Future support for TFT
What level of support does SJG plan on providing for TFT in the future as far as new products being produced and keeping the core rule books in print? I do not want to see it to go down the same road as Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying (http://www.sjgames.com/dungeonfantasy/) with no new rule books printed for it after the initial print run.
I am also wanting to see regular new material released for it (especially things in addition to rules expansions such as campaign worlds, regular adventures, etc...). Jason |

That said, we have been making notes for a second Kickstarter project in early 2019, after the game ships, so that if the demand remains, we can continue to support the game. The Kickstarter page -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ol-roleplaying -- discusses future support of the game.

Re: Future support for TFT
Sorry to hear this. TFT was always my favorite game. Played it until GURPS came out. I have been hoping that it was back to stay. I was planning on getting hardbacks to replace my orginal sets. Maybe I should just save my money if SJG is not serious about bringing it back. After all, I have all the origial Metagaming copies.

Re: Future support for TFT
I was responding to philreed.
I have loved TFT since it was first released. I found D&D wanting when I later learned it. GURPS is great also, but hard to get players for. I was hoping for a return to a great game. Philreed's answer just read as maybe to me. Maybe we will make more... Yes, I know that all products have a lifecycle and there will be a time when it will not be profitable to pursuit making more, but at the begining of the revival is not the time to throw water on the idea that TFT will live forever (or at least longer than me). I hope this answers both of your questions. |

Ongoing support will depend entirely on ongoing demand. If the demand for expansions is not there, we will be forced to end support. If you check the Kickstarter page -- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ol-roleplaying -- you will find information on future support, including that we have hired a line editor so that we can prepare to create more supplements, adventures, and accessories. Do we _want_ to continue supporting the game? Absolutely!

Too many companies will tell you they have plans for the next ten years only to abandon them as soon as sales slump. With this edition we have all we need for a modern take, with the new kickstarter plus the limited licence option, plus a line editor we have plenty of evidence of a serious commitment and good material. But if people want to wait a year before signing on, well most product lines cant survive that. Retail stores are just not what they used to be, nor is the distribution and inventory systems. EDIT Writing up a blog entry and another example of SJG commitment to TFT came to mind. Steve went through a lot of hassle, time and money getting those rights back. He would not have done that if he did not really want it to succeed. But hes smart enough to not blindly commit the entire company on a roll of the dice. There is a reason he has been in business so long when so many others in the industry failed.

So perhaps Mallen the Dark read the response overly pessimistically. Last edited by tbeard1999; 08-20-2018 at 01:49 PM. |
