What RPG License Would you Want to See Right Now?

So, is there some tv show, movie, comic, novel, etc that you would particularly want to see in RPG format at this time? Why?

Dead by Daylight would be an interesting adaption. Basically it's a video game where one player plays a serial killer and the others play victims.

Why? I have no idea, other than I have a co-worker that constantly talks about it and was fresh in my mind.

More Serenity. Before Cortex+ Hack (whatever it's called) ruined it. See Firefly.

I would like to see SPACE: 1889 as a TV show. But that is the reverse of what you were asking.

I'd like a 5e D&D based adaptation for Game of Thrones, much the same thing AiME did with 5e for Middle Earth. I have the A Song of Ice & Fire RPG books but I'm too lazy to learn their house system.

Of course they would need to add lingering injuries and change the hit point by level mechanic - start with CON+class bonus and add +1 per level say, which is about what Mongoose did with d20 Starship Troopers. No GoT character has 200 hit points, unless they're a dragon.

I've been looking at doing something similar, replacing the Death Save with a roll on the Lingering Injury Table from the 5e DMG. As for hp, I'm gently, gently easing my guys into the idea that after 9th level they'll only be getting their con bonus in hp.

Nice thought! I'd also like to see 5E done in other settings or eras, such as 5E Space, so that I could run my own scifi campaigns without having to go rebuild the rules for the future instead of for fantasy.

Brotherhood of the Wolf. Apart from adapting it within a generic RPG (GURPS or SW), the closest game that would probably fit it is Colonial Gothic.

Getting the Stormbringer stuff back in print would be nice.
I really like the 2nd ed stuff really, so it wouldn't be hard to revisit that work, spruce it up a bit.
It could be a worthy KS, which I would support.

James H. Schmitz's SF works---Federation of the Hub, Vega, Karres, etc.: classic SF stories that make me want to play in his worlds!

I would really like to see a decent adaptation of Farscape. I know there was a D20 splat, but I don't really count that. We have lots of gonzo fantasy, but we don't have a lot of gonzo semi serious but bizarre scifi. Long live Dominar Rygel.

I also really enjoyed Dark*Matter the TV series. It felt a lot like Farscape, but a lot more human centered.

An update to Stargate that covers all of SG-1, Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

This. A thousand times this.

I'd like to see a proper BPRD / Hellboy / Mignola-verse RPG.

I think a Tarzan RPG could also be fun.
