What Property Do You Still Want to See Get a TTRPG Adaptation

[Argyle King]

The Smurfs

Seems like a natural fit for a ttrpg of some sort.

Mad Max is my pick whenever this comes up. I'm not even exactly that big of a fan, it's just that it's the most iconic post-apocalyptic setting which most others are cribbing from. The movies also play out more like ttrpg games than a lot of franchises, with lots of quest-givers, resource management, and isolated localities.

There is one which was kickstarted and, from what I've read in the updates, is coming out now.

P:S.: I haven't backed the campaign, so I don't know anything about the game itself.

My usual suspects:

Ben Bova’s Grand Tour
Harry Turtledove’s Darkness saga
Kurt R. A. Giambastiani’s Cloudfall
Kathrine Rusch’s Retrieval Artist
Julian May’s Pleistocene Exile saga
David Brin’s Uplift saga
Clive Barker’s Imajica
Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere
C. J. Cherryh’s Foreigner

(Admittedly, some of these could easily be done as campaign settings for existing (non-toolbox) RPG systems.)

I had no idea.

Since I picked something that already exists, I'll need to change my answer

There should be a ttrpg for Russell Crowe's Fightin' 'Round the World.

GURPS Uplift is out of print, but it was officially licensed by Brin. Fortunately, it's rather easy to come by via secondhand channels. Gaiman's Neverwhere had a fan adaptation done with the author's permission.

Didn’t know about those.

Julian May’s Pleistocene Exile saga

This one would be interesting as a TTRPG IMO.

*It takes place in Earth's distant past (the Pliocene era) but contains alien technology as well as 22nd century Earth contraband tech.
*It has psionics in place of magic.
*It has a couple of D&D-like races in it. Tanu (Elves), Human/Tanu hybrids (Half-Elves), Firvulag (Goblinoids, Dwarves and Giants) and of course, Humans.

The thing that amuses me is that I loved the basic setting May came up with- with some of the things you noted- but I didn’t particularly care for the series itself and didn’t finish reading it. But it always struck me as a setting ripe with adventure hooks for an RPG.

I actually read the entire series and Julian May's The Galactic Milieu series several years ago. The latter would make a good Science Fantasy TTRPG setting.
