I'm still getting asked occasionally about Vigilance Press<br />
<br />
1) I have no idea what's happening with any of their previous game lines or IP (from before the acquisition).<br />
Per the advice of my lawyer, I will never publish another Wargames product again. Sorry - but that's the safest route.<br />
<br />
2) I'm aware of the Monte Cook article. All I can say is: I'm sure Monte meant well and wrote the best article he could with the information he was given. I have no further comment on that.<br />
<br />
3) I have no inside info or insight into anything Vigilance Press is doing. I'd simply direct any queries to them.<br />
I really don't know anyone there anymore and (again, per my lawyer's advice) I have no contact with anyone there anymore.<br />
90 percent of the creative talent who were working with Vigilance Press before the acquisition are no longer affiliated with the company. Including me. Read into that whatever you like.<br />
<br />
So - to sum up: I don't know what's going on at Vigilance Press anymore. And I've got no further comment on their current activities, the acquisition or anything.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7296286965630546894.post-29617013800385408222013-10-18T09:37:00.003-07:002013-10-18T09:37:43.136-07:00Colorado Flood Relief Bundle<span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Fainting Goat Games has (in conjunction with many other publishers) </span><a href="http://tinyurl.com/q2kr9bp" style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #563973; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 800; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">launched a Colorado Flood Relief Bundle</a><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">.

Work is continuing on Stark City.<br />
Improbable Tales and Justice Wheels will broth wrap up in the next 2 months.<br />
After Stark City 2013 will be fairly quiet for FGG. But we will be publishing a new ICONS setting - Extreme Earth from Jon Gibbons and Joe Bardales<br />
<br />
and here's a preview of some Stark City art - snack cake parody ads (because we're goofy like that)<br />
