There seems to be a lot of places selling that game.  Either somebody else made an RPG mod for Tribes and just had the poor luck to name it "Tribes RPG", or somebody is trying to market JI's work.

Possibly TRPG as we know of it was developed after this one in the store.

Ok, I sent off an email to the store and they told me it's not the same.  Here's the info (technically, JI can't really use the Tribes RPG name as it's (c) 1998 by this company).

I think we are probably talking about different games.

The Tribes RPG that we stock is published by an American company called Steve Jackson Games and was designed by David Brin and Steve Jackson (copyright 1998). It's only a small game that is a sort of cross-between an actaual RPG and a boardgame.

Best wishes and thanks for the info (I'll take a look at the link you sent us later),

Actually TRPG did come out in 98 I believe..

Yes I think it was the summer of 98.. I don't know it has been a long time.

So if TRPG came out before it, then they can't copywrite it..

But JI isn't selling it, because you can't sell a mod of a game without Sierra getting a big chunk out of it (It wouldn't be worth much anyway).

Not to mention everything would have to be encrypted so noone could make changes like us.

It's commercialized, they'd win.  Period.

So, does this mean we have to call this Starsiege: Tribes RPG?  Or how about: RPG mod.  Or maybe: Superdarwin RPG?

How about we continute to call it TRPG or Tribes RPG.  The Tribes in each title means different things.

Yes the title of the game is not Tribes.... It is Starsiege: Tribes..

Only Tribes 2 is just Tribes...

And frankly... That isn't much money they are selling it for.

So I guess if those developers of that game decide to come out with a sequel, they would have to be a little more creative with their name.

Seeing as Sierra owns the name "Tribes 2" I guess they would. But, I doubt that game will have a sequal.

I am playing JDoom right now, and it is so forking awesome.  It renders the doom .wad files in OpenGL or D3D, and you can also download model and weapons packs that make the game completely 3D.  Tonight I'm going to reach a level where I fight a Cyberdemon to see how it looks.

Wow, those were some nice particle/fog effects. So, what program is that that renders Quake?


*edit*
Is it me, or do the plates on the floor look bumpmapped?
