Status of 'Chronicles of the New Watchers'

[Kate Beaman-Martinez]

It is with great sadness that I announce the end of CotNW.  I would like to personally thank each of you for the time, energy and support you put into this project; the decision to retire the campaign has nothing to do with our wonderful volunteers. 

Honestly, the campaign was taking more time than I have to put into it and it was entirely dominating my attention onsite at conventions.  Every one of you added something to the campaign and helped me out above and beyond my grandest expectations, but it just wasn't enough to keep things moving.  I've had to look at the atmosphere around us and accept that without Eden Studios publishing additional supplements, support for the system is going to dwindle, and instead of a growing base of rabid fans, we were very likely to end up with a small, tightly knit group of devoted followers.  As nice as that would be, if I had the spare time to support it, I can't justify the drain on my resources.

I apologize for not announcing the decision sooner - it was a difficult one to reach, and I know you each understand how excited I was by the project.  Your enthusiasm was part of that excitement and I'm sad, anticipating your disappointment over the end of the campaign.

Anybody who would like to run the existing modules, would like to use the setting for their own home games, and would like stats for various NPCs can contact me directly.  I will gladly provide them for you.

Again, thank you for all of your support.
