OP Myrthos addict Joined: Mar 2003 Location: Netherlands	Leo Zullo and Terry Malham, both former CDV employees, have founded their own publishing company Digital jesters. They will be publishing Riftrunner in the UK. I don't know Terry, but I know Leo and I really wish him a lot of luck with this one and that both the company and Riftrunner becomes a success. See me @ The Locus Inn & RPGWatch

OP Myrthos addict Joined: Mar 2003 Location: Netherlands	I don't know what the difference is in version, but as to the alarm bells: I think even Lar likes Leo. So I don't belief the 'former CDV' label doesn't mean anything negative in this case, rather the opposite. See me @ The Locus Inn & RPGWatch

DAD old hand Joined: Jun 2003	This is an interesting situation. The fact that Leo Zullo and Terry Malham are Former CDV employees can tell us something very important. This important thing is that they left CVD for a reason. It is improbable that that reason is that they agree with all CDV decisions. In simple words, they are renegades, and in business, this should mean that something happened that motivated them to take this decision and leave. A picture begins to materialise from the background noise informing us that they were not satisfied with what CDV did regarding L. S. and that they believe that L. S. have potential in the market. That is why they signed up for <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> distribution knowing that it was a winning move. Or at least I hope that this is the true picture. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

CDV have made a lot of enemies. You should see how much flaming of them there is on the official CDV board. CDV games are being cancelled and jeapordised all over the place.

Id wether wait a year or so and get a good game then some sub par piece. 8. You guys are very much like ea, you produce games that lack quality of any kind, and expect people to buy because of the brand. Just a few points, and im done ranting for the moment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Setharmon~ >>[halfelven]<<

Or German versions. Although we don't go "shopping" in Germany that much anymore. ~Setharmon~ >>[halfelven]<<

The UK office of CDV was shut down, so they lost their job. As they did make a nice turnover during the time they worked for CDV, it was only a small step to start for themselves.

There are a number of instances of removing posts and warning and banning users. There are some very offensive people on those forums who don't seem to understand the concept of civilised conversation. I'm surprised they didn't get one guy for his avatar: A close up of punching an Aboriginal in the face. It was clearly a racial slur.

Also, they made to me the impression of non-adults. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> (I'm speaking of the German CDV Boards.)
