Chill was possibly Pacesetter's most well-known product.[2] It was subsequently republished in revised form by Mayfair Games after Pacesetter's demise. Chill is owned by Martin Caron. In October 2014, it was announced that Martin Caron had granted Matthew McFarland the right to create and publish "Chill" (3rd edition)[3] Star Ace is owned by Phillip Reed and Christopher Shy of Ronin Arts. Timemaster and Sandman are owned by Daniel Proctor of Goblinoid Games (publisher of Labyrinth Lord, among other games). Goblinoid Games also purchased the copyrights and trademarks to the Pacesetter brand and logo, thus reviving the brand and folding it into their product lines.[4] Goblinoid Games continues to publish games using the same Pacesetter RPG house system.
