TSR What TSR-era RPG should get an official 5e reboot?

I know I am probably in the minority here, but I actually played more Top Secret in the early eighties than D&D.

Wonky rules? Sure. Super cool intrigue during the Cold War? You bet!

If they reboot, I would prefer they set it during the 1950's-1980's. Great time to be a spy.

Top Secret is actually getting a new edition! Designed by Rasmussen, even.

For my part, I'm going with Gamma World, for all that post-apocalyptic zaniness. I have fond memories of playing a mutated mushroom.

What no option for Buck Rogers.

Gamma World is the most re-booted of TSR games, AFAIK. I count no less than 7 editions (counting either Omega World or S&SS's execrable d20 Modern version, but not both). I quite liked the 1st, 4th, & 7th. (OK, and Omega World.) Then there was Metamorphosis Alpha, also through several incarnations. Between the two, they were done in proto-d20 TSR-de-facto-core-D&Dish-system, actual d20, 4e-influenced-d20, FASE/RIP (ick), Amazing Engine, and Alternity. That's too many reboots under too many systems.
So, while I love it, it's hardly fair to ask for it yet again.

I actually played Star Frontiers more than a little at the time, and haven't heard a peep about it in a long time... yeah.

What, no wood burning set? Or a soap opera game?


I don't think they could do Marvel Super Heroes. Licensing that IP is beyond the budget, I'd be guessing.

I liked Boot Hill. Still have my dice as a matter of fact.

The DragonQuest RPG. Pure brilliance. I'd love to see how Mike and the gang handled the Colleges of Magic within a 5e context.

It'll never happen. But a boy can dream.
