What else? :D I've got over 180 IPs here.

Thanks, I added Warriors to the list.

Thanks a bunch! I added Dreampark, When Gravity Fails, Nathan Never, and The Keep. I believe the Baron Munchausen RPG is based on a public domain character (like Wizard of Oz RPGs), so not included in my list. The Water Margin RPG appears to have been unlicensed and self-published (like Legend...

Theoreticians among us developed the Threefold Model (and its offshoots), which proposed that every RPG is composed of, or leans toward, one of three “corners”: 1) Drama/Storytelling/Narrative: an RPG session as a novel-like or film-like experience 2) The Game Itself: for example, the...

I would call this "Old English by way of Tolkien." It is likely that the MM author's awareness of the word "ettin" was due to its presence in Tolkien's books, in the place-names "Ettenmoors" and "Ettendales." http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Ettenmoors http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Ettendales...

Cool. Which wrestling character are you?

Brilliant! I really dig your format and your thoroughness. I prefer that WotC hire Echohawk to complete the encyclopedia and publish it as a series of (phonebook-sized) monster books, containing all the monsters which have ever appeared in the D&D Multiverse. Imagine if WotC sponsored a...

What else? What did I miss?

I found only evidence of the Exodus RPG, which was slated to be Fallout, but was stripped of its IP at the last moment. But I still added it to the list, for that reason. Thanks!

Wikipedia says 1992 for Alien3.

From doing this research, I found out that, besides the d20/OGL boom, there are three systems which especially have covered a bunch of IPs from non-RPG sources: 1) GURPS, 2) Standard RPG System (in Japan), and 3) Lester Smith's D6XD6 system, which just came out this year--it looks like he's...

Ugh, I had some formatting difficulties. Maybe I'll fix them tomorrow or later...

Here's a list of Tabletop RPG licensed settings/worlds ("intellectual properties") which began in another medium before being rendered in TTRPG form. RPGs based on "unlicensed" public domain settings (such as Alice in Wonderland, Baron Munchhausen, and Wizard of Oz) aren't included...

I'm putting together a list of fictional settings from other (non-RPG) media which have ever been officially published as a TTRPG, such as Star Wars and Conan: https://sites.google.com/site/dndphilmont/ttrpgsettings What did I miss?

Glad to see James Mishler make the list -- a great writer, loremaster, and guy.

Thanks for the Picks and the health update. Best wishes on your physical, emotional, and ideational recovery! Maybe I will take up LARPing...

semi-Gaelic? I'm no Gaelic scholar, but it looks like the author picked a quasi-Gaelic (Irish/Scottish) sounding name. "Rock man" in Irish is carraig fear. I'm not saying that is the exact wordshape he was thinking of, but "galeb dúr" does have a semi-Gaelic sound to it.

Good to hear from you. Your picks are one thing at ENWorld which I especially enjoy.

I admire this research -- really delving into the iconic vehicles of the past century's legendariums.
