MSPE is still available from the original publisher (albeit the defunct Slueth print) so although fresh copies aren't popping out of the press, I think it still counts as being 'in print' and therefore not... 'dead'. Ah, yeah. Now that'd be an issue and, it'd sure be nicer to keep that high ground. Still, for me it was more of a personal thing as i've not seen the rules yet and, i'd like to know what goes on in a game.

MSPE is an outstanding game.
For me it really shines in the GM advice on running mystery and merc games. Inspired stuff.
The combat system makes you stop and scratch your head when you first read it but it runs like a dream in actual play. Except when you get shot of course. Then play stops while you roll up a new character...

It's brutal, lethal, and loads of fun. And the skill system was so good, I adapted it into T&T. And later, so did Mike, who wrote MSPE...

That said, i was having a read of JJB's 4th Edition Reboot and now i find myself thinking, could we do that with MS&PE?? You mean Hogscape's 4th Edition Reboot (Dark Isles)?

I'm working on an MSPE's mystery adventure with a non-cthulhu supernatural element. It will be ready for issue 2.
