I think this is a good sign:

Oh Dang! Rebellion publishes 2000AD. I wonder if we might get a MSPE or T&T based Judge Dredd RPG.

This is an interesting development!
I'm going to be cautiously optimistic at this point. It certainly seems like this is a positive move, at least in comparison to the recent lack of activity from Webbed Sphere. But:
"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley."
as the saying goes. So we'll have to wait and see.

I'd not made the connection, but an historical YouTube channel I follow is actually by Jason Kingsley, the man behind Rebellion. Here he is demonstrating chainmail undies… I think T&T has found a like-minded owner 😁

I think this is a good development. Rebellion, in their publishing imprint, have been reprinting classic British comics from my youth so they seem to have a genuine appreciation for tradition (or nostalgia, possibly...) and nerdism.
I hope their edition is firstly compatible with older editions, and secondly not a £40 hardback splatbook but more akin to T&T's cheap and cheerful older editions.
Jason Kingsley, the founder of Rebellion, is a big time medieval reenactor so I can imagine the giant weapon lists are probably safe.

The series on riding donkeys into battle was rather interesting. I'll have to look a bit closer.

There's speculation that Rebellion may have bought all of the FBI game lines, given some weight by the fact that going to the FBI website now gets redirected to Rebellion.

I wonder if anyone might post more here as this develops? I tried signing up for Rebellion's email newsletter, but was repelled by the cryptic "Sorry, we were unable to verify you." after submitting the form. Has anyone successfully subscribed? Like bigjackbrass , I am excited to see what they might do even if it's not for me. I got the same message first time, too, but then I think I found an "accept cookies" button somewhere, accepted it, and then it went through.

I didn't see a mention of Nuclear War in the presser, so perhaps that will go to another company. I know a certain game publisher who would LOVE that property.

Feeling good about this... more good T&T stuff coming soon, if my crystal ball is still working!

Every time (as with T&T) there's a bit of ambiguity about ownership I start looking around the block and thinking about who I can try to mortgage what to go into a group purchase... ...and then I remember that brains need oxygen and inhale.

Great news! Honestly, I couldn't have felt worse about T&T. At least now I have a little hope. Thanks for sharing!
