[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9649826, member: 6779310"] Reichstar was similar - a techbook was planned but never materialized. Plus, it's subject matter has caused it to be seen as a dogwhistle - but it's a game about [I]fighting[/I] the Nazis in a few centuries on in an alt history where they won WWII... and have a hyperdrive. Or, at least, that's the stated goal by the authors. Solid mechanics (essentially, convert GURPS Light to a 2d20 roll). Edgy setting material. No follow-up materials I can find. There were several books for the Arcanum - under the name "The Atlantean Trilogy." The relaunch was a fan who bought rights to the mechanics, but was unable to get the setting rights. It's a faithful relayout with only minor changes, save the removal of the setting-distinct Druas. In the case of Star Wars, the licensor holds rights to the licensee's works. Same for Star Trek. Not all work that way. Note that the reissue of WEG Star Wars 1e wasn't an issue of obtaining the rights, but convincing LFL that it would make money. Note that C7 got rights from GW to keep the FFG versions up in PDF. On the other side, Fox has typically let RPGs stay up in PDF until a new licensee... Eden Studios is essentially comatose, but BTVS, Angel, and Army of Darkness are still up in PDF (As is the non-licensed AFMBE). Fox just wants their share of the royalties. [/QUOTE]
