Games Workshop and Fantasy Flight end relationship

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/9/9/a-new-path-forward/

Fantasy Flight and Games Workshop have ended their business partnership.

There will be no more new releases, no new games or expansions to current games (including both board games and RPG systems) and all current releases will stop selling (and no longer have company support) as of the end of February 2017.
So that covers Talisma, Dark Heresy, Deathwatch, Chaos in the Old World, etc.

Quite sad. I actually thought the FF RPG systems were pretty damn good.

Not that it wasn't coming a long time though. Games Workshop has been pushing more into its own board games, and Fantasy Flught has even started releasing its own snamll scale tabletop wargames (which as I understand it was a breach of the partnership agreement that GW weren't happy with anyway).

Still a damn shame.

Excuse my ignorance, what is an FF RPG?

Fantasy Flight (the games company) Role Playing Game (type of game).

lol alright sorry, so it's like a DnD style pen & paper type of thing? Sorry for silly questions.

Yes, indeed it is.
Fantasy Flight produced Dark Heresy, Detahwatch, Rogue Trader, Only War, Black Crusades, and Dark Heresy 2nd Edition, all quite excellent tabletop pen and paper roleplaying games.

I wish GW would have commisioned them to make their Death From The Skies game. Or even BFG.

I was hoping in vain that GW would outsource their 40k rules to FFG.

Though having seen that they've used dials for their skirmish miniature game, it's probably best that that won't come to fruition.
