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.

Story here and here.

QuoteSmith & Tinker is pleased to announce that it has licensed from Microsoft the electronic entertainment rights for Mr. Weisman's previous creations of MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies and the other properties of the FASA catalog. We're not quite ready to announce our plans for each property, but please be assured that our goal is to surprise and delight old fans, while welcoming new fans to these fantastic worlds.

Which is a big "Huzzah!" Although the FPS Shadowrun game was okay, I'd really like to see a good Shadowrun RPG a la Mass Effect. A cool new BattleTech game would be awesome as well.

I would like to see new ones of each...taking advantage of new technology and finding people who actually care about the license.

Eh.  This is Jordan Weisman we're talking about.  Inside of a month he'll have already sold off the new company to someone else.
