Atgxtg Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I went to look for the Prince Valiant stuff and I can't find the RPG or supplement listed on Drivethru or at Chaoium's site. Did Prince Valiant go out of print again? Was the license transfered to someone else? 1 Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

We hope to be able to renew it, but in the mean time the Prince Valiant line is unavailable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard S. Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Is there anything new on this? I've been reading the comic for a while and wanted to check out the game, but when I went to the site I discovered it was down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a handful of hard copy rule-books still available over at places like Amazon. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

Richard S. Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Just now, Atgxtg said: There are still a handful of hard copy rule-books still available over at places like Amazon. Yeah, but I don't really want to invest in a hardcover for a game I may never play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to let you know just in case. And there are always used books floating around on eBay. TO give you a little insight into the game, it was really designed as a RPG that could be taught and played in a few minutes as opposed to most RPGs which take time to explain and to generate characters. To put it very simply, Prince Valiant uses a very simple set of game mechanics where you toss coins instead of dice. Generally you toss coins based on stat and/or skill, plus any modifiers. In extended contests (such as combat) the loses subtracts the diffidence from his coin pool for future tosses. Characters earn Fame while adventuring and when they get 1000 points they can improve a skill on their sheet. Yes there is more too it, but that's the basic game mechanics.

Hteph Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Perhaps a bit of info on the product page would be .... professional, just a half empty page and broken links feels a bit ... unorganised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much point in their updating the page until they find out if they still have the rights to distribute it or not. Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

Thing is, they'd really need a whole web-design staff to be able to do those kinds of temporary revisions. Yes, the current situation is lacking; but it's not like this is a free service, they need to pay people do do a professional (and secure) job... or task it internally to someone who then won't be doing other "productive" (relating to currently-salable product) work.

Hteph Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I think, if you have a web-shop, you should update your product pages at least monthly or something. That is a minimum level of maintanance, especially when a whole product line is dropped/suspended/whatever. The webshop has gotten better by leaps and bounds, but it is months and months now that Valiant stumbled into limbo. of course you need dedicated (at least part time) staff for your sales venue, not having it feels .... dangerous.
