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

[Eilathen]

Lots of good answers, so I have two bad ones:

1) I know I may get beat up on this one, but I would love to see that setting bible that was supposedly written for Rebel Moon. I know the movie had its problems, but I thought it was overall kind of neat.

You are not alone. I also thought that RM would be quite gameable as a setting.

As for other properties...man, where to beginn?!

• Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson
• Prince of Nothing - R. Scott Bakker
• Sunsword - Michelle West
• Arcane - NF Series
• Alchemy of Souls - NF Series
• Berserk - Anime/Manga
• Claymore - Anime/Manga
• Echoes of Empire - Mark T. Barnes

I could go on. I have so many worlds that i'd like to game in from all kinds of media...books, comics, pc games, console games, TV Series etc.

If only the people behind those properties had realistic expectations as to the amount an RPG can make. Oh well...

Thundarr the Barbarian. I didn't know there was a DVD set available. (But of course there was.) I'd be a little afraid to get it as I'm sure reality doesn't match my memories.

The Dark Border, et al., by Paul Edwin Zimmer. Interesting series, a little frustrating until I realized that, after the first two books, they were published in reverse chronology.

Curse of Chalion, et al., by Lois McMaster Bujold, as mentioned above. Probably the best conception of actual gods and their relationship with mortals that I've come across.

As long as you can suspend the disbelief for things like seeing a 2000 year old helicopter still working when found, it's all good!

This is also why I prefer light, generic systems. No need to learn a new system for each property.

Yeah, there’s a heap of ’70s and ’80s cartoons I’d love to see as RPGs.

He-Man. She-Ra. Pirates of Dark Water. Thundarr. Dinosaucers. Dino Riders. C.O.P.S. Sectaurs. Thundercats. Silverhawks. Tigersharks. Galaxy Rangers. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriff. BraveStarr. BlackStar. Galtar and the Golden Lance. Inhumanoids.

Richard Garriott's Ultima series.

Richard Garriott's Ultima series.

This all day long. A whole continent in my homebrew setting is based on Ultima.

 

[Joshua Randall]

Lord of Light (the book by Zelazny)

Might use the (par)Agon system for it given its mythic / gods-run-amok nature.

I’d really like to see a Naruto TTRPG, or at least something similar.

I’d really like to see a Naruto TTRPG, or at least something similar.

Preferably with the Shinobi being represented by a roguish version of the Bladesinger Wizard.

In the meantime, there is this homebrew setting from D&D Wiki that was based off of Naruto:

Richard Garriott's Ultima series.

Ultima 1 is easy - Most of the code is in BASIC (with some machine code routines for graphics), so one could go through said code and extract the maths for character gen, spellcasting, and combat...
