{{Publisher Infobox |name = Fantasy Flight Games |logo = [[Image:FFG-Logo-Blue.png|200px]] |year = 1995 |guys = |notable = Twilight Imperium, Dark Heresy |website = }} While the rest of the world laughs at our [[Ameritrash|pathetic Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers crapfest boardgames]], one American company is actually making decent and respectable games. This company is '''Fantasy Flight Games'''. Incorporated in 1995 as Fantasy Flight Publishing, they started out printing graphic novels in a tiny operation. They almost went under a couple of times, until the book publisher decided to wing out a game called [[Twilight Imperium]]. [[Dwarf Fortress|Floodgates]] opened, and the company continually puts out quality materials and [[Board Games]]. Another thing FFG is known for is destroying rainforests, because practically everything they produce that isn't a straight-up [[RPG]] makes extensive use of cardboard tokens and counters for as many gameplay mechanics as possible. They also have a fondness for non-standard specialist [[dice]] which are only useful in the game they came with, by virtue of using a limited set of unevenly distributed symbols instead of numbers. As of 14th November 2014, FFG has been bought out by Asmodee (Source: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/138631-Fantasy-Flight-Games-Acquired-by-European-Asmodee-in-Board-Game-Merger) As of February 2017, FF's [[copyright|license to GW IPs]] expired, and all of the current games will cease to be sold. [[Skub|Depending on who you ask,]] this is either because [[Games Workshop]] wants to whore out their RPG license to everyone the same way they do for video games, or because FFG has the [[Star Wars]] license and anything GW makes is peanuts compared to what the Mouse is giving them. That, or GW [[Butthurt|is jealous that]] [[X-Wing]] [http://spikeybits.com/2016/03/warhammer-dethroned-top-5-miniature-games.html| dethroned 40K as the best-selling miniatures game in North America.] Or maybe because Asmodee is a direct competitor to GW, and having your opponents make money off your licensed products is an incredibly stupid idea. Except it's not, because GW can't make Asmodee go away and having Asmodee sell GW IPs would basically be GW making its competitors promote and introduce people to GW's IPs. They also are known for not proofreading their RPG materials beyond running them through spellcheck. Seriously, these things make English teachers queasy. In Summer 2017 they announced a reprint of the original [[Star Wars RPG]] will be made in 2018, because of course reprinting 30 year old rulebooks gets [[Neckbeards]] salivating. At the same time the generic [[Genesys]] RPG was published, which is based on the [[Star Wars Roleplaying Game]] mechanics. In January of 2020 their entire RPG development team was dismissed, followed by the cancellation of some minor events for their RPGs. As far as anyone knows, they will exclusively be a maker of miniatures and the associated games. ==Product Listing== This list is not necessary complete and exhaustive, and shouldn't be treated as such.
