[Groop] Groo game reprint / Groo Munchkin

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!

Sorry Sean, I forgot about responding to this one.

Steve Jackson made a an effort to reprint the Groo game a number of years ago.  He bought the rights to the mechanics of the game from the Archangel guy (I have forgotten his name) and he wanted to work out a deal with Sergio for the art and use of Groo characters.  There were a variety of problems, mostly communications, plus the location of/who had the scans of the art work, and so it all fell through.  So I'm afraid the Groo Game will almost certainly never be reproduced. I think at one point Steve Jackson e-mailed me that he had decided to use the mechanics for another game.  In short, it would take Chakaal-like heroics to undo an very Groo-ish situation.  

I know nothing about Munchkin.  But if Steve Jackson wanted to do a Groo version, he should contact Sergio.  He could contact him personally if he's going to be at the Con.

  Trying this post again... Gary? ME? Any Answers?


  A couple years ago I heard that Steve Jackson Games wanted to reprint the Groo game (by archangel studios http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/194/groo-the-game). What ever happened to this? There was also buzz (heard SJ Games asked about licensing Groo) about a possible Groo Munchkin card game (fits the original games intent perfectly http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1927/munchkin). Steve Jackson Games has already done Conan, Axe Cop, The Guild, Penny Arcade, and SkullKickers (Pathfinder soon). Any possiblity of either of these things happening? Mark?
