Handelabra Buys Sentinel Comics® and Greater Than Games® Brand

Happy April Everyone! You read that right, and it’s not a late April Fool’s Joke - after nearly a year of negotiation, we are happy to announce that Handelabra now owns Sentinel Comics®, including the basis for this game: Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition, as well as the brand Greater Than Games®.

Devastating Aurora

When the Greater Than Games team was mostly dismantled in April 2025, it put the future of this game in question. Yes, we technically still had everything we would need to make Sentinels of the Multiverse 2, and even the first expansion, Rook City Renegades, but what about beyond that? We had been planning a future for Sentinels 2 that would be at least as long as Sentinels 1. Plus - our development process has always been a collaborative one, what were we to do without many of our key collaborators?

Conservation of Energy

While development on Sentinels 2 has never fully stopped, we slowed it way, way down while we considered how to proceed. Among the options were canceling the game entirely, and refunding you all as best we could. But the best option would be if Flat River Group would be willing to sell Sentinels/Greater Than Games to us. You know how we feel about transparency, but this is one of those situations where we really had to be publicly silent - legally and explicitly - until we were confident of the outcome, which we now are.

Aegis of Resurrection

In February 2026, Sentinels 2 development ramped back up, and the game is still expected to ship in calendar 2026.

For you on this campaign, that is the most important information you need to know. But we know that most of you are not just Digital Sentinels fans. So what does this mean for the tabletop?

Greater Than Games - The Brand

Handelabra and Flat River Group have closed a deal that brings all Sentinel Comics properties under the Handelabra umbrella. But in addition, we have purchased the brand “Greater Than Games”.

An important note because we know you will ask - the ONLY games that are a part of this deal are Sentinel Comics related properties:

  • Sentinels of the Multiverse (All Editions)
  • Sentinel Comics RPG
  • Sentinel Tactics (et al)
    • Sentinels Miniatures
  • Galactic Strike Force (yes really, it’s canon!)

Is Handelabra becoming a tabletop publisher?

Handelabra is a Digital Tabletop company. We make Digital Tabletop games. We primarily wanted to buy Sentinel Comics to protect that business, but these are tabletop games to start, and we are not interested in becoming a tabletop publisher. But lucky for us, we know a lot of good people who are good at exactly that type of business…

The Future

April 28th, 2026 is National Super Hero Day in the US**.** For the entire month of April, we’ll be celebrating the future of Sentinel Comics, and by the end of the month – National Super Hero Day – you will have the answers to so many of the questions we know you have about the next movement in the symphony that is “Greater Than Games”.

For your ongoing support and excitement, we remain eternally grateful. We just ask for a little more patience over the coming weeks as we have lots to share, and we can’t wait to embark on the next phase of this journey with you!

-Jaye Handel, President and CEO

My sole interest at this point is the RPG (which is most likely not a profitable part of the IP at this stage) but this is still much better news than anything Flat River Group ever brought us. Content to remain patient and see what the future brings.

Good news from a different direction: On Reddit, Darrell Louder let folks know he got the rights back for some of his games! :smiley:

Been checking. Don’t see anything new yet.

Sorry I wasn’t able to get out here sooner. They posted an official announcement, and Jaye was on their 3pm ET stream this afternoon, answering some questions. I wasn’t able to make it to that, unfortunately, but I’m looking forward to watching it later…

It was a little bit of a nothingburger of an announcement, according to discord. Basically Handelabra is creating a media holding company to manage the IP rights of the Sentinels brand. No real info yet about what that means, we’re supposed to get a few more details next week.

But also, John and Jaye won’t be the ones making the announcement next week. I wonder who could be doing it…

If the announcement comes in the form of a letters Page episode, the excitement I currently lack will rematerialized.

It’s not as much as I would have liked, but I feel like it’s important, as it’s a step in the process. :blush: They have to do this to get to the next step of having a company that then licenses the IP to make the physical games. Just have to get there… :+1:

While I try not to be the kind of person who devises radical prognostication from incidental happenstance, the latest digital one-shot is a reference to a certain Letters Page letter writer, so I have definitely had this thought in the last 24 hours.

I assume this is totally unrelated to the Jigsaw Puzzle, and I just clicked on the latter by accident without realizing it.

New site with some info https://greaterthan.games/
There is a livestream today from 2-6PM Central time too https://www.youtube.com/@GreaterThanGames

Forget the Livestream, we already have the big news. Not only is the FRG snafu officially un-snaffed, putting Christopher and Paul back in charge, but they also have back Matt Kroll and Rae, and presumably that’s just the beginning.

Livestream just started here. Daring choice to open the stream with pitches for upcoming games rather than, say, addressing Adam’s new status as “creative collaborator” rather than management or employee, or perhaps explaining how and when they plan to complete the fulfillment for the SCRPG kickstarter. I wonder how long it will be before they get around to those subjects.

EDIT: About an hour and a half in for some discussion of the RPG KS fulfillment. Usual (if you’d been following the KS page) “there are bottlenecks” stuff (without fessing up to being one himself) from Christopher, and apparently they’ll be pdfs until all books are finished, at which point they’ll be printed and shipped out to backer en masse to save on shipping cost. Sounds like several more years before that mess is resolved, and that’s assuming they can get their old contractors to come back and work on them.
