Duck:
Die Nachricht an sich ist zwar schon zwei Wochen alt, aber da ich selbst auch gerade erst darauf gestoßen bin, dachte ich, dass es vielleicht den einen oder anderen interessieren könnte:

Margaret Weis Productions zieht sich aus der RPG-Branche zurück. In diesem Zug übernimmt Cam Banks, der bereits an den bisherigen Cortex-Plus-Regelwerken federführend mitgearbeitet hat, die Cortex-Plus-Lizenz mit seinem neu gegründeten Studio "Magic Vacuum". Cam plant, für jedes der Cortex-Plus-Systeme ein Grundregelwerk zu veröffentlichen und via Patreon auch an neuen IPs zu arbeiten. Allerdings wird er sich mit Cortex Plus vor allem nach Feierabend und an den Wochenenden beschäftigen, sodass es durchaus länger dauern kann, bis die geplanten Produkte veröffentlicht werden können.

Die bestehenden Lizenzen (meines Wissens sind das noch Leverage und Firefly) sollen nicht weiter bedient werden und werden irgendwann auslaufen. Allerdings gibt es wohl derzeit keine Informationen, wann das so weit sein wird. Das Cortex Plus Creator Studio hingegen soll als Publikationsmöglichkeit für Community-Content in seiner jetzigen Form bestehen bleiben.

--- Zitat ---Tabletop RPG designer Cam Banks licenses Cortex™ from Margaret Weis Productions, announces new design studio Magic Vacuum

Saint Paul, November 1, 2016 - Margaret Weis Productions (MWP) and Cam Banks are thrilled to announce that Banks has signed an agreement to license the Cortex Plus™ and Cortex Classic™ rule systems.

"I spent the formative period of my game design career working for Margaret, and nobody knows Cortex Plus like I do. I know I can deliver the kind of worlds, stories, and core rules the fans have been asking for since we first published Cortex Plus games at MWP."

--- Zitat ---No more licenses, sorry to say. Those aren't part of the agreement and will expire as all licenses do. My immediate plans are to get working on those foundational documents folks will need in order to create their own community content, and that includes content derived from Smallville's Dramatic Roleplaying iteration of Cortex. I'm also going to be creating original IP through my Patreon and fueling those worlds with Cortex rules via Magic Vacuum so that there are also pre-made RPGs for those who want to see that.

More news when I have it to give you, but thank you all for continuing to be Cortex fans, and for your kind words of support today.

Cheers,
Cam

--- Zitat ---No effect on my day job at Atlas Games, which is a company I love and who is taking very good care of me and my family. This news is part of an effort on my part to stop doing small, whenever-I-can-get-them freelance gigs for projects that may or may not happen, and instead create my own stuff in my after hours and weekends. I'm looking forward to being able to steer things in a positive direction for Cortex fans as I continue to helm all RPG projects at Atlas.

Cheers,
Cam

Inzwischen gibt es Neuigkeiten: Die gesamte Cortex-Classic- und Cortex-Plus-Systemfamilie wird in ein einheitliches System namens "Cortex Prime" überführt. Neben einem SRD und einem Grundregelbuch sollen auch verschiedene Erweiterungen und Settings erscheinen, die diesmal aber nicht auf bestehenden Lizenzen basieren werden. Die Finanzierung soll mit einem Kickstarter gesichert werden, der laut Aussage von Cam Banks nach Ostern starten wird.

--- Zitat ---Cortex Prime is a new, updated, gathered-together edition of the Classic and Plus rules with a whole set of dials, switches, and levers that allow it to be more easily hacked and customized. It is being designed specifically to make creating your own Cortex-powered games, either at home or for sale via the DriveThru community content portal, even easier.

Cortex Prime will consist of an SRD (for those who want to hack), an actual core rulebook (for those who want to just play the game), and numerous sourcebooks and world books to expand the rules and options.

The old labels of Dramatic, Action, and Heroic, as well as Classic and Plus, are all being discarded for this new edition. If you like fixed difficulties a la Classic, they're an option. If you like pathways character creation a la Smallville, that's an option. If you like doom pools a la Marvel, that's an option.

Basically, if you want Cortex to work the way you want it to work while maintaining that same strong spine of polyhedral dice, plot points, and adaptability to genres, Cortex Prime is for you.

Chiarina:
Durchaus interessant! Mal sehen, was dabei herauskommt.

Supersöldner:
in welchen sprachen ist das den so geplant ?

Duck:
Meines Wissens ist zunächst nur eine englische Version geplant. Eine deutsche Übersetzung halte ich für unwahrscheinlich - aber gut, das hätte ich bei The Sprawl oder Kagematsu auch gesagt.
