Anybody else see this? Still early but good news!

Twilight 2000 returns.
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.

Whatever happened to Twilight 2013?
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

I saw this and my first thought was "sparkly vampires."  Does that make me a bad person?

It was a politically correct dung pile that failed less hard than it deserved.

Just the fact that it is not a 5e 'compatible' game is a victory.

Eh, they're not using the "original-original" timeline. They are using the revised timeline from T2000 v2.

Minor quibble aside, I am curious as to how close to the T2000 game mechanics they are going to stick, and if so whether they are building off of the v1 or v2.2 rules.

Probably going to use the Mutant Year Zero, Tales from the Loop, Forbidden Lands, etc system that all the rest of their games seem to use.

Which makes it trash pretty much. Any of you guys suffer through playing the MY0 system? I tried,  I really did.  It sucks.

Big Eyes Small Mouth made a comeback and it's actually awesome, and now Twilight 2000 is coming back too and it's not going to be some 5E-compatible woke punk trainwreck?

Awesome

Now, if RECON and Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game can come back while Onyx Path gets dissolved and Paradox ends V5 and W5 for good, then all will be perfect in the RPG hobby.

Yeah, I've tried it...I tossed it into the same pile as Fate/Fudge, Traveller 5, the new 7th Sea, and so many other games.

I have Coriolis. Same general system even if the specifics differ a bit. The failure rate seems very, very high and the game is made to ensure you're not really good at much of anything (even your "thing").

Eh, that's Palladium's version. I was hoping someone had resurrected the pre-Palladium version.

That's why you have the ability to do x (varies from setting to setting) allowing you to succeed but giving the GM some sort of narrative points to use against the group.

Twilight 2000, in its original form, is delightfully wonky and if you like Traveller then you'll find it is very like that system.  It's definitely an "old school" game from a design standpoint, and I like it like that a lot.  It's not a "story telling game" by any stretch, it's an action game.  It's D&D in Poland after WW3.  Tales from the Loop is a fine system - for Tales from the Loop.  But T2k is gun-and-tank-porn, and I just don't foresee how they can capture that feeling.

And yes, Twilight 2013 is bad.  It's 4e D&D bad.  Blah blah people rush in saying "Oh then it should be great, 4e rocked" etc., go ahead and get it out of your systems.  But anyway, yes, T2013 sucked on ice.
