Looking through both the Origins and GenCon books, I saw no Rage tournaments. Or, for that matter, any Battletech CCG, Dune CCG, or Legend of the Black Sands. Vampire: the Eternal Struggle has apparently been given back to White Wolf, and Doomtown has gone back to AEG. With this announcement, is there any hope for Rage beyond the stellar fan-support of folks like Dances With Shadows?

My apologies for being so quiet on this list, and for taking so long to
give you a straight answer on Rage's future.

Unfortunately, it appears that Rage has no forseeable future.  We have no
plans to continue support for this game, as far as printing cards, or
tournament support.  We will maintain this list.

The letter and goodies I have mentioned on previous posts will be shipping
out this week.  It is not much, especially after all you have been through
with this game, but it is the best I can do.

Thanks for playing and supporting this great game.

I've got a little more info on the "goodies" mentioned here. Wondering what to do with those Teeth you have painstakingly collected, now that the Garou Nation is dissolved?

No problem,

Teeth are redeemable for anything but Rage product, as I am sending all
that product to the Garou Nation players.  Until the end of the year, you
can redeem your teeth for L5R stuff.  The only exception is ghost rock,
which is only redeemable until june 1 of this year.

Curious about the fate of that vaporous planned next expansion, Vegas Edition? Ryan responds:

I am currently looking into the possibility of posting the card frames and
a text spoiler of the set that was never released.  I will let you know as
soon as I find out.
