Supernatural RPG. . . what happened?

[jdrakeh]

I've recently started watching Supernatural again and it occurred to me that it has now been quite a while since the first ETA that MWP announced for the Supernatural RPG (Summer 2007). I recall it getting pushed back to October and, later, indefinitely as focus shifted to a Quick Start.

As far as I know, neither the RPG or the Quick Start ever got published, so I figured that I'd check up on it tonight. . . but the only web addresses that Google pulls up for MWP (here and here) are invalid or lead to dead (i.e., undeveloped) web pages.

Is this game still in the works? What's the latest news (I can find nothing official dated after 2007)? Does MWP have a new website that I am not aware of? I mean, seriously, it's been a. . . long while. . . with no updates at all. Should I just write this thing off?

My DM recently ordered it on Amazon. He says that it will be shipped in January 2010; I guess the release date got pushed back by a year or so.

By a few years — the first tentative release date was Summer 2007

[Edit: Weird. When I go to Amazon, I get a message telling me to sign up for availability notifications. Apparently you can't pre-order it anymore.]

Cam Banks had some sort of update about it in the fall over in the Publisher Forum. I hope it is still coming out.

I hope so, too. I mean, I have Against the Darkness and The Window to occupy in the meantime but I'm really interested in a game that provides lots of world-specific fluff for Supernatural.

The thing is, any sort of Supernatural tie-in game would HAVE to be shipped with a soundtrack CD with lots of Kansas, Boston, Credence Clearwater Revival...

As for world-specific fluff, you can go with the Supernatural Wiki: Supernatural Wiki - Super-wiki

I think Supernatural can already be done with a d20 Modern mix of Shadow Chasers and Urban Arcana.

I'm heavily leaning toward Aginst the Darkness (with tweaks) or Fudge, myself. And, yes, the Super-Wiki is definitely a great resource

I used a generic system when I ran it as a one shot last spring. Music is easy to get and the wiki rocks.

I was thumbing around Urban Arcana, and the Shadow Hunter advanced class is pretty much a shoe-in for the Winchesters.

I probably would use d20 Modern (if I hadn't sold it a few years ago)
