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.

It looks like Fantasy Flight Games will be producing WHFR and Dark Heresy...

Well, I'm glad it ain't dead, but FFG only puts out an RPG product once in a millennium. They're nice products and nice looking, but the schedule is killer.

Cool here's to hoping (for the RPG) they keep the same mechanics.  Or if they do change them up do it in such away that conversion from the current to the new is possible.

I'm rather excited about the possibilities FFG generally puts out excellent products and I look forward to seeing what they'll do with the license.  Outside of the RPG it'll be interesting to see what they do with Talisman.  It's pretty much in direct competition with their Runebound game and their upcoming Warcraft Adventures game.  Should be interesting.

The press release indicates that this will be the case:

QuoteFFG will continue production and new-product support
for ... the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay RPG, and the new smash-hit Dark
Heresy RPG.

Their license sounds like it covers a bunch.  Card, board, and rpg for fantasy and 40k plus old games.  They might come up with some cool new stuff based on all the warhammer mythology.  
 
I'm not really into warhammer but, as long as they can keep a decently strong publishing schedule, this could be cool.  FFG has experience but is small enough to care about warhammer sidelines in a way that GW apparently doesn't.

Good stuff.

I'd be intereseted to see whether they'll reprint any of the BI supplements.

A new, jazzed up version of The enemy Within would also be welcome.

Does this mean that we can have continuing arguments over Dark Heresy/WH40k RPGs now as each successive book comes out?

Sweet.

I am heartened by this news but wonder how its all going to work out.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

Hmmm. Do you think warhammer roleplaying might finally be freed from the insane restrictions place upon it by the warpstone tossers?

FFG, needing to out feed their kids and whatnot, surely have an interest in producing crowd pleasing stuff like Space Marines and Assassins.

It's still be saddled with that aweful system though.

I've found that your posts make more sense when I imagine that you're typing this drivel while crying and whining in a high pitched baby voice.

Aww, poor Erik.  And he was so happy when BI dropped the ball, too.  Now he's going to have to get all upset again that someone is enjoying a game that he doesn't.
