Sadly, you're probably right....

There was a list member some time back that
 looked into acquiring the TFT
rights.  He had some resources at his di
sposal, but he'd have had to get a
bank check in the amount he was willin
g to offer, and Thompson would either
give a yes or no with no further ne
gotiation possible.  Given the very
limited appeal of such a re-release
, he decided it wasn't worth the aggravation.

I don't think a kickstar
ter could possibly help in this situation.  The
closest we'll probably 
come is the Dark City series of games.
