Am I the only one sad Cortex is dying?

Discussion

Good day or night to everyone! I just wanted to express my concern and sadness that this amazing, modular system is becoming forgotten. I have made amazing settings and games with the system, but it feels like using an old, barely remembered system. Cortex has the potential to run every single genre in the fantasy or fiction scene of TTRPGs, but it's really underrated. Tools are scarce, at least for things like the core Cortex system. Tales of Xadia has amazing tools, and I only wish it were like that with the Cortex core system.

I even tried making my own tools, but I honestly lack the skills to do something presentable. I really wish this system doesn't completely vanish and that it resur

Sudden popularity

Discussion

I noticed that Cortex Prime is now trending title on Drive Through RPG. I recently got interested in it and suddenly it gets popular (I thought it is dead system)

What's the reason? Is it some new edition?

What Happened to the production of this game?

Discussion

This system is super cool to me. The way the dice pools work and the balance between crunch and roleplay focus hits a real sweet spot to me (though I haven't run a game yet) I'm so confused about what happened to any of the production of the game. There was a ton of products and materials coming out about three years ago and then the whole system dropped off the map. It's so unique, interesting, and well suited for a GM like myself, but comparing to savage worlds and PEGinc, who are constantly releasing new stuff it seems. It's honestly a bit discouraging to have a newly released setting agnostic system like this falling to the wayside.
