Title: Discworld - Boardgames
Post by: Zarniwoop on 09 June 2015, 13:13:17
Looks like a lot of Discworld IP is changing and means a lot of games are going out of print or never going to see the light of day.. Real shame and probably not the legacy we would have liked, but sadly in these things commercialism wins out over sentiment.

Discworld

Have now returned from our trip to the UK, which is partly an explanation of why we have not posted something earlier on this matter.

It is with great regret that we have to announce that we no longer have the licence to produce Discworld Ankh-Morpork or The Witches. There is no chance of either licence being renewed, nor is there any possibility for the third game in the series to see the light of day. Since Sir Terry’s passing away earlier this year there has been a change in IP management style. I’m sorry to disappoint those fans looking forward to the next game, just one of those things.

Guards! Guards! we salute you…
Four magical years of comments such as “It’s like being in a Discworld story” and “the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off” but sadly 2015 will be the last year we can publish Guards! Guards! A Discworld boardgame.  If you know anyone who has not got a copy, or you feel you may enjoy reading the quotes on the 90 Discworld Character cards included in the game the time for buying is now, before they are all gone…
