So, despite being bedridden from pneumonia, I am on the mend, only to hear about the announcement on Tuesday. I've been thinking about ways we can hit back as a community, and its when I saw that Sam Witwer himself mentioned it on twitter that I thought of organizing our fan community to try and save the game. Can anyone think of constructive ways that we can generate a write in campaign or appeal to Asmodee? Maybe getting Disney to appeal on our behalf as license holders that they continue to at least provide supplements? Maybe appeal to the high profile players of the game like Sam to help and mobilize the larger Star Wars fan base?

As it stands, due to the success of Legion and X-Wing, it's unlikely that Asmodee would let the license go, and since the RPG license is bundled with the miniature one, we are effectively looking at the RPG being dead while they continue on with the miniatures. This means there will be no other company to produce the game (I doubt they have authorization to outsource the license).

Any ideas?

First, glad you're feeling better, pneumonia can be horrible.

Second, I don't have any definitive ideas at the moment, but will try and look at some options when I get a chance.

Either way, I'll try and support any way I'm able.

Thanks, Jareth! It's actually something I hadn't intended to mention, but I realized being late to respond (and still not 100% thinking clearly) it was easiest to explain why I took so long to act. I actually had to remind myself I saw it, I thought it was part of a fever dream at first. Then I cried a little, then I got angry. When you're the up where I am in age with respiratory issues already, pneumonia starts getting pretty scary.

Wasn't necessary, no, but glad you did. Now you've got extra positive energy headed your way (in whatever form you find appropriate; prayers, 'get well' thoughts, etc.). 😁

And I understand respiratory issues, my wife has had them the entire time we've been together (near 30 years now).

As for your OP, it'll be, at the earliest, tomorrow before I can even think about anything, but if something comes up I'll post a soon as I am able.

Just for reference.

The Legends of the Galaxy community is already doing an email campaign to write Asmodee.

I want the campaign to still be positive as we don’t want to harm our relationship but support the RPG positively at the same token.

Also I think as a form of flattery on LegendsoftheGalaxy.com we should band together and create and share content to show Asmodee our love and support each other with fan made content. Show them the communities thirst for new content.

Send Asmodee customer service a letter explaining how you feel and showing your support for the product and the team behind it. Here's a copy of mine:

Good day,

Does anyone have a good email to send it to? I would like to make sure it gets to the right place.

Thanks,
