Kickstarter - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness

Ah, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The first Palladium RPG for many of my friends, but not me. I was never a huge TMNT fan. Still, the TMNT RPG brings back many gamer memories from the 90s, as the rules were often brought to our table for inspiration in our Rifts Campaign. Yeah, You're better off not asking ;)

Palladium has managed to renew its license for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is bringing the RPG back via Kickstarter, which is kinda ballsie after the Robotech Tactics fiasco. Simply google it. It isn't a good look.

Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprising, as the RPG community has some serious memory gaps, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness RPG has blown away its funding goal on Kickstarter, currently sitting at over $834k with 10 days left in funding. Yes, it's going to be another Million Dollar RPG Kickstarter before the end of funding.

No, I won't be backing this one. Still, it should be an interesting one to follow, and I'm sure it will be a hit with the TMNT crowd. Thankfully, that fandom passed me by ;)

News: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Role-Playing Game is Back!

Yep, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness Role-Playing Game is returning from Palladium Books via Kickstarter on October 31st, 2023. I played it a bit back in the day but never owned the rules. I guess that will be corrected shortly ;)

From the press release:

Westland, MI – October 13, 2023 – Palladium Books and Paramount Consumer Products have joined forces to reissue the ever-popular role-playing game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness.

They are returning to print as two deluxe hardcover collections of the RPG and sourcebooks. Each is being completely remastered by industry veteran Sean Owen Roberson and presented in full color, and Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will also provide a new painted cover.

Bonus material includes an array of new artwork, never before seen behind-the-scenes info and art, plus remembrances and tributes by renowned comic book and RPG creators including Eastman, Peter Laird, Freddie E. Williams II, Steven Cummings, Sophie Campbell, David Petersen, and many more.

“This is incredibly exciting! I am 1000% onboard to help bring this historic and original TMNT Role Playing Game series back in a truly deluxe collector’s edition that will thrill original fans and open the door for new ones,” said Eastman. “I've made all my archives available for expanded behind-the-scenes content as well as a few top-secret surprises you need to be part of.
