[BNW] An Announcment

[MForbeck@aol.com]

Hi All: 

Well, I'm back from the GAMA Trade Show, and the news for BNW isn't good. The 
first prospective publisher for BNW wasn't able to find full funding and has 
had to pass on the property for now. In the meantime, the second prospective 
publisher landed a hot new license and therefore doesn't have the resources 
to devote to BNW as well. 

I'm not yet sure what this means for BNW. AEG owns the game, so it's really 
up to them in the end. I'm currently in the middle of a large crush of 
writing things for release this summer from other companies. Once I get 
through with that, I'll be exploring different options, although again, it's 
not entirely up to me what happens. 

At the very least, I hope to be able to do something with the Crossroads 
concept within the year. I'd rather not end up publishing it myself, since 
setting up a company to do so for a single book doesn't seem like the best 
way to keep food on my family's table. Still, it may come to that in the end. 

I'd like to thank you each personally for the kind words and support you've 
shown the game over the past two years. I really couldn't ask for better 
fans. 

Take care, 

Matt Forbeck
