A representative of Battlefield Press had this to say recently in the Yahoo! Group:
Im actually doing this deriving it from the material originally put together by LRG with their permission for publication. If anyone wants to contact me privately we can see about getting some assistance (for pay) and we can use this list as they playtest group.
Well, it looks like the rumors were true!
Edit 2/8/17 via Yahoo Group: “The game never saw production and I am going to modify the files to a new game, as a joint venture between myself and Living Room Games. We are stripping out all the Capcom IP and bringing the rest up to date. This project was suppose to happen a couple of years ago, but I lost my wife in 2015 and for over the next year I didnt do anything. I am desperately playing catch up now.”
Edit 2/9/17 via Yahoo Group: “We created a new setting that we are affectionately calling Arena. We basically merged the Streetfighter idea with your traditional fantasy world. The idea is that characters travel to the Arena to make a name for themselves by fighting others. So we replaced the Capcom characters with ones we designed.”
Edit 2/9/17 via Yahoo Group: “We are probably going to do d20/Pathfinder and 5e (which will require some conversion work) version
Truth of the matter is fantasy sales. So if we really want to see a return on the investment, then fantasy is the way to go. Basically we are going to end up with a world that parallels the CapCom worlds, but totally with material we can use.
Thank yall for all the condolences, that means a lot. I only mentioned it to give reason why this project ended up so far behind where I wanted it, because I thought you should know.”
