I was never actually able to play it. As a 12-year-old, the Masterbook rules were impenetrable to me, and it wasn't long before my parents found it, freaked out, and destroyed it as a casualty of the satanic panic at the time.Kyle Wist - Art and Entrepreneurshiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04109920114248748795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-82688718430157911722023-07-22T02:32:35.260-04:002023-07-22T02:32:35.260-04:00One more question, same as the old Star Wars crew ...One more question, same as the old Star Wars crew assembled to produce a very nice adventures book on DrivethrughRPG, would there be room to kickstart a "Not-Indiana Jones" RPG and supplement?

The only version I ever saw was the TSR version (which I found to be a terrible disappointment).<br /><br />Personally, I think a D6 treatment similar to what WEG did with Star Wars (movie sourcebooks, cinematic role-playing, etc.) would have been the perfect way to handle the license. Certainly, that's the kind of thing I was hoping for when I bought the TSR RPG. Too bad...a missed opportunity indeed!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-22037399982681963352021-06-22T15:35:11.016-04:002021-06-22T15:35:11.016-04:00A wonderful read, very interesting how all that pl...A wonderful read, very interesting how all that played out in the last days of WEG.
