What Property That Has Never Had A TTRPG Adaptation Deserves one?

[MichaelSomething]

Question for the ENW group mind in this thread...

There are a couple of "portal fantasy" RPGs, Die RPG in particular comes to mind. With a reskin (published or homebrew), perhaps it could suffice for Narnia, Neverending Story, Quag Keep etc etc. Perhaps. Or perhaps a sufficiently popular system like 5e or Year Zero Engine could suffice. Or maybe each variation of portal fantasy needs its own specific system. I use portal fantasy as an example, but this would apply across several of the properties mentioned here. Like for

So do people want a setting/adventure in an existing system? Or do people want a bespoke game for a setting/property?

Don't forget the Konosuba TTRPG

Philip Jose Farmer's 'Dungeon' series

Jack Chalker's 'Wellworld' series ( or even his ' One Million Fausts')

Peirs Anthony 'Apprentice Adept' series (I believe a Xanth RPG was made, i know they made a Xanth Board game: but IMO, the Adept series is a better RPG source)

Fred Saberhagen's Books of Sword's

Road Warrior using an RPG revision of the 80s classic 'Car Wars'

Cordwainer Smith's 'Instrumentality of Mankind/Norstrillia'

Friday the 13th TV series has proven to be a good influence on our MOTW games.

I would absolutely love to see both The Avengers and Sapphire and Steel as RPG settings. i suppose The Avengers could be done with a good Spy game with a swinging 60s supplement. Sapphire and Steel needs some good horror/timetravel/psionics rules.

Avengers/The Saint/The Persuaders-style investigation/espionage is, while not the default mode, definitely supported in the Troubleshooters.

Has anyone ever done an ENWorld RPG?

Has anyone ever done an ENWorld RPG?

I'm sure it was discussed somewhere, but then everyone decided to just cut out the middleman and go straight to arguing online about whether or not pineapple ruins game balance.

Battlestar Galactica

2007 Margaret Weiss Productions did one for the reboot series using the Cortex system.

Not the 1970s show though if that is what you are looking for.
