From Margaret Weis:
Margaret Weis Productions is thrilled to announce a partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products to publish tabletop role-playing products based on Joss Whedon’s fan-favorite television series, Firefly. Initial releases are expected as early as spring of 2013 with print and digital releases based on MWP’s award-winning Cortex system. The adventures of Captain Malcolm Reynolds and the crew of Serenity continue to attract new fans a decade after the television series first aired. Fresh from recent success, MWP’s own crew of seasoned designers and creators of licensed role-playing games, stand ready to develop an all-new series of pick-up-and-play games and game supplements. Based on much-loved characters, stories, and locations, every Firefly RPG product will be designed to be accessible, authentic, and as innovative as fans have come to expect from MWP.
“This project is a dream come true for me. I have been such a long-time fan of Firefly!” says MWP President Margaret Weis. “I look forward to working with my crew to take us all back out into the Black!”
“This partnership is another way that we can give back to the Firefly fans,” said Jeffrey Godsick, President of Fox Consumer Products. “Firefly followers have shown continuous loyalty to the franchise and we want to give them quality products in return.”
