Congrats to Munchkin and its creators as well as Lisa Stevens for making it to the Hall of Fame. For those reading the thread and thinking that the license for Marvel was pulled from Margaret Weis, they decided rather not to renew (as they seem to do with alot of their
RPG licensed products... which is obviously their right as a business).
the economics of licensing a tie-in product is always something we have to weigh carefully. We brokered an admittedly ambitious license with Marvel. Our first event, CIVIL WAR, was successful and well received, but it didn’t garner the level of sales necessary to sustain the rest of the line. We’ve learned from this and are taking a very different approach with the other licensed properties we’re bringing out to you in the next three years. We believe we created a great game. Those of you that have supported us have been terrific, and we appreciate you. But, unfortunately, we will not be bringing any new product out under the Marvel line.
