the publishing arm of <a class="reference external" href="http://www.gamesworkshop.com/">Games Workshop</a>, <a class="reference external" href="http://www.blacklibrary.com/news.html?id=436&offset=0">announced</a> that they
were launching a new imprint, <a class="reference external" href="http://www.blackindustries.com/">Black Industries</a>, to publish roleplaying games,

favorite fantasy roleplaying games for its combination of interesting
if quirky system and excellent setting and adventures. I'm looking
forward to the new edition.</p>
