What Licensed RPG Do You Wish Existed But Doesn't?

[Reynard]

Simple rule: the license can be anything, but it can't have EVER had a licensed RPG.

I am going to say that I would absolutely be all in for a Savage Worlds licensed "Reign of Fire" RPG.

I'd like to see Digimon do it. I think (unlike Pokémon) it would work quite well. Play a human, play a partner Digimon that's sorta an extension of your character, go try to survive the Digital World!

 

[Alzrius]

Richard Garriott's Ultima series.

I could go for a 5e Conan campaign.

 

[Digdude]

How about a Logans Run RPG game?

 

[DeviousQuail]

A Final Fantasy ttrpg. My searching pulled up a few fan-made ones but I didn't see one that was official. Don't even bother messing around with movement and whatnot. When you are in a fight you play it out jrpg style. FFX, FFX-2, and FFXII are my personal favorites but you could make a basic system and then put out a book for each game that covers it's unique aspects. Different spells, leveling/job systems, worlds, minigames, technology, etc.

Honorable mention to Mass Effect.

Stormlight RPG

Flag on the play.

Because Gurps New Sun exists, I'll have to go with a Malazan Book of the Fallen RPG (though, I'd go for an RPG based on the unfinished Kharkhanas trilogy, too).

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

It could use Toon, Daleks & Doctors, Traveller. It needs to be light and flexible, for maximum improvisation.

Fish Police.

... Okay, seriously. Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile.

... Okay, seriously. Julian May's Saga of Pliocene Exile.

Every time I think I'm well read, I discover something new. Thanks!

I was going with the new open CC license. The old, D20 thing does not count.

I homebrewed an entire alternative psionics system for 1e based primarily off of that series.

Great choice. I also don’t think there has ever been a full adaptation of the Covenant/Land series.

I thought I was pretty clear: never licensed.

This is a tough one, but I think I have a few.

System Shock - I think it's a pretty good video game series (there were two) and it'd make for a decent TTRPG adaptation. We could call the person running the game SHODAN instead of GM.

Newsflesh - Mira Grant wrote a zombie series. ("Groan, not another zombie game, MGibster." Just you hush!) This is a world where the zombie apocalypse came and went and society is chugging along living with their new reality. Any mammal that's 40 pounds or heavier turns into a zombie so Alaska was abandoned because, you know, zombie grizzly bears. The fun thing about these zombies is the more of them there are they smarter they get. They won't help you with your algebra homework, but in large groups they can coordinate and plan simple ambushes.

That's kind of neat in that it suggests a somewhat oppositional framework for the game.

 

[James Gasik]

Godzilla. After the Legendary movies, I really wanted there to be a game where you could play investigators (perhaps MONARCH agents?) who are trying to find out the truth about the existence of the various Kaiju, and let the players have their own "pet" Kaiju that can take part in giant monster battles.

Is it okay if I want Mass Effect to be the official setting of a new d20 Future game?
