What should be turned into a RPG?

Young Indiana Jones would be a good revamp for that game, creating a gateway for younger players.

Doctor Who...The Dresden Files

Chaosium did one around 1984 or so. It wasn't bad, unless you wanted to run something that wasn't set on the Ringworld, then you were kind of on your own. Nonetheless I recall it as being pretty good (provided you like BRP, which I do, though not as much as I did at the time).

Ringworld seems like a great little game. I've not run/played it yet, but I like the fact that it actually breaks down the process of describing a new species into game mechanics.

It seems like a game that would be fun to play with pure scientists... though I'd be a bit intimidated to try to run it for engineers! Now, if the person running the game had a good physics/engineering background and was reasonably adroit with the other sciences it could be a fine game indeed.

Certainly Ringworld could be run according to the more common tropes of role playing games, but I think that would miss some of its potential. The focus on scientific exploration opens up a whole new field of challenges for the hapless castaways.

No real info on that Doctor Who game though.

Yeah, unfortunately. Cubicle 7 makes one of my favorite games, Victoriana, which I'm using right now. If it's anything like Victoriana, the Doctor Who RPG from them will probably be neat and full of good story ideas, but a little complex rules-wise.

Man, if I keep promoting Cubicle 7 games, I'm going to be accused of viral marketing! They really do have a fun, narrative-focused idea of how RPGs should work, though.

But I'd be interested in seeing a Malazan Book of the Fallen game.

The day they come out with a Malazan Book of the Fallen sourcebook, it will be the day of the "HUZZAH!" heard across the world.

I'd also like to see a sourcebook for Les Chroniques de la Lune Noire, a pretty good serie of french graphic novels.

Anomander Rake would totally be the new Drizz't!

It would amuse me greatly, if it turned out to have gone like this: GURPS -> novels -> GURPS.

Magic: the Gathering.

...and we have a winner! This would be huge. Man, just thinking about all the possibilities..all the worlds, Ravnica, Alara, oh my!
But as we know, this will never happen.

...and Magic: the Gathering.

This!!!

This would pretty much be a guaranteed purchase for me. I've often wondered why they haven't done already.
