Quote:Given the ruckus this original mail triggered, I think a bit of
clarification is in order.
At this point, Zeitgeist has been in negotiations for a renewal for
quite some time. It's been radio silence for a while and it's not
prudent from a business standpoint for anyone to wait around for the
chance that a renewal will come through. In the end, if Zeitgeist is
able to secure a renewal, we'll determine how to proceed from there.
So, from the factual department we have the following:
1. Blackmoor still has the best fans of any campaign setting
2. The Co-publishing agreement between CMP and ZG is expiring in early
2010
3. The future of Blackmoor RPG publication remains uncertain, but ZG
is still pursuing and interested in renewing the license with WotC.
4. Blackmoor is a trademark of WoTC and the majority of the proper
references within the 3rd and 4th Edition are the property of Wizards
of the Coast.
Beyond that Zeitgeist Games would like to express it's thanks to CMP,
the writers of books and episodes and of course, the fans for helping
to keep Dave Arneson's world and legacy alive.
Sincerely,
Zeitgeist Games,Inc,
Dustin Clingman, President
