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

I'd always wondered what a TTRPG inspired by David Bowie would be like...
Like this, maybe?

some that could be interesting, but not that I necessarily would want.

Shannara series (though, only limited to the maximum of High Druid of Shannara Trilogy, though even then it started to lose it's luster. More like the original three books, First King and Heritage and that's it).

Battlefield Earth (yes, it's L. Ron Hubbard, yes, he's connected to Scientology, but heck, I really like this novel and think it's a great book)

A new Amber RPG book.

A new Terran Trade Authority RPG with a reprinting of all the original books!

An RPG based on the Land (of Thomas Covenant)

Is there a He-man/Shera RPG currently?

Also

A Thundercats RPG...

Not a single one, I feel I could put most franchises as setting in any of the common genre specific RPG systems. Not that I have the desire anyway.
 



Mass Effect would be the obvious choice for me.

It's kind of bizarre that it doesn't have a TTRPG already, despite a lot of fan attempts. Sadly most of the fan attempts decide to randomly abandon major elements of the setting/lore/technology for reasons unclear, and/or have pretty terrible rules. I made an attempt with Cortex Prime, which worked pretty well, but I think it would have worked a lot better with a system specifically designed for Mass Effect. It has a well-developed setting with multiple time periods and areas within that setting which could be used, clear species and classes, plenty of foes, well-established and very "game-able" technology, and so on, so just seems like a no-brainer.

It did get a boardgame this year, which was bizarrely misreported as an "RPG" a bit (I blame AI) but still no actual RPG. I'd rather no RPG than it being given some clumsy existing system which was ill-suited for it though.
