Mike Mearls and his Gamma World project!

There are many things WotC works on that never see the light of day.

For instance it is rumored there are at least two Magic the Gathering RPGs in the hidden archives.

And the manuscript for Dune d20.

And the Ark of the Covenant.

Colville!

I mean. I wouldn't be surprised if they had at least proposed Indiana Jones d20.

They were going to do a warcraft RPG back in 3e days.

They did, twice.

(Ok maybe it wasn't WoTC)

I love Gamma World. I like where Mearls' head is at regarding the core gameplay loop. Personally, I want my flavor of Gamma World to be strange, but not silly.

If it doesn't have Hoops, I ain't going to play (my 1st GW character was a Hoop outcast).

Yeah, the company that picked up the licence was, I think, sword and sorcery. But WotC apparently had a campaign book slated. Found this out randomly just the other day.

The first Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game was released in 2003 under licenses from Blizzard and WotC and carried both the Warcraft and D&D logos, but was a Sword & Sorcery/Arthaus production. There were a handful of supplements released, but those lacked the D&D logo. Reading through it, I don't get the impression that WotC had much involvement beyond the licensing.

The second version, World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game was released in 2005, also by Sword & Sorcery/Arthaus but only under a Blizzard license, so none of the products carried the D&D logo. Both versions use the d20 system.

WotC should talk with Blizzard for a Warcraft d20. It is a famous franchise, but now it is not in the best moment, and they shouldn't ask too much.

The doors for a return of Gamma World shouldn't be closed and locked for a long time. It has got potential to be a cash-cow as multimedia franchise.
