Chill 1e?

"So the dilemma one would face is even if you could secure the rights in some form they wouldn't be exclusive, apparently. If I reprinted the Pacesetter CHILL, for example, someone else might be able to come along and release a 3rd edition with a new system. Talk about brand confusion!"

Heh, but not as bad as RuneQuest. At last count, there was RuneQuest 6, Mongoose RuneQuest II, and Mongoose Legend -- all currently in print, all sharing pretty similar rules. Only MRQ II has Glorantha references (to RQ's traditional setting). Meanwhile, actual Glorantha material is being produced for a separate game system, Hero Wars! (And the Mongoose RuneQuest I SRD, free download, is still floating around, too.)

The upside is that material for these competing games is generally cross-compatible, generating greater player interest in their assorted supplements.

If you're looking for a Pacesetter horror game setting/concept, let me toss out something I've pondered for a while. The PC's are newspaper reporters (or TV newscasters or whatever). Anyway, while researching info on some basic mundane news story, they stumble across some supernatural element or monstrous being that is actually behind the disturbance. So you have an investigative/research bent, as well as a monster-of-the-week angle. (Sound like a certain early Pacesetter game?)

Anyway, think of it as "Kolchak the RPG". And the title of this game?

"Deadlines"

Sounds like an author's proposal to me. How soon can you have the manuscript ready?

Got too many projects as-is. After I wrap up the Mutant Future creature catalog this month (fingers crossed), I have a Mutant Future module I'm finishing, plus a fully fleshed-out RPG concept I've been working on. So this would have to wait.

And don't even get me started on "Hammer Down": the 1970's "stalwart-truckers-against-the-corrupt-law" RPG and driving sim. (Smokey and the Bandit/Convoy/Citizen's Band/BJ and the Bear)

Make it the 2170s and turn it into a Mutant Future campaign, a sort of grunge future Pony Express deal. "The mail/food supplies/fuel/latest issue of Tiger Beat must get through!" Ten-four, good buddy!

Ten-four, good buddy!

You're thinking of a different game:





(I owned this game as a kid...)

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE at least make a retro clone of this great game!!! This would be my number 1 wish for Goblinoid Games and frankly, would be the main thing I'd want to play in your lineup of games. I'd support any kickstarter attempt.
