Judge Dredd RPG out in July

[Tiptonman]

Hello,

No, unfortunately, you have to buy the Traveler Core Rules to play Traveler Dredd (so I understand). Not acceptable for a £30 book!

It may not surprise anybody that JDRPG has never been a big seller (although sometimes the initial rulebooks do okay because of their novelty factor), so promoting it as a Traveler spin-off is one way to try to pull in customers who wouldn't normarily buy Dredd (or 2000AD). BUT, the very notion that Dredd can't survive without the Traveler connection doesn't instill much confidence in the line.

For other RPGers comments re Mongoose's consistently poor production, check out this thread. It got quite busy:

I'm far less interested in 'having a pop' at Mongoose (hundreds have done it for me) than desperately wanting a decent licensee for JD products.

Heh, that's a grim read alright!  Seeing as Dredd is Rebellion's baby, maybe they'll exert some quality control, and some of their considerable design talent, over this product.  'Spose we'll see soon enough.

Absolutely! I'm hoping for the best.
