Better Safe Than Sorry: Odyssey Prime

[Steven Trustrum]

Misfit Studios has operated under license from Eden Studios to use the latter's Unisystem rules in its Odyssey Prime product line for the past two years. Today was the last day for Eden Studios to renew that license without causing a disruption. As of this release, Misfit Studios remains unable to get in contact with the necessary parties at Eden to resolve the issue.

What does this mean for you? It means that even if Misfit Studios gets a call next week (for example) saying to go ahead and renew the license, it can't sell any product with Unisystem rules in it between tomorrow and then. This means that today could quite possibly be the last day to purchase Odyssey Prime (and it might not be, we just don't know!)

Misfit Studios understands this is inconvenient to customers who may have been hoping to pick up Odyssey Prime down the road when their gaming budget allowed, or the like, but these events are beyond Misfit Studios' control.

I posted over on the Eden boards, but this is a shame. I hope the issue can be ultimately resolved. I really like the game and would hate to see all the hard work and future plans for the product go to waste.

The Unisystem has now lapsed, but I'm hopeful for some sort of renewal in the future, but I don't know fully yet to what extent that may be.

If we are unable to continue putting out Unisystem Odyssey Prime products, Christina and I will evaluate other possibilities for what we can do to keep the game alive. To keep the core book available, though, that would require a version 2 release sans Unisystem.

The good news is a six month extension came in the email today, so Odyssey Prime will be on sale for at least that much longer.

Hm, well I can hope for the best then.

I'd sent George and Alex an email 'bout immediately after you posted over on the Eden boards.

If nothing else I'll have to buy it and convert it all myself and post the conversions sans explanation on the boards...other folks will still have to buy it to use the conversions.

So you'd still be getting sales from me regardless on future material.

Still, I'd rather see the material still in there.

Fingers crossed.

I'd finally managed to get in touch with George and was talking with him on the phone when your email reached him.

[DanielRDavis]

heh! That is pretty funny.

Hopefully he wasn't like "there's Dan again bothering me about something."
