So I haven't looked at the new Timemaster but does it still use the original chart or did you have to redo it so it's compatible with the other games like Cryptworld?

Other way around: Cryptworld (and Rotworld and Majus) is compatible with the original games like Timemaster, which wasn't changed one iota except for new art and some layout/design updates. So yes, it's all the same Action Table System you know, love, and still remember how to use from the 1980s.

With Majus, Cryptworld and Rotworld, Pacesetter has the horror/dark fantasy genre pretty well covered. In the sci-fi arena we've got TimeMaster. Although a rollicking space opera title to replace Star Ace would be nice, if you've already got Starships and Spacemen it'd kinda be a duplicated effort even though S&S uses a different game system. Ditto Labyrinth Lord and Wizard's World; you've got standard wizards-and-elves fantasy covered. What other gaming genres could you do that wouldn't be, "Oh yes, we've got an Action Table System version of that, too"? Are there particular genres that are an especially good fit for Pacesetter game mechanics?
