Magnetic Press has announced a Planet of the Apes rpg.
On the good side, it's written by Andrew Gaska, who wrote the Alien rpg, one of my favorites. Also, it's explicitly based on the old movies, not the new ones - I really don't like the reboot series, but loved the 1968+ movies back in the day.
But I'm hesitant because as much as I liked the movies I don't really see what you can do with it. The promo says you can play as apes, which - well, I don't know what sort of campaign you're going to get out of playing Dr. Zaius:
And playing as a human astronaut seems like it would just re-run the movies. Nonetheless I'm optimistic, Gaska did such a good job with Alien that maybe this one will be fun!
