D&D (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

[Morrus]

For 5E? Nothing, particularly. I prefer bespoke systems for games.

April 1 jokes aside, they announced not too long ago that they are aiming to do with 5E what they have been doing with M:tG -- have crossovers with other licensed IP. I don't think we have any actual details beyond that (correct me if I am wrong, please), but as it is going to happen here is the question:

What licensed IP -- movies, books, games, comics, whatever -- do you want to see given the 5E (presumably 2024) treatment by WotC? What form (dice, minis, setting book,adventure, map pack, etc) would you want it to take?

As a corollary: what IP would you absolutely NOT want to see WotC do for 5E in this initiative? Why? Who would do it otherwise?

For my part, i am not sure "want" is the right word but I still think that an official 5E version of Star Wars would sell a stupid amount, more than any previous Star Wars RPG.

I would like to see another 5e version of Star Wars too, but I don't want WotC anywhere near it.

Yet they are coming anyway.

Just answered the question you asked.

Everytime I buy an RPG based on an IP I end up never playing it. I get Canon Paralysis. I'm not interested IPs ported to 5e or any other system. I prefer new original settings.

Gregory Maguire's World of Oz seems to be right up Wizards of the Coast's alley.

 

[Lakesidefantasy]

Harry Potter seems to be a good fit.

Oh yeah, Sword Art Online is one I would actually like to see them do, and they'd probably do it well.

These are interesting but not answers to the question.
