GoO has gone out of business, alack, alas. They had some fine RPG product out there, some of which I’d played (or even run) once upon a time. Big Eyes, Small Mouth<\/em>, and the whole BESM canon, and the Tri-Stat system beyond it. I did some Supers gaming (all too briefly) using Silver Age Sentinels<\/em>. They published Nobilis, <\/em>too. And, of course, they’d acquired Amber Diceless Roleplaying<\/em> (ADRPG) from Phage, and supposedly had a new version of it under
\ndevelopment.<\/p>\n

BD says<\/a> they had a notice up on their web page, and Wikipedia confirms that<\/a>, and George R.R. Martin<\/a> (whose Game of Thrones<\/em> had been RPGed by GoO) has confirmation, too. but I can’t even get the site to load.<\/p>\n

Amazing how one company has had so much influence on my gaming history. And now … it’s gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
