Re: Arrgh! White Wolf köper Pendragon
White Wolf's dotterföretag ArtHouse (som blir de som ger ut Pendragon) skriver i sin pressrelease:
"It's with great pride that we become the publisher of Pendragon. This game is not only the first roleplaying game that emphatically stressed story over game mechanics, but the game mechanics themselves are so artfully
designed that they actually add to the story and character development rather than detract," said Stewart Wieck of ArtHaus, which is a close publishing partner of White Wolf Publishing. "We're want above all for Pendragon to remain true to its artistic roots, but because of our position in the industry, we'll allow even more gamers the opportunity to see and play this great game."
One of the most admired and enduring pen-and-paper roleplaying games of the last thirty years, Pendragon allows players to take on the role of knights at King Arthur's court. Originally developed by award-winning game designer Greg Stafford, Pendragon has been widely hailed for its trend-setting emphasis on morality and moving beyond the "slay the monster" archetype that once dominated fantasy roleplaying. "
Och som svar på en direkt fråga (på RPG.net) skriver Stewart Wieck:
"... don't worry, for the new edition we *will* keep the current mechanics. We'll likely tweak them a bit to balance a few unruly mechanics, but these are the game mechanics that showed me how a game system can actually accentuate a story instead of get in its way, so they'll definitely remain."
Det verkar nästan som om vi kan andas ut.
