Grombrindal’s Pick: Life after Games Workshop

April 2005·p. 166

THE SHORT VERSION

Steve Jackson fills in the career omitted from the earlier magazine history, moving from telephone games and scratch-off Battlecards to an art gallery and newspaper games coverage. Friendship with Peter Molyneux leads to Lionhead, while renewed ownership and licensing of Fighting Fantasy provides an ongoing creative business rather than the retirement the earlier account appeared to imply.

Necromunda Tribune

The campaign newspaper reports the factories’ reactivation, resulting blackouts and the Enforcers’ embarrassing withdrawal. Sales of the Phantoms’ possessions, alleged gang disbandments and threatening wanted notices turn the finale’s preparations into Underhive gossip, before the publication announces its own closure under pressure from bailiffs.
