What IP would you like to see as an RPG?

[Greg K]

I don't know of any I want to see. I do have several that I want to see using a different system- beginning with both GI Joe and Transformers.

The Dark Border by Paul Edwin Zimmer

There should be a Month Python TTRPG.

Cherryh's Alliance-Union plus Hani space would be cool, and is sort of overlooked as a sci-fi classic. Also something along the lines of Iain M Banks' Culture would be cool as well (yes, I own Mindjammer).

Y'know, about the only IP I can think of that I don't can't think of an RPG connected might be something like Stellaris or Galactic Civ. 4x games don't have an RPG that I can think of.

I think I'd really like one of those. But, then, I wonder how you would make this into an actual game with more than one person. Would be a really weird game I think

Naked Lunch. Lacuna almost gets there, but a real Burroughs RPG needs to include more openly aggressive LGBTQ+ content and a deeper system for pharmacology.

 

[Leatherhead]

Oh my God, this is amazing!

It's going to use the same Essence20 system that their GI Joe and Power Rangers games use. I'm looking forward to trying it out myself.

"Dark Angel" could be a fun game. Play a human experiment with animal DNA who escaped from the Manticore Project and is now living in a dystopian world (after terrorists exploded an atomic weapon in the atmosphere that fried electronics and dropped us back several decades in technology). Or swap it around and play a team of Manticore agents ordered to capture these dangerous mutants without exposing where they came from.

Rock Band.

Hear me out. The idea of playing a traveling band, playing bigger and bigger gigs, having to deal with rivals and corrupt agents... Could be a lot of fun! Somehow you would need to find a way to incorporate actual music into the game. Maybe a simple sound-mixing app that players can use to add premade tracks in order to create new songs?

You could add elements to make it more fantastical (like Scott Pilgrim vs the World), go full fantasy (Ye Olde Rocke Bande), head into the future (Cyberpunk Rock Band, aka Daft Punk), or just play it straight.

Never miss an opportunity to throw these two into the mix...
