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.

The cup of a carpenter? Surely you jest.

Mongoose acquires Eternal Champion license

Is this the holy grail we talked about? Unless Moorcock starts writing adventures for them, I don't think so...

If they carry on like this, they're soon going to acquire the license to acquire licenses.

No, it's not the 'holy grail'. Sprange has stated such quite clearly.

Yeah, WEG, chasing too many liscences is often deadly to a game company.

In the mid-90s, WEG was chasing licenses like a hondog fulla Spanish Fly.

It...sorta...didn't...pay off.

But WEG was so ultimately cool back in the day.

Star Wars, Ghostbusters AND Indiana Jones.

It doesn´t get more awesome than this.

No. Mongoose had previously disclosed the Eternal Champion negotiations, so this isn't the Holy Grail.

They landed the Indy license in the mid-90s, but you're right -- the other two are gold.

Incidentally, they're the first 3 RPGs I ever purchased -- in that order!  (Although the Indy one was the TSR one.)

Perhaps their "Holy Grail" is the Traveller 5 core rules, which I've heard they might be publishing for Far Future (only the core rules, mind).

For shame.  d6 Star Wars is pure awesome.  go hunt yourself up a Revised and Expanded corebook.  The shiny one, with the Millenium Falcon on the cover.
