Catalyst Game Labs

Short post today, because my birthday is this week and I was planning to take the week off from posting.

But I thought that this was worth breaking in for.

In short:

Catalyst Game Labs may or may not be in financial trouble. Or, more accurately, they are in trouble but they think they can work their way through it. At least, that's how I read their press release.

I could be wrong, though.

Even though they publish both Board and Role-Playing games, I'm more concerned about their role-playing lines than their boardgames.

It helps that they are the current publishers of four of my favorite games - two classic tabletop properties (Shadowrun and Battletech) and two newer properties (Cthulhutech and Eclipse Phase).

I keep saying this, but I really need to write about Eclipse Phase sometime.

Purple Pawn has an excellent overview here.

Interestingly, they just shipped the new edition of High School Drama.
