» FADING SUNS REBORN
(Auckland, New Zealand) February 8, 2007—RedBrick Limited announced
today that they have successfully concluded negotiations with Holistic
Design Inc. for a license to publish English- and German-language
roleplaying products for the Fading Suns universe.
Fading Suns is a science-fiction roleplaying game set in the sixth
millennium, when the stars are beginning to fade. A new Dark Age has
descended on humanity, for the greatest of civilizations has fallen and
even the stars are dying. Now, feudal lords rule the Known Worlds, vying
for power with fanatic priests and scheming guilds. Nobles, priests,
aliens, knights, starships, psychics, lost worlds, and ancient
artifacts—welcome to the universe of Fading Suns!
James Flowers, RedBrick Company Director, said “Everyone at RedBrick
look forward to taking up the reins of the Fading Suns roleplaying game
line, continuing the excellent tradition established by Holistic Design.
As huge fans of the game, we want the best for it. We recognize this
will be a challenging universe to explore, and thank Bill Bridges,
Andrew Greenberg, Chris Wiese, and the rest of the Holistic Design team,
for giving us the opportunity.”
Chris Wiese, Holistic Design Inc. President, said "We at Holistic Design
are very pleased to have the the RedBrick team develop and grow the
Fading Suns Roleplaying Game line. Their top notch crew has the energy
and vision to take the Fading Suns universe to the next level. From what
Redbrick has in the works, the fans can expect great adventures in the
far flung realms of the Fading Suns."
RedBrick’s Fading Suns products will use the Victory Point System
mechanics on which the game line was founded. James Flowers explained,
“ While the demand for d20 products has been strong, we feel our
resources are best spent focusing on the primary system. To that end, we
will be actively working on the long-touted Third Edition of the Fading
Suns game, smoothing out some of the mechanics and bringing previously
published and new products into the line. However, we have a lot to do
and our immediate focus is to get a couple of Second Edition products
that are near completion published first.”
Carsten Damm, RedBrick’s Fading Suns Product Director, said “We're
looking forward to engaging and working with Fading Suns fans, many of
whom have voiced excellent ideas about where the game could go. Our aim
is to tap into this pool of ideas and skills and make the best of it,
keeping as true as possible to Bill Bridge’s original vision.”
RedBrick has assembled a team to work on developing the Fading Suns
property led by Alex Wichert, a published German novelist who has been
immersed in the Fading Suns universe since 1995 and is an active voice
on the Fading Suns forums. As Line Developer for Fading Suns, Alex is
responsible for ensuring continuity between the English- and
German-language editions.
