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

[Ruin Explorer]

I do have one player who is a mad Harry Potter fan. If they ever talk me into running a Harry Potter game I'll use Ars Magica.

Will you have everyone play a teacher, a student and a house elf?

Ooh. I like that. A fresh take on the Ars Magica troupe play. Each teacher has their "teacher's pet" a la Dumbledore/Harry; Snape//Malfoy; Sprout/Neville*; MacGonagall/Hermione.

Ii wouldn't want everyone to play a house elf. Partly because, in canon, they are very limited in what they are allowed to do because, you know, the slavery. But maybe players could choose between one of magical peoples. Elves, goblins, centaurs, giants, werewolves, etc.

But I have made no plans for this as yet. It is only a distant possible eventuality. I mean... now I'm thinking about it. Thanks. Like I don't have enough half-formed campaign ideas taking up space in my head. To make room for this one I'm going to have to forget something else, like how to drive.


*I'm not sure about this one. Neville is Gryffindor, surely Sprout would pick someone from Hufflepuff.

When it comes to the Potterverse stuff, it would be better if it was done like the adventures in the Fantastic Beasts movies, rather than being stuck in a school.

And for the topic, I would like a Shrek RPG. Running around in that version of fairytaleland would be a lot of fun.

I'm not a Harry Potter fan, but lets be honest, the first to release an RPG based on it will likely have the best selling RPG of all time.

There are already a lot of names-filed-off versions out there, like Kids on Brooms. None of them have set the world on fire. I think a lot of the world has just moved on at this point.

Ravenclaw players are the ones gathering stats, biorhythm charts, and some kind of magical algorithm to predict player performance.

Or, as they call it: Moneysnitch.

Doesn't help that there have been tons of "Wizarding school"-type or potential TTRPGs/settings, whereas with videogames no-one had done a big-budget one, they'd all been obscure indies.

Speaking of which, I just discovered Spellcaster University, which looks amazing. (But I have a big enough backlog of unplayed Steam games as-is.)

I think that would depend on the individual table. I know my player would want Hogwarts all the way.

Prince Planet.



Because why not?

 

[Dungeonosophy]

A Zelda rpg (any system!) which includes an atlas which synthesizes, in a rational way, all of the maps from every Zelda game ever made. This would also necessitate futher clarity on alternate timelines.
