Perpbusters!

Lest I get too far ahead of myself, I am considering Judge Dredd for my next x via Ghostbusters conversion. When EN Publishing ceased publication of Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 A.D., I considered coverting it to a number of different systems, but none of them felt quite right (q.v.). Savage Worlds would be too labor intensive, Sherpa is too obscure, ACE! RPG is too silly, and The D6 System 2nd edition will be much bulkier than I had hoped it would be. The answer, clearly, is to convert it to Ghostbusters: A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game for maximum efficiency and fun. Unless I get sidetracked, it will probably be my next project after Doctor Who via Ghostbusters.

Judge Dredd D6

EN Publishing's custodianship of Judge Dredd role-playing, Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 A.D., has come to an end, and once again I am left with something that will become more of a source book than a rule book because I have decided that instead of clinging to rules that are "unofficial" anyways, I shall merely convert it to something I like better: The D6 System 2nd edition, ACE! RPG, Sherpa, Savage Worlds, or perhaps my own system (still in progress). As much as I approve of Judge Dredd going D6 dice pool, I think the W.O.I.N. adaptation is too cumbersome. Judge Dredd role-playing ought to be fast, intuitive, and exciting. I think it can be made better with minimal effort, and I can still use the Games Workshop and EN Publishing books as the excellent source books they are.

News at 6-Sided: Judge Dredd Clearance Sale

I just learned that EN Publishing's rights to publish Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 A.D. expire tomorrow, the last day of February. Until the end of the 28th (GMT, I assume), most of the related material will be discounted at the EN Publishing Judge Dredd RPG clearance sale and at the DriveThruRPG Judge Dredd RPG sale, after which none of it will be available again.

It's very short notice, and I know it's unlikely anyone will learn of it via Decidedly Six-Sided, but I think it's my duty to spread the word for the sake of fellow Judge Dredd fans who are also D6 gamers.
