just a terrible business decision that only earns them goodwill and costs them thousands of dollars with no guarantee of future revenue. Catalyst could use the good press though since they still have a bit of stink on them from the embezzling thing, so maybe they feel it's a good deal in exchange for first dibs on Petersen's future output.
