This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: jrientsOkay, there's a disconnect going on in this whole Aria business.  Now its been a while since I read the game and certainly I could be misunderstanding, but I could have sworn that your PC is the kingdom.  I.e. your character sheet is NOT for "Bob, Lord of Bobia" the ruler of a vast dominion.  Instead, in Aria as I recall it your PC was the realm of Bobia.

That's what I thought was different about Aria.

As I recall, it's both. The nations themselves had attributes, could take actions, etc.. And you could or did also have a standard PC.

Quote from: peteramthorThey can take as long as they want on the liscense and never lose it. Owner of Eden and the owner of the company that owns City of Heroes are good friends. They've been friends for many years before either of them owned a company.

I think the point was will anyone care about CoH by the time the rpg comes out.

Yep, that's what I was getting at.

Even if the COH RPG license fee was minimal, if the game is effectively dead by the time the rpg comes out (which may be the case already) then there was no point in licensing it and it would have made more sense to come out with a generic, unlicensed super hero rpg.

And thanks to the continuing clusterfuck that is their dev process, this is actualyl a very real possibility.  

They did so well with CoV, but that dropped off the radar and the devs went back to the usual "lets nerf everything so bad it makes EQ look like a cake walk".
