Mongoose's new RPG License - speculation?

[dmccoy1693]

Well here are interesting developments, straight from the mouth of Mongoose Matt over at RPG.net:

We have the rights to Tri-Stat - just haven't found anything to do with it yet

http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=346855&page=8

It has been a while since I looked over it, so I would have to check the contract. Right now, I would assume rights, rather than ownership. During the latter days of GoO, we accepted the rights to Tri-Stat in lieu of payment (we paid for their last books).

I will say this (and only once). You will know it when you see it. Whenever these discussions spring up, two or three possible titles consistently get raised. It's one of those.

You won't be disappointed. But you will have to wait.

Hey, if someone wants to produce Tri-Stat books, we have a nice Flaming Cobra programme already set up for you. We can discuss the licence requirements - it just needs some people with a Good Idea and a little Talent

Guesses from the first 4 pages of that thread (that I consider serious) are (and total number of times mentioned):
HALO - 2
GURPS - 1
Rifts - 1
BESM - 2
007 - 1
LotR - 1

Actually, I think Matt was referring to the Grail and not the gaming IP to be revealed on Saturday.

I will go with Palladium or RIFTS...

Maybe they can pull off making the system not suck...

Nah. That's asking too much.

Deadlands Classic? Nah.

I am going to guess Traveller, but I'd really prefer Fallout.

I doubt it will be related to Cthulhu as that wouldn't require a license and they're already publishing the Cthulhutech RPG. http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/detail.php?qsID=1353&qsSeries=Flaming Cobra

My guess would be Fallout. Glutton Creeper was making a Fallout D20 game under license from Interplay, and then was told that Bethesda has the pen and paper rights. They have changed the line's name to Exodus so they can continue. http://www.gluttoncreeper.com/exodus

Chad: The Tragedy featuring the MonoStat system.

Chad: The Tragedy featuring the MonoStat system.

I believe it's Chad: The Travesty. And I think the MonoStat system rocks!

Oh yeah? Well, I believe you're right! Take that!

 

[Sir Brennen]

"Extremely popular" eh? Maybe it's Dance-Dance-Revolution the RPG.

No, it's Guitar Hero the RPG!

I don't know what other people are thinking. Matt has already confirmed my guess.

Curses! And we would have got away with it too, if it had not been for that pesky Jenkin!

It is D&D 4E
