Merge/Rewrite first paragraph[[edit source]]

Could someone ask Obverse if this is a rebranding/shift in focus of the FP line or its own thing? The post is written as if it's its own thing, but prima facie the only book we've seen from the line seems to me to be in FP's wheelhouse, as it where.

If the former is how we interpret the line, I'm not quite sure what precedent is for something like this. I know for a company it would be to rename the first page rather than have two separate pages. (I had a headache over this during the TLV stuff.) But if we are going to treat them separately, I don't think the paragraph at the beginning explicitly linking the series to the FP series is correct. Set in the same account of the DW universe, but not subsumed in the FP series. Najawin 07:13, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Glad to have another set of eyes on this. I agree that it's unclear. To me it comes down to the logos, and The Boulevard: Volume One is very specifically Faction Paradox: Worlds of the Spiral Politic. That indicates Worlds of the Spiral Politic is a sub-series of Faction Paradox, in the same way that (to use a regrettable example) Hellscape is. For what it's worth, my behind-the-scenes maybe-incorrect understanding is that Obverse intends to continue releasing Faction Paradox books separate from the Worlds of the Spiral Politic range, so either way, a straightforward renaming it ain't. – n8 () 13:06, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
