It should be noted that Metagaming tried to modify TFT after Jackson
left. They created (well, Keith Gross did) the Lords of the Underearth
concept which was supposed to have many more games. In fact it only
has two (Lords of the Underearth and Dragons of the Underearth), the
first being a boardgame, the second being a microtactical combat system
for use with further modules that were never produced.
DOTU is is fact slightly modified Melee. Mind you, I assume it's
slightly modified although I haven't really looked at it carefully.
There was much made in Interplay of upcoming material (two additions
to the Air-Eaters game series, one western RPG, more LOTU stuff), and
it all disappeared when Metagaming went under.
Sich is liff...
