Friday Fun: Worst System For A License

DND and Greys Anatomy. Doctors of Waterdeep

Serious aside: Fae's Anatomy is legit a great game

Pride and Prejudice and Pathfinder

Really any property that doesn't revolve around violence and action is going to be a poor fit for a large swath of TTRPG systems, and any that doesn't revolve around horror or solving mysteries will flop with another large swath.

It all reminds me of the bit at the end of Waiting for Guffman:

What's the deal with weapon charts?!?

What's the deal with weapon charts?!?

And what's the deal with saving throws?! You don't save them; you don't throw them. It should be the name for hurling a coupon book at someone...

Sienfeld + Rolemaster

“That’s ROLE, Jerry! ROLE!”

“Is this encounter…DICE worthy?”

Call of Cthulu Barbie

Barbie has had so many jobs that I think she could fit in just about any RPG.

Paranormal investigator? Covered.

Okay, but what about D&D? She's a Bard.

Super heroes? No problem!

Star Trek? Believe it or not, she's got that covered too.

I mean, any rpg can be turned into a Barbie outfit, I'm sure. I'm just not sure how it translates the other direction. I feel like a Barbie TTRPG should probably center on acquiring different clothing, jobs, and dreamhouses, which is a very different core gameplay loop than most TTRPGs. But perhaps I'm missing something; I've only played with these dolls incidentally as a small child.
