Games we want, but will almost certainly never have

All this talk about Battletech and Mech-based MUs, I’m surprised an enterprising coder hasn’t attempted to link a MU to MegaMek.

@MisterBoring who needs megamek when you have THUD

A solarpunk game where we use supernatural powers to take down corporations, heal the earth, and rebuild communities.
Or I’ll even compromise and ask for a cyberpunk game that doesn’t close within 3 months.
Game-runner of Silent Heaven, a small-town horror MU.

@Jumpscare I have, at one point, looked intensely at the Genesys code for Ares, and bought different non-Star Wars Genesys books, including the Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk setting book.

@Jennkryst The thing is, I’m not too big on combat. I like the more cerebral, emotional and espionage aspects of those settings, rather than becoming BeefHack McGunHands.

@KarmaBum said in Games we want, but will almost certainly never have and probably in every other iteration of this subject that’s ever been mentioned because KB still wants to play cowboys and yet you may notice that KB has never opened a cowboy MUSH despite several games and that is because KB wants to play cowboys on someone else’s game not my own for a change so will someone please just do this already???:
Cowboys (vs werewolves)
A Wild Imaginary West (clicky) game would also be acceptable.

We are not the same person but I want this too thanks

A Wild West(or even a Weird West) game is in the category of games I’m a little shocked don’t exist. I’m really shocked there aren’t more games set in the Old West(Wild or otherwise), Game of Thrones universe, or the age of piracy.

There are a pair of really annoying reasons for this one, at least previously.

Did Blood of Dragons close? I’ve never played it myself, but I’ve heard about it many times, as recent as last November.
-
@MisterBoring I’m not sure if it closed or not. I found it quite intimidating when I tried to apply there a while ago. It was a lot. And I didn’t necessarily mean that there are no games with those themes; I’m just shocked there aren’t more. Especially Game of Thrones. Lords and Ladies with an established world that people seem to love and enjoy? I’d think there’d be 3 or 4 of them, to be honest.
-
What about a game that took some of these more “niche” themes and put them onto one game? Like, it would have “eras” that players could make characters for. Wild West, Piracy, and Victorian, for example. Could even make them all “horror” based with WoD style or something.
My first impulse is that this might just split the player base. My hope, however, is that it might inspire someone who came there to play in the wild west era to make a pirate or victorian age character.

Some time ago, there were a pair of SuperFans (who did some legitimate work with GRR Martin, to be fair to them) who ran a Game of Thrones game. I can’t recall its name, so it may well have been spoken about already. They would regularly berate others who made Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire games, to the point where one could characterise it as bullying and harassment.
That in combination with the swift evacuation of Game of Thrones from the public consciousness after that disastrous final season is probably why we don’t see many, if any, games from that universe.

@Jennkryst Battletech Lords and Ladies is as important as the mechs. Probably more so.

a game where I get to pilot a mech suit like in Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant
whispers Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant is Lords and Ladies

This is easy. You don’t even need Princess: the Hopeful to do it. Mummy: the Curse 2e is where you have all your Immortal flavors of Mortal+… your Blood Bathers, your Imbued, your Reborn…

There was an actual oWoD/Sailor Moon game in the 90s that I briefly staffed on. And then got kicked off of for flipping out, hard, when they didn’t give me Sailor Mercury, prompting someone to actually ask how old I was (I was in the target audience for Sailor Moon)
-
@Prototart So in this Sailor Moon / oWoD crossover, did the Sailor Scouts turn into different WoD Splats? Was Sailor Moon able to use her transformation to become a Brujah?
