SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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 think it's the "Holy Grail" part. And the mystery. If they'd announced that they were doing a licensed product and basically what said product was, but were having trouble getting it to market, people wouldn't have blinked. But when it's the "Holy Grail" you can't get to market...

As Angus said before we learned a lot of lessons from Doctor Who.
This time were taking a different approach as you say.
Currently doing nothing.

I'm a'scared. I don't like it when RPG companies produce games from licensed IPs. It tends to turn out badly for the company...

This.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

I do know what the license is and I will now spill the beans.

It's the Official Poke Pat Robertson In The Eye With A Sharp Stick Roleplaying Game!

Oooooo!  Star Trek!  And it'll be as pretty as the Dr. Who set too!
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.

That would be cool now that the franchise has been somewhat cleansed.
 
But can we allow foreigners to work on it?

We'll offer an exchange.  The Brits get to do Star Trek if the BBC agrees to cast an American as the 12th Doctor. :)

!i!

Of course!  IDIC and all of that.

it's a licenced fantasy game not scifi so not sure star trek works plus the rights would probably be way outta most rpg companies price ranges.

When does Conan come up for grabs?

I thought that Mongoose is losing the license. A Fate-powered version might stir-up some flames on the internet as predicted and Conan has also been a movie, a comic, a video game and a television show (if you count cartoons).

I missed that one and it looks like I should be glad I did.
