Maybe you were just not ready to carry the target on your back that comes with being a champion. Or maybe you were simply betrayed.

Clownkeep has update its website with the news that The Chronicles of Ny, its multi-episodic fantasy RPG, has been cancelled. Every episode was about 10-15 hours game time with a sprawling story that took place in a frontier province of the Great Kingdom of Ny, and was going to entertain, thrill and leave the player excited about upcoming episodes, allowing you to continue the character you had developed. Reason for the cancellation was rather vague : "there comes a point when life comes at you hard... and despite your passions, you have to get your priorities straight."
