Some dramatic news out of Cubicle 7:
We have some very unfortunate and unexpected news to share. Contractual differences arose recently which we have been unable to resolve, and so we have decided to end our licensing agreement with Sophisticated Games. It is with regret that we have made this very tough decision to withdraw.Full report here.
This means we will cease publishing The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth™ in the first half of 2020.
This is very disappointing news, as I think that their Adventures in Middle-earth products are among the best books yet published for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons.
Fortunately, C7 is having a sale now so that you can round out your collection before it all sails away to Valinor.
*sigh*
UPDATE (2020-03-27): The discontinuation announcement from C7 is from last November, so this is not really 'news'. (The sale date is for today, and I mistakenly thought that the announcement also was published today.)
However, on March 9th The Free League (Fria Ligan) announced that it will be taking over both lines (AiM and TOR)! So the journey goes on...
(Thanks to Rev. Lazaro for correcting me!)
So, this news actually hit months ago, BUT you might be happy to know Fria Ligan has picked up the rights for both One Ring and Adventures! So the lines will continue.
ReplyDeleteAck -- I read only the sale announcement date (today) and assumed that the discontinuation announcement date was the same. Obviously I have not been keeping up with C7 news of late.
DeleteGreat to know that the line will continue!
