Quote from: Shawn Merrow;1023484An update to Stargate that covers all of SG-1, Atlantis and Stargate Universe.

I would love to see that. I'd also love to see new lines of less narrative games for Star Trek and Star Wars.

Quote from: Beldar;1023400I 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.

Dark Matter was great. I didn't even mind the several times they ripped off STTNG.

The characters were well-developed and that final cliffhanger was...

I recently finished reading Karl Schroeder's Virga series and it pretty much cries out to be an RPG setting.

Avatar the Last Air-Bender
Crimson Skies

Joe Abercrombie's "First Law" series
R. Scott Bakkers "Prince of Nothing" series

I would pay good money to see a game set in the world(s) of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" universe.

Quote from: danskmacabre;1023130Getting 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.

Yes. 1st Ed Stormbringer is a game I've a lot of fun and badwrongfun with over the years. Remember that Games Workshop hardcover back in the 80s that looked beautiful but fell apart as soon as you looked at it? I want want an exact reprint of that, except without the binding issues. Not holding my breath, alas. We'll get cold fusion flying cars and a trans atheist president first.

Quote from: S'mon;1023017I'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.

Use Lion & Dragon.

Nothing. As a general rule of thumb, I don't enjoy RPG settings directly translated from other media.

I think after Michael Moorcock spent years in a legal battle to make Chaosium cease and desist using his IP without compensation, that you probably won't see Stormbringer come back anytime soon. At least not while MM is still alive.

Lois McMaster Bujold's "World of the Five Gods". (Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, the Penric novellas, et al)

Best motherfucking fantasy I've motherfucking read in 40 motherfucking years.

I'd be sorely tempted by He-Man and the Masters of the Universe ... but I don't know that I trust anyone else to do it 'right', meaning with the precise style and flavor I want.

(And even if they did, finding players who got the franchise on the same wavelength as I did would be just as difficult, if not moreso.)

That would be pretty cool. Going back a little earlier you could add Thundarr the Barbarian or Blackstar to the Mix.

The aforementioned Dark Tower could be cool. I think I have a PDF where someone hacked it out of something d100, which would be handy since in my head canon, I place it on the same world as Hawkmoon.

Other properties I wouldn't mind seeing include X-Files, Ghost in the Shell, or some wide ranging Science Fiction covering the major works of Asimov (Robot, Empire and Foundation), Larry Niven's known Universe (yes I know Ringworld existed), and or Robert Heinlein's Expanded Universe.

I want a modern supported rendition of it. That's all. The D6 edition is fine - but you know. I wants it shiny and new.

Thornhammer · February 06, 2018, 05:01:16 PM

I'd like to see Made In Abyss, at least as a sourcebook. It has a really interesting setting.

Tamidor Winddancer · July 11, 2018, 01:03:45 PM

I would like to see something like Jonathan Strouds Lockwood series.
