  6. Mecha, specifically Knights of Sidonia

    Judge Dredd

    A decent Cthulhu hack, but with the proper AW approach to MCing, dealing with Threats more than ‘solving plots’. It wouldn’t feel like Call or Trail but I think it’d be great! Clocks would make for a wonderful insanity mechanic.

  7. Warehouse 13 / The SCP Foundation

    Darkened Skye (the video game adaptation of 1990s era Skittles commercials.)

    Magic: the Gathering

    Toriko, with the natural requirement that cooking and eating should be given just as much mechanical weight as fighting.

  9. I second the Warehouse 13 suggestion, another good “SyFy” show that was canceled too soon to make room for garbage.

    Something 80s themed in the style of Spirit of 77.

    The closest I’ve seen to this would be to spin Action Movie World with 80s settings, and I can picture this working well. But a dedicated 80s themed game could be fun. The playbooks could be slanted to do games in the vein of The A-Team, Airwolf, Knight Rider, and the like.

    Later sourcebooks could include the various tropes of 80s television.

    Also, Stargate SG-1.

    Codex Alera would also be good, but I think would be better suited to have its own system designed around the setting.

    Also, for laughs “Munchkin World”, your favorite card game about RPGs made into an RPG.

    The old TV series UFO and Tomorrow People, would also be ripe for an RPG.

    Another would be something like Timecop.

  16. Darrin Michelson – Turns out that there are several Persona inspired PbtA projects in the works. I don’t think any of them have reached play test yet.

    Scratch that, need to read Just a Game which has a play test package on DTRPG.

  17. OK, there’s one setting that has danger and action. Kemono Friends. You’re either an animal turned into a anthropomorphic version of your self, or a human that was cloned from some stay bit of hair or skin.

  31. John Henry Jeremy Downey​ I checked it out. It’s okay. Feels like AW wearing Star Wars clothing with Dungeon World moves.

    It’s a decent hack, but I will keep looking.

  33. Meta-aware GM-less two-layered game about D&D gamers playing a heavily hand-waved version of D&D. Classes like “The Simulationist”, “The Taleweaver”, “The Director”, “The Rule Speaker”, and “The Girlfriend” all have different point-delivering objectives within both layers of play. The D&D player which ends the night with the most points wins. The player playing that character also wins, if everyone had a good time.

  34. The hardest class to play would be the girl friend since you would have to be meta about your meta playing. Give her moves like ‘Breaking the 8th Wall’. 🙂
