What licenses are left?

Licensed TTRPGs are having a boom this last decade--Modiphius and Free League alone have swept up 99.999% of modern pop culture, with Renegade hoovering up the rest. Star Wars is with Edge, Star Trek with Modiphius, Doctor Who with Cubicle 7. There's even a Tom Clancy game coming. Books, movies, TV, video games, cartoons, it's all getting the TTRPG treatment.

So, what licensed TTRPG would you like to see which isn't currently being done? For me, I'd love to see a new James Bond TTRPG (I have the old one from the 80s, though I've never played it). And what system would you imagine it being powered by? Or a custom system?

There's a Log Horizon tabletop RPG that was published in Japan, that I'd like to see translated to English and published. There's some interesting concepts from the anime and novels that I'd like to see how they translate to a tabletop RP environment.

Given how much Pokemon merchandise is available I’m surprised that we haven’t gotten a Pokemon TTRPG yet.

Hamilton's Commonwealth, Stross' Accelerando, Reynolds' Revelation Space, Sterling's Schismatrix ...

Does anyone currently have the Game of Thrones license?

I was going to say Final Fantasy, but apparently there's an FF XIV ttrpg...huh.

I don’t think so. I think Green Ronin’s expired a bunch of years ago.

Ever since Dan Schkade has been killing it with the Flash Gordon daily strip I've been wishing for an RPG set in his version.

That's what I recall, as well. May be worth another look given the current shows...

Mad Max

Red Dawn (Free League just use the Twighlight 2000 rules and make us a sweet sandbox in Colorado set in the mid 80s already).

Smokey and the Bandit (That other movie from the summer of 77 gets all the TTRPG love but we all know this is the actual best).

Fast and The Furious (i personally dont want this game but its a big license and you can use the car rules from Smokey and the Bandit and port them over).
