Which canon property/setting would be good for a MU* ?

Ghost

@DarkDeleria It's a SYFY TV series.

ALSO:

Lain

Dune or 40k

Ghost

My pitch for Starfinder is that it is d20 based, we've seen Pathfinder MUs, and Starfinder is the Sci-Fi upgrade of Pathfinder.

So, in theory, it's doable.

Ominous

@Ghost Not my style of sci-fi, but I was surprised by the release and would at least like to read the book.

Level-based.

Nnnnnnnnnngh.

@Coin Blood Drive is sort of like... Dudes of Legend on bath salts. I really can't sum it up better than that.

Metal Gear Solid would be a good setting, if you could adapt it properly.

I'd write it as Solid Snake being Janus, from Goldeneye, and Brosnan Bond, in the same movie, being Liquid Snake. A soldier warhorse, betrayed in family, versus a chosen son of a military clandestine body. The key is flipping Goldeneye's heroism and villainy, to take Hollywood away and create its mortal nemesis, the epic video game.

The trick to Metal Gear Solid would be finding an appropriate regional bloc of Earth, in the right era, to integrate the theme.

Misadventure

Exilium + any other setting you desire.

D6 system based. You thought you were human, and have begun to remember you were a post biological entity, and you got your ass tossed out of Elysium. You are more than those around you, but really you just want to go home.

Add THAT to whatever else you want. It justifies a lot of things that help you survive, and the PCs be cohesive.

Did anyone mention the Dresden Files RPG or even Dresden Files, yet?

WildBaboons

Was mentioned. Currently exist in a mix of DF RPG and new fangled Fate rules at Tenebrous isles http://tenebrous.mechanipus.com/wiki/Main_Page

It is Pathfinder in space....and it isn't. There's some internal consistency problems when it comes to the Pathfinder Lore, which I love.

-Elves are traditionalists preserving their ancient ways on Castronovel, yet no magic Classes from Pathfinder are presented.
-Pathfinder Deities are still worshiped and acknowledged, but no Clerics or Paladins

It's sort of like the Pathfinder lore and conversion rules were sort of tacked on as an afterthought.

Rogue Genius Games did release a Starfinder supplement called 'The Starfarer's Companion' that converts a lot of the Pathfinder Classes to Starfinder; I highly recommend it if you're wanting a bit more out of the setting.

Still, even without the extra material, I'd join a Starfinder game without hesitation.

@Coin Would/could Blood Drive as a theme work well with something like an Atomic Highway RPG framework?

Dunno, never read that system.

I have been pining for 1920’s/30's Dresdenverse in either NY,
Chicago or LA for a long, long time now. You get the fun Dresdenverse without having to explain away or tiptoe around the big supernatural shakedowns happening during the timeline of the books, and just a super interesting place and time.

I actually have a half-baked doc on some drive or another where I started following the Fate city creation guide for 1920's LA.

@Wizz Hell, I'd be in favor of most anything in the 1920s/1930s NY/Chicago/LA. Being supernatural is a minus for me, but being Dresden another plus.

@surreality I just watched Blood Drive and find myself disturbingly interested in seeing it in MU* form. It'd be all but impossible, I imagine, unless every single player were tuned in to the bonkers tongue-in-cheek grind house aesthetic.

I was packing up old books to move to storage today and I came across a series I am a bit surprised hasn't mentioned her, though that might be due to age.
Thieves' World, compact setting, one city on the edge of an Empire, Lost of faction to plot against each other, and it is fantasy that is dark enough it makes Game of Thrones look positively bright.

Sunny

Lankhmar, city of adventure!

Bobotron

The Crow?
Underworld? Probably too WoD.
Grimm?
Once Upon A Time?
Titan AE?
RailDex?

Ganymede

ExoSquad.

Arkandel

Supernatural. It's basically just all laid there - angels, demons, werewolves vampires, Prophets, a hunter community, Men/Women of Letters, all the stuff.
