Roll the Bones: Dream On!
What licensed property would you really like to see make the jump to roleplaying games?

The Prisoner is the first thing to come to mind. There was an excellent GURPS supplement for the Prisoner, but I would love to see it get another treatment or more Prisoner books for GURPS.

Vampire Hunter D would make an excellent roleplaying setting with it's elements of high fantasy, science fiction and horror. Characters could play various hunters, mutants or supernaturals.

It's kind of a given that Harry Potter will eventually become a roleplaying game, but it would also make my list.

They wouldn't need their own systems, but I would love to see Isaac Asimov's Robot setting or Ray Bradbury's Mars (Martian Chronicles) become a supplement for GURPS or another existing game.


My all-time favorite wish-list game that will never get made, the wish that will prove the level of my geekiness: Battlestar Galactica! I've got it all figured out. The first book would have all the rules for creating colonial warriors and other members of the ragtag fleet looking for Earth or the Battlestar Pegasus. Adventures could consist of exploratory missions to new worlds, looking for food or fuel, battles/encounters with Cylons, and first contacts with new alien races. Players could be made up of battle-groups of pilots or teams of scientists/explorers for completely different styles of game. Future supplements could include information for playing in the Thirteen Colonies of Man, "Mysticism and the Lords Of Kobol" and Earth! (Setting a game where the characters at last find earth and not making it as bad as Galactica 1980.) Maybe I'll get my wish after the new miniseries premieres on Sci-Fi channel but I'm not wagering any cubits.
