Converted Campaign settings I'd like to see...

Come on people...there is a biggie that would RULE:

LeGuin's Earthsea

Lankhmar d20 would rule. So would Moorcock's Young Kingdoms and Melnibone if they were done right. Of course, an official d20 Hyboria would kick major butt (as an aside, I keep losing ebay bids to pick up an old copy of GURPS Conan, someone email me if you have a copy you want to get rid of).

This is utterly wishful, but I've been thinking about what novels/series I'd like to see as a d20 campaign setting, namely....

  • The Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton
I've done this with Hero System and it went pretty well. I had so many notes after reading all the books in a week. I also noticed a few continuity issues for the first time, though nothing serious. It would take a good amount of work to do this for d20, I suspect.
 


A lot of great suggestions on this list!

I would add:

Larry Niven's Ringworld

Jack Chalker's Warden Diamond series would be fun--you could have different mechanics for the four different planets....

L. Frank Baum's Oz - Heck, just a monster book of Oz creatures would be great. L. Frank had a lot of weird ideas. :) I lurked on a pbem, where the characters went there. Of course, Munchkinland was one big hysterical in-joke. Eventually, the tin man got recylced into beer cans.

J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter. Surprised I didn't see this on the list yet (or did I miss it). Great for younger gamers and adults, too.
 

I think the two settings I would like to see the most would be:

Steven Brust's World - the Dragaera (sp.?)

and

Dave Duncan's 'The King's Blades' World
 

Several people have mentioned Necroscope. Personally i think Necroscope would be fairly easy to Homebrew with the Call of Cthulhu rules. Basically you have secret agents fighting the supernatural in a real world setting with some cross dimensional crossovers and lots of ghosts. Besides which it would be fairly appropriate considering Lumley is, at heart, a writer following in the footsteps of Lovecraft.
 

Just thought of one more:

Kim Newman's alternate earth, where Dracula is real and was not killed by Harker + van Helsing et al. Detailed in the books Anno Dracula (where Dracula marries Queen Victoria in the 1880s) and The Bloody Red Baron (where Dracula is leading the German war effort in WWI).

Lots of historical figures show up in these books, either as humans or vampires. Lets Newman mix up Edgar Allen Poe in WWI, etc.
 

I am shocked that WotC hasnt done the MtG world for D&D. Not that I want it, I am just shocked they havent done it.
