D&D (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

[Reynard]

ETA: here is one of the articles that came out earlier this year indicating a "Universe Beyond" style push for D&D.

April 1 jokes aside, they announced not too long ago that they are aiming to do with 5E what they have been doing with M:tG -- have crossovers with other licensed IP. I don't think we have any actual details beyond that (correct me if I am wrong, please), but as it is going to happen here is the question:

What licensed IP -- movies, books, games, comics, whatever -- do you want to see given the 5E (presumably 2024) treatment by WotC? What form (dice, minis, setting book,adventure, map pack, etc) would you want it to take?

As a corollary: what IP would you absolutely NOT want to see WotC do for 5E in this initiative? Why? Who would do it otherwise?

For my part, i am not sure "want" is the right word but I still think that an official 5E version of Star Wars would sell a stupid amount, more than any previous Star Wars RPG.

I could see a Star Wars (SW) or even a Pirates of the Caribbean now that they have introduced more with the musket and pistol. I might not like guns in my D&D, but a pirate theme might work.

If I'm looking to cross over something I need a campaign book (or box set would be better). Battle maps are also needed to be cool, such as a map of a pirate ship where you are fighting or an ice cave on Hoth to fight a yeti. I feel the maps give more feel or flair. I do not need more dice or a DM screen or a comic to go with things.

I'd back this up. I'd love to see a Port Royal blood and plunder Black Sails sort of port direction over Disney; but yeah pirates!

I would like to see:

• Song of ice and fire
• Mad Max
• Earthsea
• (Birthright and Dark Sun are IP - owned by WoC OK )
• Sandman or the DC Vertigo universe (Constantine and so on)

I don't want:
- any m:tg setting anymore

I used to want Dark Sun or Birthright, but after recent releases - I don't want WotC within 100 yards of either.

Honestly, I don't want any books, movies, television series, or comcs that I like to be done by this design team using 5e. I would prefer they be done using one of a few other systems

Doofenschmirtz is the new Bargle.

Ones I think would work for 5e (at least for an E10 take on it):

Glen Cook's Garrett Files/Tunfaire (Setting Book and City Map)
Wesley Chu's Art of... series (Setting Book)

Bollywood. I mean there are some serious Fantasy style movies and all that have come out of the India cinema.
