Westland, MI – October 13, 2023 – Palladium Books and Paramount Consumer Products have joined forces to reissue the ever-popular role-playing game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness.

The beloved, out-of-print Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles role-playing game and its sourcebooks are sought-after collector items that have enthralled generations since its release in 1985 as one of the first licensed TMNT products. They are returning to print as two deluxe hardcover collections of the RPG and sourcebooks. Each is being completely remastered by industry veteran Sean Owen Roberson and presented in full color, and Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will also provide a new painted cover.

Wow. This is very surprising. I own original prints of all the TMNT books but on one hand I'm tempted to back this just to get nice PDF copies. On the other hand I'm reminded of Palladium doing PDF releases of their Robotech books only to lose the license again. That I blame mostly on Harmony Gold spit but I do question Palladium's due diligence with their licenses. On the gripping hand it's also a little disappointing TMNT can't get a better rule set than the Palladium system.

There have been clones and similarly themed RPGs in the years since.

Yeah, I've been doing Mutants in the Now for about two years now as the preeminent homage, and we just put out the first expansion, Mutants in the Next. Given this is a reprint of the 35-year old original with extra art and material, I'm confident MitN is doing something different enough to stand on its own.

As far as I know a Savage Worlds version would be a new agreement, but I can't say for certain.
