[QUOTE="Dungeoneer, post: 6366857, member: 91777"] *shrug* I'm not privy to WotC's internal business discussions, but given that the first boxed set was announced as 'a complete, stand-alone roleplaying game' the implication was very much that it was a one-and-done. It was never intended to be a "launch line" with massive mutli-media tie ins. Here's someone's notes from the 2010 D&DXP seminar where GW was discussed that [URL="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_hRJxiGS_FegJ6uEQfomWE-oG1DnaP3vHsPishy9kZI/edit"]backs this up[/URL]. This was all four years ago. OF COURSE the box is sitting in discount bins. And let's face it, this is a game with talking pigs and badgers and little green men. It was always going to be a bit of a niche product. To get back to the discussion at hand, I would be surprised if there was a 5e take on Gamma World, at least in the near future. The gonzo style of the game seemed to be a natural fit for 4e in a way it might not be for 5e. Also since GW has [I]had[/I] its recent revival, it is probably better that they surprise us with revivals of some other old game or setting. 5e Boot Hill??? [/QUOTE]
