What do you wish was made into a game?

One I thought of recently: Lone Gunman RPG. Maybe d20, maybe not. It just seems like a perfect set up for a game. Set the PCs up as a strugling independent 'newspaper,' not nessecarily the Lone Gunman, but something investigating Government conspiracies and toher odd stuff. Go from there. Throw them a new story to look into each session, spend the times between sessions 'managing' the paper, and tie it all together with some common characters/threads. Heck, you don't even need a new system/book, you could just run it on your own. But a setting book would still kick butt.

Hm. Magic: the Gathering and a non-GURPS Discworld.

You know, I just started reading Green Ronin's True20 book, and so far it sems like a really good fit for Discworld. Granted, I'm just hitting the magic section now, but I've heard it's much like Psychic's Handbook, which is a good start...

I liked the writing in GURPS Discworld, but the rules are just too complex for such a light hearted setting. True20 seems like it may be an answer, from what I've read so far.

Dan Simmons' Hyperion

Dune

Stephan Baxter's Xeelee books

Bewitched: The RPG.

 

[francisca]

Red Vs. Blue? d20

Homestar Runner Diceless RPG ('cause the cheet keeps eatin' da dice, mang!)

Galaxy Rangers d20

Thundarr the Barbarian

Something along the lines of the 20's Flash Gordon serials

X-Com!

RIFTS would make a great game.

Sorry, just can't bring myself to consider Palladium to be a game system that one can actually play.

As for Bewitched....man, I know the movie's coming, but I really wish they'd do a "Return to Bewitched" TV movie, where we could see the natural evolution of that marriage. Samantha winking her nose to change Darrin's colostomy bag, Endora wreaking magical havoc with his Rascal, etc.

I would love to see the world of Liavek be turned into a RPG...

 

[Arnwyn]

I'd like to see a new Robotech RPG, perhaps d20 based or perhaps not. Just one that's more playable than the old Palladium version. I still own all those books, though.

Heh, yeah, me too.

For me, I'd love Fuzion versions of Robotech, Macross (Plus, 7, Zero), Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Armitage III, and Dirty Pair (among others).

I would love to see Mieville's world of Bas-Lag get turned into an RPG, even just a setting book. *drools*

Chalk up another vote for Mieville. IIRC, he stated that he'd love to do a D&D monster book based on his novels, but as of yet hasn't found the time and/or publisher to actually start this.

A second set of novels I'd love to see turned into a campaign setting is Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen". Just great, sweeping, epic inspiration.
