Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

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.

I just listened to an interview of Fabrice Lamidey on Scepticisme Scientifique (sorry, it's a podcast in French). Lamidey is one of the original game designers of Nephilim who, like many others, has since been lured by the gazillions mega bucks budgets of the video game industry. I'm not sure why a podcast about scientific skepticism would get interested in TTRPG... I guess Lamidey explaining the challenge of building a coherent game setting out of esoteric/occult lore demonstrates indirectly how asinine secret magical conspiracies are.

Anyway, the nice scoop amid the memories about designing the original game, Multisim and bankrupt French RPG publishers, is that the IP owners think it's time to resurrect Nephilim and they licensed Bibliotheque Interdite to create a new edition. The objective is a newbie friendly version of the game (without the dozen layers of intrigues and meta-plots scattered in a couple dozen supplements). They also mentioned using the license in video game(s?)

Hunh.  So someone does still hold the IP rights to Nephilim.  Information has been very sparse here on the English-speaking end of things.  I'd be interested to see what Chaosium's opinion is about their continuing association with the game line.

!i!

I wish they disclosed a few more details. For instance I have no idea what rule system it will use.
