Thinking about it, there is little chance that they didn't consider these already. Usually when a company dicontinues a project, their's a meeting or two or ten that take place to try and save it.

Probably so, but when those decisions were made, was LRG aware that fans might consider investing in the project to keep it moving? A few bucks can mean the difference between publishing the book in some form or another, and letting it rot in the vault until it's nothing but a worthless curiosity.

As I understand it, the deal with Capcom grants LRG the rights to produce the CWT d20 game. Would that interfere with other companies securing non-d20 deals? If not, and LRG isn't going to finish CWT any time soon, we might as well look for some other company to satisfy our SF RPG desires, right?

reading all the posts on here, im amazed that so many people are more willing to shell out a bunch of money to try to save the current incarnation of this project instead of trying to develope their own version or look for a cheap alternative.

I dont mean that to be an insult to anyone who wants to save this project mind you, i just think their are more practical ways to go about this whole SF rpg thing.

I know, it is surprising, isn't it? But if you look at it this way, the prize is right there on the other side of that velvet rope behind that glass case (move along, please...) All done, all neat and tidy. (Already have a plan to liberate it, too...Digital Burn style....)

Create my own version? Sure, done it already while I was waiting for this one. Used the class/level listing in the packet and extrapolated a bit of my own from other sources for psionics/bionics/ch'i magic/what have you. Maybe someday I'll post the pictures I took at last Sunday's demo I did at my FLGS, may not be a perfect polished game system but I know it by heart now (like I know Runequest/Champions/d20/Warhammer40K/few-other-less-well-known-games by heart).
Will I post/share my version? Probably not, maybe to my few fellow locals but not to the general public. I'm a nobody gamer, faceless player you'd skip over at a con, but an ardent supporter of someone who would put the time and effort into creating a package of a system I'd like. But that's just me...

Gad, I'm such an over-forty gamer geek...
I'll keep ghostin' in now and again to look for this packet the Emporer has promised us and any future release info but this is probably my last post. Anyone can feel free however to PM or email me, I'll always jaw with someone...
Peace.
Out.

I'm only interested in CWT because I assume that the character stats are in some way approved by Capcom, and therefore as accurate as can be. How many times have you wanted stats for a SF character that you weren't 100% familiar with, only to discover a dozen different fan write-ups on the internet? How do you know which one is best? That's why I'm so gung-ho about this going forward, either here or at some other company, because of my presumption that it'll be well-researched and official.

I was only really interested in it for the game mechanics. Any Capcom stats would've just been whipped cream and a cherry.

The upcoming refurbished Dragonfist game by Green Ronin may fulfill any of the gaming needs I had. If not, I can always fall back on their M&M system.

I don't suppose there is a possibility of Capcom buying the completed work from you and actually owning the entire enchilada? I mean, even though it would mean Living Room Games would be technically just hired help, I'm sure Capcom has the funds to make it happen. LRG makes the game, does the work and gets paid for it, and gets credit within the pages, Capcom gets ownership of the work once it's completed and continued promotion of their fighting games, and the fans actually get to see what they've waited so long for?

Well, it sounded good to me, anyways.
