[QUOTE="Simon Collins, post: 4420358, member: 9860"] 1. Katharine Kerr's Deverry series. Katharine Kerr used to be editor of Dragon a long time ago. 4e as it stands would not model the world well (too 'high magic') but would love to see a well-done RPG of Deverry. Unfortunately, the author has made it clear she has little or no interest in allowing a Deverry RPG. 2. Any of David Gemmell's worlds would make great RPGs. Drenai series, of course, as stated by previous posters, but I'd love to see one of the Rigante series. Again, 4e magic would need to be severely curtailed. Note that 0one Games' early adventures were heavily influenced by Gemmell. 3. Bernard Cornwell's Arthurian series (Sharpe might make an interesting RPG too, though 'not my cup of tea'). Magic would be totally out here but great historical period that even games like Pendragon and Excalibur don't really capture that well, as they're more orientated towards Malory's vision of medieval knights. I should add books like Marion Bradley's 'The Mists of Avalon' and Mary Stewart's 'The Crystal Cave' series would also fall into this category. 4. Love to see a setting based on Tanith Lee's 'The Blood Rose', but probably too obscure to be financially viable. But definitely in my top three books of all time. 5. Might be a bit strange (and definitely not 4e!), but an RPG based on Robert Holdstock's 'Mythago Wood' series could be interesting. 6. Again, not 4e, but Charles de Lint's Newford series would make a great RPG. There are probably a few RPGs out there that could be tweaked to match this fairly easily (e.g. Changeling, Nevermore). I should note the great book by Emma Bull 'War for the Oaks' would fit in this category too. I'll also add my vote for 'The Lies of Locke Lamora' and 'The Chronicles of Prydain'. [/QUOTE]
