Steve Jackson Games has announced that it will be publishing a Girl Genius RPG in 2005, based on the romantic adventure comic series from Studio Foglio.

 

The Girl Genius RPG will be written by Kaja Foglio, with art by Phil and Kaja Foglio.  This self-contained hardcover gamebook, with color illustrations, will use the Fourth Edition GURPS rules and be set in the steampunk world of Transylvania Polygnostic.

 

Based on the continuing comic book series by the Foglios, the Girl Genius RPG will join a trade paperback collection and the strategy card game, Girl Genius:  The Works, from Cheapass Games (with rumors of another in development) to form a growing line of licensed products.

 

The Girl Genius comics, licensed to WizKids last year (see 'WizKids Forms Publishing Division'), will now once again be published by Studio Foglio (see 'WizKids Scales Down Publishing').
