Seeing as the books mention that Witchers used to take apprentices something close to Dark Heresy might work: the PC's are apprentice Witchers being set tasks by their master. It would explain levelling, parties etc.

The point about Dredd being about pursuit is spot on.

Rather meh about the Planet Mongoose too. Sounds interesting but rather generic. I've been playing the Rebellion Judge Dread game and rather like that. It contains Arcade (one off themed battles) and Campaign (in which you deliver justice whilst trying to stop the Death Judges). Arcade allows...

Nice summary. On the game contents etc. I think a CD loaded with print-out models is best*. Yes its expensive but there is no way you could fit all the crazy of MC1 or even enough of it, into one game. I'd almost prefer to see Tannhauser style limited number of excellent quality models rounded...

The biggest reason to stay away from a big battle game is that would involve far more figures and as pretty much everyone I've heard talking about this has said- the miniatures need to be good. Start small with the pre-existing audience. If it goes well and people demand it then think about...

Making it a full wargame is certainty for fail. Skirmish is absolutely the way to go. MGP has the ability to make decent minis, their GOMC line wasn't bad and some of the earlier SST stuff was OK, its just they really, really need to beef up quality control and hire decent sculptors.* I really...

Kudos Matt- that's an excellent way to refocus it. I think the idea of putting you in charge of a squad of Judges is excellent. As all the characters introduced in the comic books are essentially introduced by their conflicts with the judges I think its the best way to go. That also allows...

RPG's were certainly dangerous- many tankies left their gear on the outside and RPG's would lead to them catching fire. For the most part though recoiless rifles were the most scary and as far as I'm aware scored the only (pure) kill in the Thunder Runs. Iraqi tanks were generally no danger...

Qin.

Anyone else remember Trinity Battleground with the Bob Naismith minis? Ace idea for a game.

I like that as an idea. Or even as a competition.

Personally I think that is a very good idea. Release a core rulebook and then add "setting" books

Eisho definately has a point. You see the same with Warzone: sure there was still a massive line available but really, people stopped playing without new releases. Now only a small minority of die hards play the game. I think Matt has it very right when he says that MGP is a gaming company, not...

Is it commercially viable? Only reflecting my personal awareness but the scale bombed with a lot of people I know, particuarly those into Ultramodern. Who wants to be told their pre-existing T-72 and Afghan rifle company in 28mm can't fit or that their Somali militia is far too large? 1/65 is...

Heh, absolutely. Though it would still be nice if MGP moved to a real scale rather than using one that isn't compatible with anything. Screw Tigers, where's my RCW Armoured Train. Broom, Broom. Boom, Boom. :twisted:
