Asmodee stops the edition of Hell Dorado.

[BlasterBonatti]

Oh Great Saviour, we implore you, make yourself known so that we may throw gifts of gratitude at your feet and tell you how great you are and stuff.

[Silveri]

Yes, Oh Great Savior, we may even be persuaded to purchase the end products.

[Taegmar]

This is great news to hear. I'm hoping that unlike Rackham's many mistakes, the new buyer will not be turning away, but rather he will be taking in with open arms other representative groups who are willing to push forward this great game, much like the UKCORD has been trying to do in the UK.

Please let it be! I am really looking forward to copious amounts more from this system.

Oh god, I hope this isn't related...

I don't think it is. The buyer manufactures miniatures, but the hints have more pointed to a single person instead of a known miniature company.

[Rho]

This is most unlikely it would have anything to do with PP and besides PP announced something for the product 'warmachine' and HD just doesn't fit at all in there (and knowing the casts of PP miniatures I'd be worried ...). I think "AsmoNico" mentioned that a product such as HD can be profitable for a small scale company - something such as Dark Sword Miniatures would seem much more likely to me (high quality casts and sculpts, rather realistic sculpts, some miniatures more for an 'adult' audiance). But well.. guessing won't help much - hopefully we'll know soon more.

[AndrewGPaul]

The "next big thing" is likely to be the Retribution - IIRC, the minis and the book will go on sale then.

Also, why on earth would PP buy Hell Dorado? What possible reason would there be for them to have two competing product lines?

[Bork]

barring that it's just not their style either. no i'd bet my life PP have nothing to do with this.

[Dennis]

Yeah I am pretty sure is not related. 

But it does send shivers down your spine doesn't it.  ... the timing, the secrecy, the american...

[Silveri]

Note that they have been talking about an american, it could thus also be a canadian (french connection!) or something south from the mexican border. 

Yes, HD has been sold to Cuba!

And it's just been confirmed, the 1635 version of the cards should be coming shortly.
OK, it's Asmodee shortly which can take a little while, but it's good new anyway 

[mathieu]

And it's just been confirmed, the 1635 version of the cards should be coming shortly.

It's been confirmed that they should come shortly after (after the latest French version? I'm only guessing as this detail isn't specified). That could make a bit of a difference.

I kinda hope to see or hear about good news at gencon.

[Corto]

We should get the pdfs shortly. They are on the site in French, and they should be provided in English soon. Then for the actual print of the cards, I guess whoever is taking over should do them at the same time as the book, it would make sense as a combined offer.

[Bork]

i think it's vital to get the english cards out ASAP. english rules and english cards arriving at the same time could kick start this game back to life overnight.

i eagerly await both myself.

[Silveri]

Well, hopefully the aforementioned Mysterious American Savior Person Thingy follows the english area of these forums. Of course the US market differs somewhat from the UK and European markets, but the people here do have previous experience of following the antics of "that other french miniatures company" and thus can haphazard a good guess on what could work and what most probably will not - and best of all, free of charge!
