Sad ending, Dave Nalle died in 2021 of this fucking plague:

There was a half-finished "7th edition" ca. 2003:

Then a single blog post for a re-reboot in 2011, never updated again:

30. OBSCURE RPG you've played.
Modern stuff's never obscure, it's all easily searched for. Back in the day, at best indie stuff would be a samizdat zine, or posted to USENET, a mailing list, or some GeoCities page.
But I'll go slightly up from "nobody's heard of this" to "nobody's played this in 25 years": Ysgarth. It's a typical overly crunchy BRP-ish d100 game of the early '80s. At least 6 editions, and a "lite" game Oroborus which is still heavy. It's OK.
