It should be mentioned that Chaosium has been steadily releasing reprints of older Call of Cthulhu material since the d20 version's release, in addition to the GM's pack.
These have been low-key...
My impression is that they will continue to support the d20 Cthulhu stuff, but future development will be towards their BRP house system.
Chaosium hasn't shut down this book - it's just very late.
The Conan RPG is tremendously well-written, but sadly, when it was changed from being a d20 game to being an OGL title, a lot of material was added from the OGL SRD without modification (or even,...
You left off Jamie Summers.
In the case of the LotR line, additional books are required to fill the holes left by the initial license, such as the unusable mass combat system which is supposedly getting fixed in the Helms Deep...
Didn't mean to get too argumentative or hair-splitting with you, Doug.
It's just that the RPG line has been treated as Decipher's red-headed stepchild (or worse), and it's hard to treat a...
I would agree with you, but for two points:
- the CCG aspects of Decipher's website were updated with lightning speed, often daily (or, on occasion, more than once daily).
- to date, the Powers...
It's still here:

and to this date, I haven't seen anything official about the product's cancellation other than hearing from it from Jeff...
I get the impression from people like Matt Colville that the licensors really don't care what happens with Decipher and a release schedule so long as it doesn't make the properties look bad, or...
I'm not filled with confidence here - a customer service rep e-mail to a fan isn't what I'd call official word, and since they've been inexcusably late (or failed) with ever other activity they've...
I don't know - the ones I referred to were for the LotR RPG.
There was no delay with the L.A.'s office getting things done on schedule and on time. They had at least 8 sourcebooks finished and in various stages of production when the office was shut down.

Two points:
Until I had heard about Mongoose's game, I was working on a CODA port for the Hyborian Age of Conan, but didn't get very far on it.
Fashion in the Hyborian Age of REH was a lot...
On rpg.net, Matt Colville spoke about the Dune d20 adaptation - my impression was that it was mostly done, as well as an Arrakis campaign.
Alatar and Pallando were also both Blue Wizards, though it is unknown if there was a distinction between their colors - like sea-blue and sky-blue, for example.
I think Umli were specifically for MERP.
The half-Dwarves mentioned by Tolkien were called "petty Dwarves", but little detail is mentioned of them.
Matt Colville mentioned on rpg.net that Decipher had been shopping the rights to subcontract the LotR RPG out when he was studio head, which was months before the studio closure, so this would...
Though I'm extremely upset at seeing the RPG guys go, I think this is what will likely happen.
As a comparison, WotC recently did an almost identical thing - laying off a great number of their...
Ah - he wasn't very clear on whether or not he had taken the offer, and his insistence that the lines aren't dead made me assume that he would continue working on them.
Thanks for the...
Jeff Tidball just posted this on rpg.net:

which doesn't bode well for the future of the RPG line...
I get the Georgia font on my browser and when pasting into Word.
Since I have Garamond on all systems, I think the style set is set to Georgia, otherwise I would see Garamond there.
You might have better luck if you try earlier in the day - rather than at the evening when the bandwidth limits have already been exceeded.
There really isn't a protocol for this stuff - Matt commented that they were shopping it around to outsource it - not an outright sale. I think in this case, they'd stick with the actual CODA system...
