Supra-Sentinels

Does anyone remember this Judges Guild advertisement? It appeared in issue #80 (December 1983) of Dragon.

A quick search online reveals that the game was never released, owing to the financial troubles of Judges Guild in the mid-1980s. As a connoisseur of unreleased RPGs, I'm genuinely curious what the game would have been like, both rules-wise and in terms of presentation. JG products were always quite cheaply made but they often overcame these physical flaws but packing a lot of creativity into their newsprint pages. Of course, it's one thing to produce supplements or adventures for someone else's roleplaying games and another entirely to publish your own. I suspect Supra-Sentinels wouldn't have got much traction compared to games like Champions or the soon-to-be-released Marvel Superheroes, but who knows?

  1. Looks like it failed to be released twice. One of the three? authors claimed to have it in their basement, and that “Mr. Bledsaw is definitely interested in reviving it. So I'll just have to track down my co-authors (who I haven't seen in over a decade) and we'll see what happens.”

    But that was in 2014.
