Flashlight: Dallas

In this week's Flashlight, we explore the game Dallas, based on the TV series from the 1970s and 1980s! Reilly leaves in a hot-mic moment, Jake tries to sound knowledgeable about buying horses, and neither one of us can sustain a Texas accent.

Here's the link to SPI Wargame Resources, where you can find the ruleset for Dallas if you really want to try playing it. We also mention a few other old-school TTRPGs based on the hottest IP of the early 1980s:

• Here's a MemoryAlpha article on the original Star Trek TTRPG and here's a (still-active!) forum for it.
• Here's a catalogue of the sourcebooks for the Indiana Jones TTRPG - which are apparently very hard to find today.
• Here's a review of the Judge Dredd TTRPG which is also very hard to find today.
• Here's an archive of the Marvel Super Heroes TTRPG, with a bunch of character profiles as well.
• Here's a modern review for the original Doctor Who TTRPG.
