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.

The beloved, out-of-print Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles role-playing game and its sourcebooks are sought-after collector items that have enthralled generations since its release in 1985 as one of the first licensed TMNT products. 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. Stay tuned!”

  1. I'm pretty stoked about this. One of the only Kickstarters I've seen where I'm determined to do whatever I need to in order to max out my backer level...!

  2. I really hope that Erick Wujcik's awesome writing tone will survive in the new version, he was always able to get me excited/interested in whatever his topic was. We lost him too soon.
