[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8624124, member: 5142"] Whether IPs are RPGs or not doesn't seem to matter as much, IMHO, as whether or not they are well-designed or quality ones that reflect the source material well. Some IPs have TTRPGs with designs feel like phoned-in performances or poorly mismatched to the system. I will admit that this latter point is often a matter of opinion, which often surfaces its head when it comes to adaptions of IPs to the given D&D system of the era, whether that's the d20 System or the 5e one. But I will throw out some IPs that I think are strong candidates for TTRPGs: * [B]League of Legends:[/B] Riot is expanding from its MOBA origins to collectable card games, a planned fighting game and MMORPG, and even televised media (e.g., Arcane). * [B]Divinity: Original Sin:[/B] In many respects, it already plays out as a computerized TTRPG and Larian Studios is working on Balder's Gate 3. But imagine a TTRPG based on the play systems and such in Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2. * [B]The Legend of Zelda: [/B]It's time for a TTRPG based on questing in Hyrule. [/QUOTE]
