RosenMcStern Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 The moment of the unveiling of our next project is approaching. Soon we will have all the paperworks in place and make the announcement to our closest partners. And in a few days' time, our fans will know, too. What is Project Z, then? To make it short, it is... the Roleplaying Game you have been waiting for more than forty years! We will reveal the details about the project one little bit at a time. Maybe I will answer some questions about the game, and maybe not. For sure, I will answer the following four questions, one at a time and over a period of some weeks. And when all questions have a reply, everything will become clear. WHERE will evil come from? WHEN will justice triumph? WHO will fight for mankind? WHAT is the sound of justice? 4 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd Dupont Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 But... but.. but... mm.. how does that relate to RD100? I was not playing RPG 40 years ago, I didn't even know about them! 😮 But that beg the question... 5 hours ago, RosenMcStern said: WHEN will justice triumph? Will Justice triumph? Is it... a super hero RPG? Sounds like it could be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Okay, this is that very special license? I must confess that I'm curious. I mean, I've been waiting for this since I was one year old 😉 Quote My RPG Blog: Swanosaurus - A Fierce and Beautiful Creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakob Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) How about to try an (maybe over-)analyze the OP? On 11/22/2019 at 6:29 PM, RosenMcStern said: the Roleplaying Game you have been waiting for more than forty years! This would seem to mean something like "the RPG you've been waiting for since there are RPGs." So it probably means that this is a setting that has been in existence prior to RPGs, hasn't been done yet as RPG and that mostly everyone would feel is overdue for the RPG treatment. Seriously, what could that be? Star Wars, Middle-Earth, the Young Kingdoms, Dying Earth, Lankhmar, Star Trek, Amber, the Cthulhu Mythos ... they've all been done several times, and most of them are actively licensed by other companies, anyway. The same goes for pretty much all major superhero universes (which the other part of the OP seems to point to); we certainly haven't waited 40 years for a Justice League RPG, since there have been several DC universe RPGs already ... My take based only on the first quote would be a fully realized, newby-friendly Tekumel RPG. I know there have been several Tekumel rpgs, but they are all quite esoteric (the take by the Guardians of Order was a valiant try, but it never really went anywhere). And Tekumel is certainly an essential part of RPG history. Still, that doesn't ring true with the rest of the OP. So, what am I missing? Is the "waiting for for 40 years" reference about the history of RPGs in the narrower sense (something that has always been a part of the rpg landscape, but has never been fully realized), or does it just mean that this is about a setting that should have been an rpg for a long time?

RosenMcStern Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 You are not too far from the truth, Jakob (except that it is not Tekumel), but you did not hit the jackpot yet. Let us say that this setting is not very popular in Germany, so you might not have thought of it for this reason. Anyway, the answer to the first question is out on Facebook. Please go to the Revolution D100 or Alephtar Games FB page to satify your curiosity. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakob Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 19 hours ago, Lloyd Dupont said: Nazi on the moon? or in the hollow earth?! 😮 Somehow, I doubt that it'll be Iron Sky - The RPG (mostly because of the "40 years" thing ...). I'm curious whether it will be really scifi; underground/deep space could be Lovecraftian, as well, or some brand of weird fantasy ... 1 Quote My RPG Blog: Swanosaurus - A Fierce and Beautiful Creature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 And when even the Esteemed Competition starts making educated guesses, then you know your teasers are hitting the spot So what do you think? Did Loz nail it? Battle of the Planets first aired in 1978, so it meets the "more than 40 years" condition. As for Iron Sky... it was an IP we considered doing some years ago, as did Cubicle 7 which was our publishing partner at the time, but the copyright owners never wanted to engage in negotiations for RPGs. The rest of the entertainment industry does not have a great consideration for us, let us face it. 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrence.whitaker Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 We spoke with the Iron Sky people about the RPG, but talks foundered as their plans and requirements were way too ambitious. An RPG was Kickstarted, and AFAIK, it's not gone especially well. Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenMcStern Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Aaah , Loz and Pete are as devilish as usual. Second time I say "no way we could even talk about doing this RPG" and then I discover they were actually much further in the negotiation phase. (and if anyone is wondering, the first time it was for RuneQuest) Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
