Equally, having the sort of deep crossover we've had with Cwej: The Series is also something I'd have never planned for or expected. But it's also worked. And it's brought WARSONG to a new audience, with Sang Mi and Chris about to have some amazing upcoming adventures.

It's weird, if we hadn't had the limitations and setbacks we had, I wouldn't have even considered making one of most popular series, Academy 27. As a spinoff from WARSONG / The WARS TCG, it's far from what you'd expect from that universe. But it worked. Sometimes limits are blessings in disguise.
