>announce necromunda RPG with figs>forget you sold the rights to make 40k RPGs on years ago>stealth cancel your announced RPG without actually explicitly saying anythingIs anyone at GW steering the fucking ship lmao
>>98816620I am. Sorry guys, I fucked up I know.
>>98816620Every big company is so retarded these days. It really kills the whole concept of cyberpunk corporations being like feudal kingdoms, when after a certain size every company selects for retarded people to lead them within a decade.
>>98816865Let me take over and I can't possibly run it worse than you are anon.I'll make you money hand over fist and if I don't you can blame the chuds.
Nah, they were about to go on preorder when they realized someone snuck an image of animal sodomy into page 34
>>98816945So the rumors of focusing in the Muslim population is true.
>>98816620Why not simply create it, define it as a persistent narrative wargame, create a new subcategory of licensing called "world of warhammer" which doesn't have the numeral 40,000 on it anywhere, and dare FFG to join you in a dragged out legalese endurance battle?
>>98816910it baffles me that people always default to thinking corporations are infallible. Theres this fallacious assumption they hire only the best people and always make he best decisions. its simply not the case, thats why the free market exists to weed these companies out
>>98817079>child soldiers>religious tyrany>holy wars>slaveryIdk what to tell you, 40k was always muslim
>>98818635>thats why the free market existsuuuum him don't say
>>98816910Kingdoms were that retarded, most fell for that reason.
>>98816620Isn't the going theory that GW somehow forgot they made an exclusive RPG deal with C7 and only found out after they announced this thing?
>>98820490Games Workshop probably didn't expect their licensors to assert their rights, because they're a big shitty company used to bullying their way through everybody.
>>98820490I wonder if they'll just rebrand it as a Silvertower-esque pseudo-RPG boardgame or if they'll just give the rights over to C7. Considering C7 is doing Imperium Maledictum they could just slot it in as part of the Recidivist line to that game.
>>98820505I'm surprised too, C7 relies on their GW license money to operate, 90% of their yearly releases are Warhammer RPGs, and those sell much more than their own IP.
>>98820531the game didnt even seem like a proper ttrpg.i wouldn't be surprised if they just change the name to necromunda boardgame or something stupid.
>>98820554>the game didnt even seem like a proper ttrpg.How do we define what an RPG here is?From what they showed of the game, you can create your own PC, and that PC has their own Stat sheet; that's about as much of an RPG as D&D is.
>>98817634>FFGlol. Not for a decade. It's Cubicle 7 now.
How do you basically do all the work on such a thing without considering if you actually have the rights to do so? Like those Spaniards that decided they were making Heroquest 25th Anniversary despite no permission from GW, Hasbro or the unrelated RPG company that owned the name.Someone in the Specialist Games Studio will be getting told off.
People don't remember Dark Heresy 1.0 selling out, like sold out within minutes in an era when that wasn't common at all from GW, and then within the next week GW announcing they were retiring support and FFG rushing to pick it up. GW have always, ALWAYS, been retarded with anything other than Warhammer 40,000.
>>98820490>>98820505I don't think they forgot, I think it's that they have a Sears-style internal departmental competition so each department literally does not know what the other departments are doing.
>>98816865Good job with the Primaris.
>>98818635>it baffles me that people always default to thinking corporations are infallible. Theres this fallacious assumption they hire only the best people and always make he best decisions.People see different corporations bragging about lasting 100 years such as Ford, and not realize that those guys are the exceptions rather than the rule, and additionally have a hard time noticing that a company's time at the top tends to last only a 2-3 decades/recessions before a new force dominates.Tech has been the big dogs for the last ~30 years, so it seems to be eternal...but they are really close to their limits of being the big names. It's part of why AI is being pushed so hard and is so scammy, it's a last gasp.
They'd better fucking repurpose those models because I want that heretek
Why not just call it a board game if you have to play on a grid using a pre-gen character? That's what they did with Blackstone Fortress, Cursed City, et al.
>>98820731>>98820934>>98820490>be aspiring underling in Geoff whathisbong's fief of gwsg >don't really like working with geoff, guy's kind fo a knob>geoff gets great idea to make necromunda rpg >no one tell him >let it tank geoff's career, scramble up the ladder No actual idea but someone would have known so its either something like this or IP flexing to start a legal fight.
>>98821289Because you can create your own character, the box comes with a full stack of empty character sheets to make themIt also requires a GM which I think all the dungeon crawl board games have done away with, except for HeroQuest
>>98821289>nucromunda>speedpaint>troon flagFuck it, I'm out. I'll take the risk of getting shot in the back.
>>98820741They're retarded with 40k too, it's just that they aren't bigger retards than the people who play it.
>>98820580I'm still waiting for any fucking news for the Horus Heresy rpg they said was dropping this year.
