Hey Team

Does anyone know if Warren Holland, owner of Decipher, knows that his games are still going, 10 years after his company stopped making them?

I know financially we're not doing anything for him, but it may give him some pride knowing that his games have stood the test of time

And does Brad still check in from time to time? Does he know we're still going?

Cheers

Honest

More than like. And a cock head Brother in Law who embezzled him

His company still made some great games, and if I were him, I'd like to know if they were still going

Cheers

Cyrus, who wrote the Ars Technica article about us, tried to get in contact with Decipher and managed to ring up Cindy Thornburg, who is still listed as President of the company. I assume she let Warren know.

Warren Holland would only care if they were still going if he could make money off it. You need better heroes.

Is Decipher still existing?

The website does not seem to have changed for more than a year or so and there is still some kind of a teaser for a game coming out in 2017.

Everything they tried after the big three (ST, SW, LotR) seemed to have failed.


It's a shame.
Decipher made great games.

I wrote to Decipher in 2015 about the Klingon Warlords format. I didn't mention anything about the CC specifically, but I got a reply back signed "Warren Holland" and we got the issue resolved.

So I would be stunned if he wasn't aware at some level that all this is still going.

I do hope The Brad checks in occasionally.

I'm sure Warren is aware. I remember someone (can't remember who offhand) letting me know they messaged Warren on Facebook some time ago letting him know we were still out there, and getting a brief but thankful reply.

As for Brad, he occasionally likes and retweets the CC's tweets, so he's definitely still lurking.

It was me. I sent him a PM on Facebook in February (2017) to let him know World's was in Orlando last year. His reply in April (2017) was "Keep on playing. :) "
