I finally got a response from Rebellion Unplugged on the state of T&T. Very short on details, but encouraging. They're not ready for an announcement quite yet, but "we're not doing a Webbed Sphere with T&T" is what I want to hear.

While I mean no disrespect to Rebellion at all, a solid year with no updates or announcements seems eerily similar to Webbed Sphere's rendition of Marcel Marceau's Sound of Silence.

Why don't IP-holders know that interacting with a pre-existing consumer-base is good for spreading the word about the product?

I don't know - it's about hte dumbest thing I can think of once you buy an IP - Not support it in any way... Ah well - Ken and I keep doing what we are doing... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/483776/Cthulhu-Crisis-1-GM-Adv--Comic

Rebellion social media is reporting JoyRide copies are out, so given the project leads were the same, paws crossed this means the focus soon turns to T&T (And I firmly believe if released will be good for M!M!, LoTLE etc. Rising tide of publicity and all of that)

Does anyone have any suspicions that Rebellion will alter the core fundamental mechanics, like, among others, the dice pool system? If they were to do so it would pretty much torpedo any backwards-compatability, which has always been a key feature of the game's long history. I'm less inclined to fret about any changes to the campaign-setting, as I wasn't terribly attached to it much to begin with.

If that's what they want to do, they will...and they will have my condolences, because revamping a system that already works and is much beloved by the Community-that scream of anguish that I hear will be the sound of somebody shooting themselves in both Corporate feet. Hopefully Rebellion will study their History and not repeat the many,many, many mistakes of the companies that came before them...

Hopefully Rebellion will study their History and not repeat the many,many, many mistakes of the companies that came before them... And mistakes currently being committed by present-day companies (*cough* Coastal Spellcasters *cough*) The problem in the industry largely is corporatism... Largely since, unless otherwise built into the governing documents of the corporation, in the US and UK, there's a duty to make a profit and share some of that profit with the stockholders. The moment HasBro bought WotC, the goal changed from long term support via minimum needed profits to maximal short term profits. I'll note that Rebellion Group is listed as privately held, so may not have the same profit imperative. I expect they're doing some low key playtesting and making some significant changes... Also, keep in mind that they may need to have a lot of new art - rights to the art don't always sell with rights to the text. I don't know how FBInc handled their art acquisitions... I suspect Mr. Crompton may be able to speak to what art rights were involved.

I hope they might have a chat with Sarah Newton.

Very good point. A T&T without Liz Danforth's art is nigh unthinkable.

Most all the old T&T art belongs to Rebellion and they could use it if they so wished. (That is my understanding) That was the arrangement with WebbedSphere. I provided the art assets to WebbedSphere back in 2021 so they have digital files of virtually all the T&T art we have used in the last 40 years. As I mentioned earlier I do not have any idea what (if anything) they are working on or planning. I know as much as the rest of you in that regard. Ken and I continue to work on M!M! and we will continue to do so.
Our goal is to create things that you would like to see and also to surprise you from time to time with new and innovative things as well!

Rebellion has said in a recent email that they are preparing mew releases and T&T fans should expect to hear more in the coming weeks. Exciting news.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of T&T - so presumably they'll have something for that time... As said previously neither Ken nor I have had any communication with them in any form since May of 2023.
