They 100% found what I was looking for. Appears it was AD&D related after all! City-State of the Invincible Overlord
Can’t wait to order one off eBay. This has made my year! Special thanks to everyone here also for their willingness to assist a newb such as myself.
Good health to you all!

Skimming through Combat &Tactics, I'm surprised how many of those optional rules ended up being incorporated into third edition. We had completely skipped this era of 2E entirely, and I had always assumed that 3rd edition had originated so many of these crunchy rules.

I think I'd rather face Tsathoggua...
This morning's BSOD set the tone for how the day would go. Big plans became smaller. Much smaller. Rachel's Spider Solitaire Project seems to attract chaos. Working on the cards for 1 of the 3 games in the project (Out of time!, in case you were wondering) is what caused today's blue monster.
I wanted ALL cards for ALL 3 games done today. So I could get back to Mythic Monday reports and some Friday-related shenanigans.
Instead, I have 8 more cards to do for Out of time! and nothing got done on Vines of Nineveh or Fate's Cat: Tangled Threads at all. *sigh*
Then I learned that Tim Curry had died...

These look great, and I am especially familiar with, and fond of, Harn, but these are not the RPGs I am looking for.
Going to keep looking! I’m about a third of the way through the entire vintagerpg.com blog as well. Still no luck there.

Of those, only Trivial Pursuit isn't already out by 75.
I'd be very curious whether the card game would work in 75, without the TV show and computer games to inter-promote. Quite apart from whether the manufacturing would work in the 70s.
I think the manufacturing would. I'd guarantee it for the core needs of distribution - Trading cards go back to at least the 20s, and while you might need to up the quality of the cardstock from what baseball cards usually had in the 70s that doesn't feel like an insurmountable problem. Where it gets questionable is the refractive foil they used in the earliest sets for their premium cards - But you can always use a different sort premium cards if the refractive foil wasn't around in the 70s and you still want a premium type of card. (I can't find verification of when Panini started doing shinies for their albums, but the way the article I found was written implied that 'shinies' were always part of that playground Panini sticker culture rather than coming around when I was a lad, and as I say that's the only aspect of manufacturing I'd anticipate being a problem)
The question for me on Pokemon is if the CCG needed the video games and anime to get popular, and that is... Extremely difficult to answer since by this point every aspect of the pokemon franchise seems to serve as advertising and merchandise for the other parts, and it reached that state quite quickly. It's a card game that's simple enough for kids to play it (...Although a lot of them just collect) so I don't think the game aspect suffers the same sort of problems that MTG does, but without the... All pervasive pop-culture bombardment, is there enough appeal in the designs, the artwork, and the gameplay for it to stand alone?

But if profit is the aim them possibly Pokémon.
