 That's the thing, though -- "AS GOOD a chance as anything new". Not a 
 significantly BETTER chance. There's little there worth paying any 
 untoward price to obtain. A brand new system has as much chance of 
 catching on as a revived TFT would, so why pay for the rights to TFT?

I agree there. TFT is still a wonderful system. A game doesn't have to be 
"current"
to be fun. But by the same token, there are many fun games out there. I love 
TFT for 
the memories I have playing it. I love TFT for the simplicity of its game 
machanics. I love TFT for many things. But I love many other games for much 
the same reason. There are new games coming out all the time. Most lean toward
complicated time consuming game systems. With GURPS I found myself preparing 
for 2 weeks for a game that would
last 4-6 hours. My interest are now with games that take very little prep 
time. Games like TFT had me building a small
adventure in less time than it took me to run it. Thats what I miss most 
about todays games. There is a change coming though. Check out the game Guy 
is so proud of. He's proud of it for a reason. It's a wonderfuf system. 
It has all the simplicity of TFT with the scope of GURPS. All the positive 
traits I listed above toward TFT equally apply
to this fantastic game system. I'll always love TFT. That goes without 
saying. But bringing it back really isn't needed if you find a game that 
fills the gap TFT left behind.
