    Hi folks,
    some of you will probably know already. A friend of mine sent me the link to this topic on the rpg.net forum:
    http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=557c40ba24eeb4f564aa8e63681c7beb&threadid=102252&highlight=Unknown+Armies

    I wonder why nothing has been posted in the “News” section of this web site…

    Cheers,
    Carsten

    It must be stressed that UA is not dead, just dormant.

    Atlas Games will continue to print UA2 and rerelease the old UA books as PDFs.

    Unfortunately sales are too low to continue even with the slow two books-per-year quota.

    Don’t panic, things may change once the slump is out, but nothing new is going to be produced in the current schedule.

    Keep posting here. Maybe it can all come together as a free UA netbook.

    Cheers,

    Chris.

    Well,
    I don’t want to sound too capitalist but I think one way of getting UA back alive is buying the supplements… Problem is that many “mature” gamers – and I think that is what most UA gamers are – simply buy the main book and don’t use supplements as much as, say, younger D&D gamers would. No, I don’t want to start an anti-D&D flame war here. Nothing against D&D: just a fact from my experience…

    Cheers,

    Well avoiding to use money or buy things is not exactly a good way to get rid of capitalism – so no matter how red a persons heart is one can still buy things.

    Personally I think the supplements are great (Ive bought them all), if thats because I had allot of money a while back or because I needed some more material I dont know… I think they where worth it none the less.

    So BUY – BUY – BUY!!! I wanna kepp playing my favorite game and I want to enjoy new books every now and then.

    (as for capitalism, well handle that after during the revolution; “hasta la victoria siempre?”)

    My plan is to buy all of the supplements I can (and I will have most of them shortly, as I just gotted me a decent-payin’ job), and to addict all my friends to the game.

    Besides, I won’t let them read my core rulebook, in the GMish attempt to preserve a sense of mystery, danger, etc., but if they buy the rulebook for themselves, I can hardly say no …
