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

[Thomas Shey]

Honestly, I'm not sure that the lack of success for Immortal had much to do with complexity; it was less complex in most ways than most of the White Wolf games (which it was pretty clearly inspired by) and plenty of them did well. It had two big problems a few little ones.

1. The compulsive need to rename every common game element left a barrier to entry that was absolutely a self-own.
2. Progression was such that the theoretical selling point of the setting (the superhuman protagonists that had lost their memories) was more theoretical than actual (Scion 1e suffered from this too; you were only going to likely ever see Demigod if you started there, given the rate of advancement).

I would have said "The Fantasy Trip," except 1. That's already happened, and 2. I find I don't like any of the changes made in the new 'Legacy' edition. So I suppose my wish would be for the older 'Classic' edition to be reprinted, at least as a PDF.

This game is still available because of specifics about the license, as I understand it.

WoTC own the rights to Dragonquest RPG by SPI (1980, 1982). TSR even published a 3e in 1989. It used a d100 skills system. Combat was very gritty, taking into account wounds and combat fatigue. In view recent reedition of old systems like T&T, a new refreshed and streamlined Dragonquest edition would cater to a different market segment than D&D.

I wish they’d release the PDFs for sale.

In PDF probably and nothing new is being made, i believe. Have to get the physical books off Ebay. And some are rare. I used to have a full set (Buffy and Angel) back in the day before I Ebayed them all.

Talisman Adventures, I like the design, but it did not last very long

My FLGS has the core and the adventure book and even a set of branded dice. I’ve been eyeing it.

I picked it up two years ago at Gamehole Con. I have a friend who I go with and we always get a game to run a one-shot of during the next year. I genuinely liked the system and we had fun with it. I think the issue was that there wasn't enough: lore, character options and all that. But it had good bones.

Are you going to run it at Gameholecon?

Just going to play this year. I plan to get back on the horse to run something next year. I have a bunch of friends who are going there who are running events, though. I've play-tested them and they're going to be AMAZING.

I will think about running Talisman, though. I was planning Fabula Ultima or DaggerHeart.
