The old JD game was great, and is pretty much the best comic book game ever made. It's a simple card game, but it captures the spirit of the books. And it's hilarious. Bust Judge Death for smoking. I can't see FFG doing it, particularly since MARVEL HEROES was a failed attempt to incorporate some of its ideas...and if they messed with the Brian Bolland artwork, I'd be pissed.

Hey Brad, you heard about the new JUDGE DREDD picture they're making? Apparently it's going to be the real deal this time...the DNA Films/28 DAYS LATER team is on it. Haven't heard if Danny Boyle is directing, but damn, that would be awesome. Supposedly it's based on the Judge Death story. FFG should take note.
I certainly have! I'm very much looking forward to it. More than I am to Watchmen, anyway...
How big is Judge Dredd in the States anyway? I'd say the character was a household name over here, but is it just known as a shitty Stallone movie over there?
I can't see FFG doing it, particularly since MARVEL HEROES was a failed attempt to incorporate some of its ideas...
I understand what you're saying, but I still think it'd be a really wasted oppotunity, as Marvel and 2000AD are thematically very different...but try telling that to the finance department, I guess.

I would have liked to see more done with Doom. I think a great idea would be to release scenario books, for both Descent and Doom. Just like hundred odd page hardbacks stuffed with quests/mini-campaigns. The costs would be minimal and the interest high.
This is something I have been advocating for Descent, especially for RtL. Just release a 100 dugeon deck, 100 card encounter deck, and an accompanying quest book. That would sell like nobody's business.

I really hope FFG does amazing things with Middle Earth Quest.
I'd love a Star Trek CDG as well, because you can't do Trek right without politics and diplomacy. Any Trek game where the Federation aggressively tries to expand it's empire through force annoyes me, unless its something like the Starfleet Universe from ADB.
I wonder if the FedCom campaign book will ever see the light of day.
I like Stallone's JD flick.

1. Which license would you seek for Fantasy Flight's next game design?
Fables the comic series
2. Which existing FFG game would you select to get another expansion?
Hmm I dunno, they almost all get plenty of love in the expansion dept. I'd say Marvel Heroes or War of the Ring, but technically those are Nexus games. Maybe Fury of Dracula? That's got no expansions.
3. Which existing FFG game would you re-work for an improved new edition?
Marvel Heroes if they could swing it, but again, that's a Nexus game. Maybe a new version of Warcraft (not World of ...). I hear the original is pretty crappy. Give it the Starcraft treatment.
4. Which game not yet available in the U.S. would you try to get distribution rights for?
Dorn maybe? Does that have distribution yet?

Anthrax probably did more to popularize JUDGE DREDD in the US than that awful Stallone picture (which I watched without sound when I was locked up for that altercation with The Barrister). At Gamefest, somebody looked at my copy of the GW game and said "Oh no! I didn't know they made a game based on that movie!" if that tells you anything about 2000 AD literacy in the US.

Trek CDG might be even better with the multiple factions and very different player powers, as long as you could think of a way to do both straight fighting *and* Federation style diplomatic efforts in the same game.
I guess it depends on what era you want it to be set in?
I'd go for original trek, I think you could justify a little bit more fighting than if you did Next Generation.
Klingons, Romulans, and Federation would make for some fun times.

Imagine have a team of "villains" raiding a castle and fighting generic men-at-arms, crossbowmen, etc.
Sure it'd be a lot of plastic, but the "enemy" figures could be used in regular Descent. It's funny Road to Legend has clearly human Lts, but there are no human "monsters" at all in the game (wizards don't count). Where are the mercs armed with swords and axes, etc?
The overlord deck could even be really similar. I see no reason why a well guarded castle couldn't also have "traps."
Really though I'd love to see an expansion for Descent that was just scenarios. A big book of scenarios.
I'd buy a character only expansion or monster only expansion if it was in the Neighborhood of $20 or so.

I just had a small orgasm after reading that.
