La malédiction des terres du Milieu en Jdr continue...plus!

[wordack]

Pour ceux qui auraient loupé l'info, Cubicle 7, l'éditeur de The One Ring et Adventures in Middle Earth, vient d'annoncer la fin de son contrat et l'arrêt des publications citées. La 2e édition de The One Ring ne se fera donc pas (ainsi que la sortie du Rohan Region Guide). C'est la 3e licence sur l’œuvre de Tolkien (MERP-JRTM, The LOTR RPG-Le Seigneur des Anneaux le JdR, The One Ring-L'Anneau Unique/Aventures en terres du Milieu) qui part au fond du cratère de l'Orodruin. A croire que Sauron (ou Morgoth) lui-même est derrière tout ceci...
La déclaration de Cubicle 7:
‘I am with you at present,’ said Gandalf, ‘but soon I shall not be. I am not coming to the Shire.’

We have some very unfortunate and unexpected news to share. Contractual differences arose recently which we have been unable to resolve, and so we have decided to end our licensing agreement with Sophisticated Games. It is with regret that we have made this very tough decision to withdraw.

This means we will cease publishing The One Ring and Adventures in Middle-earth in the first half of 2020. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give us enough time to release the much-anticipated The One Ring – The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game second edition. As many of you know, our first edition of The One Ring is eight years old, and we had high hopes of a full product line to support our second edition. Our team have worked incredibly hard on this new edition; with many of the announced titles already written and edited, so being very close to completion makes this decision even harder.

We fully appreciate how invested so many of you are, both in regards to stock and your love of the game. Especially those who have followed our journey from first edition, or have customers who have pre-ordered the second edition or Rohan Region Guide. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

We will continue selling our existing stock over the next few months. We will be offering some discounts on our website for consumers as part of our Black Friday sale this week. We will not be reprinting any of these titles, so if you wish to stock up, we would suggest you contact your preferred distributor soon.

Bonne nouvelle : la licence n'est pas morte et reprise par l'éditeur suédois Free League (Fria liga) en maintenant les 2 JdR que sont The One Ring et Adventure in Middle-Earth.
