Monkey House Games, publishers of the revived Villains & Vigilantes superhero roleplaying game, have opened up their system for "compatibility licensing".Monkey House co-founder Jack Herman explains on the company forums: "It means other publishers can submit ideas to us and if approved they can release their own material for the Villains and Vigilantes 2.1 game system!
"V&V players have been waiting a long time to see new material for the game in print. Here at Monkey House, Jeff [Dee] and I are making with the words and drawings like crazy and we’ll have an announcement about that pretty soon.
"But in the meantime, we wanted to make our system available for use by other publishers, so they could put out even more material for Villains and Vigilantes players.
"Check it out under the 'licensing tab' if you want the specifics.
"Jeff and I are committed to not only relaunching Villains and Vigilantes but also to ushering in a full blown V&V renaissance; a Villains and Vigilantes millennium!"
Great news. I look forward to grabbing a copy - it's one of those games I always wanted to play when I was a Dragon magazine subscriber.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'll be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I post a new piece of news about the game it makes me realise how slack I'm being in getting down to revitalizing my old campaign :D
I'm also looking forward to your Capes & Criminals piece in NOD(house rules for turning retro-clones into comic book hero-type games).
