It won't do Toon any harm :)

“Toon” perhaps?

EDIT: Oops! It appears great minds think alike, and SJ himself just beat me to the punch!

I wasn't able to think of that at the moment. I figured I'd missed at least one.
I concur, Toon's unlikely to be affected... how many units you moving on that?

Oh, and Killer. Killer won't be much affected, either. (Are you even selling it anymore?)

Munchkin d20 might have some overlap. But it's not one I've seen for sale recently.

Wow. We had great fun playing Killer in high school in the early 80s. Suffice it to say the world is very different now. :(

We did in college too. Jeez, can you IMAGINE the reaction now? Everybody'd be en route to Guantanamo before the first day was over...

How about a Munchkin crossover where you generate characters with Munchkin and then have them battle to the death in TFT?

A lot of things we did as kids would be harshly overreacted to today.

I have, however, seen high schoolers in the last 5 years with copies of Killer in their possession. At school, no less. (Which was, for me, at work.)

And the same spots in the various high schools still have RPG's happening at lunch. (My alma mater has more than one group in a couple of the locations, due to multiple lunch periods. I know where some games were at other Anchorage School District schools, too, from friends, and East still has a group in the spine between EHS and SWS, and another in the choir room. West still has a group meeting in one or another of the Soc. Studies rooms, and in the Choir Room. I got asked to autograph a copy of T20 Traveller's Handbook at Dimond HS.)

Since I moved to Corvallis, I'm the GM at the local FLGS offering "Non-D&D options"... and the teens are the ones populating my table.

I was thinking more in terms of "officialdom's" reaction, not the players. Kids are still kids, after all, and what appealed to us will probably appeal to them too -- even if they don't know how to use a rotary phone! ;-)
