That's a board game, not a TTRPG. Probably because of AI it's been misreported as an RPG by some sites.

Time Bandits. It's almost too perfect - the heroes are an adventuring band of thieves, with the constant threat of the Supreme Being behind them to get the players moving, and you can just make a series of different fun historical heist adventures and link them together with time holes.

Pirates of Dark Water or Thundarr, but if I'm speaking for my kids, probably One Piece.

Pirates of Darkwater DID have a systemless release decades ago.

The Japanese series, Garo.

Garo

This works well because the setting(s) have established so many other Makai.


That's the hard part with this kind of topic. Just because it was an engaging property doesn't mean it will provide ample hooks for players...

Pitch Black/Riddick

It's kinda setting sparse, though?

Indeed. Though, I think it would make a fun one shot survival sim kind of game. Cinematic FL mode comes to mind.

True. At best, the Makai could serve as a Paladin subclass. Order of the Wolf, a paladin that leans toward the Ranger or Druid class.

THE RULES: No game that has a CURRENTLY PUBLISHED licensed TTRPG -- so no Lord of the Rings, no Marvel, etc.

Since it wasn't listed.

I think Killjoys would work well.
Midkemia, depending on when, has opportunities.

I recognize most of those words....

The Dragon Prince series, if it hasn't been mentioned already. The elves in that series remind me of the elves from the Forgotten Realms setting.

Dragon Prince Forgotten Realms
Sun Elves Gold Elves
Moon Elves Silver Elves
Star Elves Mithral Elves
Sky Elves Avariel or Winged Elves
Sea Elves Sea or Aquatic Elves
Earth Elves Rockseer Elves*

*I am not sure if the 2e Rockseer Elves ever appeared in the Forgotten Realms. But they were only elven subrace that had some kind of connection to Earth that I am aware of.
