I'm not entirely comfortable with the fact that Hogshead transferred ownership of the product line to Guardians of Order the last week of November and the GOO website still shows next to no Nobilis presence. Still no Nobilis button on the main page. The downloads page does not include the Nobilis PDF freebies that Hogshead offered. (Hogshead's Nobilis page no longer includes links to the freebies.) Their catch-all Games page has no Nobilis on it. No Nobilis action on the GOO Message Boards. Mark C. MacKinnon's New Year's press release expresses pleasure at acquiring Nobilis and allows that copies have arrived in the warehouse now. But the "Crystal Ball" sections, discussing plans for 2003, list new stuff for just about every GOO product line except Nobilis.

So far I haven't seen an official GOO presence on Nobilist either. I know that the trinity of Borgstrom, Baugh and Wallis still maintain creative control of the line, but it would be reassuring to see at least a token corporate visit.

I'm telling myself this is because the transition happened during the holiday rush. But if there isn't a bigger Nobilis presence on the GOO website by the end of January I will officially start worrying.
