What Lost, Abandoned or Short Lived TTRPG would you like to see get a re-issue and new support?

Have you looked at Blades of the Iron Throne? https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/114920/blade-of-the-iron-throne-b-w-edition

Because I never had a copy of TRoS, I don't know how close BotIT is to it. Though I think it moves from d10s to d12s? (Which I know some people think is a major design faux pas!)
I have, but I've not finished reading it. I found something about it off-putting? It didn't occur to me at the time I was reading it, but maybe it was the d12s.

An OSE style treatment for D&D 4e has been on my wish list for about half a decade now. Something that cleans the game rules up and better organizes things.

I pulled out my 4e PHB a few weeks ago and I was reminded just how radically diffrent it was from all other versions of D&D.

I think a revamp could work if it was card driven, slightly simpler, reduced some option bloat, and was focused on a specific setting versus trying to be generic fantasy D&D.

You might want to look into Draw Steel. It's not exactly that, but it definitely has a lot of 4e DNA in it. And you get to kick bad guys through walls!
 

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying.

I know Cortex is still around...but a toolbox isn't really what I'm looking for. It's a neat system once you wrap your head around it. As an aside, I would kill to see Cortex do sword and sorcery...and Night's Black Agents (love the superspy vibe of that game but mechanically it just doesn't work).

Anyway, I overpaid for hardcopies of much of the MHR product line. I regret nothing! The campaign books are an incredible value, packed with stat blocks, story, and vibes. I really wish we had gotten an X-Men book (or two), Spidey and street-level heroes, etc, etc, etc.

It does work for some. What are you saying doesn't work?

In case you are planning to run soon and one or more of your players want a dead tree copy... MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME: Core Rulebook - HamiltonBook.com
They also have the X-men and Kang books, same price.
 



Ooof, since I didn't play either and actually care very little for Marvel, I didn't even know there was a difference. Is one the d666 version?
Marvel Multiverse is d666. I haven't read or played it - but from what I've read about it, it's a pretty conventional RPG design.

Marvel Heroic RP is less conventional - some people compare it to Fate, although I don't personally think they're as close as is sometimes mooted. I think it's a terrific system. Here's my adaption of it to MERP/LotR: Middle Earth/LotR RPGing using Cortex+ Heroic
