Update!

I have been in contact with Fredrik Malmberg at Paradox to confirm the information regarding Warzone. Fredrik confirms that they have canceled the license for both Warzone and Chronopia. He also writes that they have a plan for both games and that it will be made public shortly.

It's quite sad that this has happened, hopefully they will quickly sort this out so the games can progress and people won't consider them dead again.

Lets hope they quickly post some sort of statement on the forum & places like 'The Miniatures Page (TMP)' that I know quite  lot of us use regularly, so to keep the games running.

Thanks for the info, Coil.

Hang in there, Thom and Co. I know this is hard on everybody, but let's keep Thom in our thoughts during all this. He's one of the good guys and this is a hard road for anyone to walk, especially when weathering personal issues.

For what it's worth, let's let Thom focus on those personal issues first. While we all may be passionate about our games, this is not as important than taking care of what truly matters. The Miniatures Page can wait. The press releases can wait. There is no urgency here. If Paradox has made a decision, it's up to them to announce any changes, not EE. They are the IP holder and they apparently stated Feb 27th, so let's let them make that call.

Until then, let's leave EE be with these kinds of questions/demands. If were ever a fan, thank them for their time. If you never were, go elsewhere. There are many places on the net where you can vent and complain. Right now, this should be a place to support EE during these rough times.

Thanks, Thom for the opportunities. If you need me and the Louisville gang, you need but ask.

I wish Thom all the best, and for a safe, complete, and speedy recovery from whatever is ailing him.

I also wish WZ/Chronopia all the best in whatever home they end up in. It will be very interesting to see where they end up.

Tim -

You prolly had better reason than most others to hold a grudge or gloat. Thanks for being a class act. I hope more people give you the karma you deserve.

I idly wonder of WZ is cursed.  It does have a bad habit of going down the tubes when everything seems to be progressing fairly well.

It is ironic that people who have the means but now the will have sat on this game and the rug is pulled from those who have the will but not the meand due to being overcome by events.

If there is any justice in this, EE's work (and hopefully workers) will be incorporated into whomever takes over.

Is there any plan to release the work you have done for the Mars, Venus, DE and other supplements in a PDF format or something or is that one of those "stand by to see what happens" type situaitons?

I wouldn't count on it, without heavy revision those books are directly tied to the Mutant Chronicles License, and without a license to distribute materials pertaining to the Mutant Chronicles Intellectual property would be a violation of Intellectual property laws.

The writing done for those books, and anything else created, if done by excelsior employees or purchased by Excelsior from freelance creators remains the property of Excelsior entertainment, however without a license to distribute such products the best a company could hope for is that the new licensee will be interested in purchasing what was in development (likely at a significant discount)
