Since Rogers Cadenhead broke the story... workbench.cadenhead.org/news/3…
Yes, it's true. There's been a ruling in the legal battle over the V&V rights, and that ruling is very strongly in our favor as the original creators of the game.
Jack Herman and I have not yet issued any official statement about the ruling, because the other side has filed an appeal. We'll have an official statement when it's really and truly a done deal.

Villains and Vigilantes Legal Battle
I was the co-creator of the classic 1979 superhero tabletop role-playing game, Villains and Vigilantes. Jack Herman and I started MHG in 2010 when we learned that our game's original publisher, FGU Inc., had ceased to exist in 1991 and that the publishing rights to V&V reverted to us at that time.
