In der Pressemitteilung heißt es im Detail:

Silver Spring, Maryland (February 24, 2010) – Alliance Game Distributors and Evil Hat Productions are proud to announce that they will be teaming up to bring The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game to adventure-hobby retailers in June, 2010!

The Dresden Files RPG is based upon the wildly popular series of books by New York Times best selling author Jim Butcher. With eleven books published in the series, and Changes, the 12th book set to release on April 6, 2010, the Evil Hat crew had a wealth of characters and plot to draw from.

“We are delighted that Evil Hat will be expanding its existing distribution network to include Alliance,” said Mike Webb, VP of Marketing and Customer Service for Alliance Game Distributors. “Evil Hat has a well deserved reputation for putting out some of the finest in independent roleplaying products. And from the previews we have seen, The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game hits on all cylinders with the industry. Jim Butcher’s vision and characters are a wonderful modern take on fantasy noir. Combining Butcher’s world with Evil Hat’s gamecraft is a winning combination!”

“When it came time for us to decide if we were going into distribution, there wasn’t any question about who we’d want in our corner,” said Fred Hicks, Co-President of Evil Hat Productions. “The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game is the first game we’ve done on this kind of scale. Partnering with Alliance to get the game into retail stores everywhere is a straight-up no-brainer. Their track record speaks for itself!”

In addition to the Dresden Files RPG, Alliance will also be offering Evil Hat’s backlist of products – including the award-winning Spirit of the Century RPG, based on the Fate game system—the same engine which drives the ruleset for Dresden Files!

The Dresden Files RPG: Volume 1 – Your Story [EHP3001] and The Dresden Files RPG: Volume 2 – Our World [EHP3002] will make their first appearance at the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio June 23, 2010.
