Wild Guesses

Eyes Only - Cold War era espionage with a wink and a nod to a certain double-zero agent!
Tombstone! - A Western shootout/skirmish game with a touch of role-playing thown in!
G-Men - 1920s crime and punishment!
Blobs In Spaaaaace! - Science Fiction Role-Playing With LIttle Blobby Dudes (and some other races)!

And now, with those out of the way, I hope it's either a retroclone of something that hasn't been done yet (or that hasn't got a real, solid clone out there like Melee/Wizard/TFT) *or* something entirely new. Either way would be cool.

Oh, and the above guesses would be cool, too. But if I guessed the name right I want an honest-to-goodness official Goblinoid Games Un-Prize :)

This would be fun, if you mean a clone of the old Snits, Awful Green Things, and "Floating in timeless Space, the Gods were bored" comics by Tom Wham! 8-)

Ooooohh! Well, the last time we played this game, S&S surfaced. So I wonder if there's a new "acquisition" on the horizon. Or perhaps someone's been busy writing something new and keeping a very tight lid on the details and progress. That said, I'll guess either a western, espionage, or WWII (combat) genre.

EDIT: Oh, wouldn't "Gangbusters" be a neat addition?

Nope. There are clones of Melee out there. Someone on Boardgamegeek was pimping his version of Melee the other week. A version of Wizard won't be far behind. Besides, I thought GURPS was a Melee derivative?

Now, let's look at what we already have. D&D clone, Gamma World clone, possible revision of Starships & Spacemen, Call of Cthulhu mod ...

I reckon we're going after something from the modern era. As FBI are keeping MSPE close to their chests, I'll go with either a Gangbusters clone or a Top Secret-style mod.

Id like to see a Super-heroes or Wild West game.

I hope to be ready to make a formal announcement in 1-2 weeks, but in the meantime...

Let's play a game! I'll answer the first four yes/no answer questions posted below (each must be by a different poster). They must be yes/no answer! :D

It's obvious.

Goblinoid Games picked up the Star Wars license that Mongoose couldn't get.

Congrats!

Is it a percentile based system?
