Really have no idea what the Dan Dare Corporation are playing at.  They could at least make some money by selling the rights to Rebellion, rather than earning them nothing (which is what's happening now).  A reprint of the early days of the new Dan Dare (Mills/Wagner/Kennedy-era) would definitely sell.  People have been asking about it for years.  I'd certainly buy a copy.  Same goes for reprints of Doomlord, Bloodfang, Manix (the S.M.O.G. era stories are still living in my memory).

The last Dan Dare series from Titan was crap.  I never finished it.  The artwork absolutely murdered it and Milligan seemed to be phoning it in.  A bit of quality control would have been good and carrying on the themes  and characters from either the original or New Eagle version would have actually worked.

It's a real shame.  I've GM'd the EN Publishing Dredd game, as well as playing it.  I'm currently playing in a Rogue Trooper scenario, and I'm loving it.  It's a very nice system with plenty of flexibility in it, and EN Publishing were just starting to get their teeth into it.  That said, as soon as Rebellion started getting their own TTRPG division going, the writing was on the wall, sadly.

Looking at the most recent developments, I'm not really struck by the new Jenga-based RPG that's on it's way.  Something more along the lines of the Tartarus Gate system would be better as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah... a TTRPG based on Jenga... OK, it's innovative, but I'm not sure it's the right move.  It just doesn't grab me like one based on the house system being used in Tartarus Gate might.  Have to say I'm a little disappointed.

Literally just stumbled across this one!

Hopefully this will include the Big Finish audios, since they're no longer available.  If they do more Strontium Dog, can we have Simon Pegg back as Johnny?  Wonder if Jason Haigh-Ellery and Nick Briggs have pitched for the contract as outside contractors?
