So regardless of what form a new version of Modern takes... what sort of campaign guides would you like to see?

Personally I have wondered for some time why WotC (a subsidiary of Hasbro) never came up with a CG for G.I. Joe (a Hasbro Product).
That's what I'd like to see... and if they re-do Future, I'd like to see a Transformers CG as well (another Hasbro Product).

What do you guys want?

We already have 2 classic proposals. I'll add a third:

Super Heroes & Mutants

Remember the «Spectaculars» that never were...

Cyberpunk.

I'll see Dave's cyberpunk and raise him a Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Wizard's is big enough to license some branding, I think. And who does it better than Shirow?


Also, since we are wishing... I would like to see TMNT with the After the Bomb scenarios. While the Moreau were a nice start in Modern the original Eastman and Laird TMNT that Palladium was lucky enough to land was great gaming.

"GI Joe: The RPG" would be awesome, and with the new movie coming out, wouldn't it be a good time to roll out the game?

Fight the rise of Cobra, thwart Destro's plans, and of course, the Baroness.... YOWZA!!

Marvel Universe has a huge fan base, with movies coming what seems to be yearly. With X-men Origins: Wolverine on the horizon, wouldn't it be a great time to roll out a game?

Make a new mutant training at the Xavier school...SWEEET

Transformers is about to release movie #2, wouldn't it be a great time to roll out a game?

A new arrival autobot fighting the decepticons alongside Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide... SIGN ME UP!!!

I got the Ideas for these both from previous posts, and by looking at Hasbro's brand list. All of these are Hasbro products or have Hasbro Licensing.

Not only do I think they could have great potential for games, but I also think with proper marketing, they could be great sellers. Put an ad in the theatres along with the movie. I know of at least 10 teenage girls who are going to see GIJoe, simply because Channing Tatum is in it. I know those same 10 saw Transfrmers because of Shia.

Just Saying....

You know, as much as I like Ghost in the Shell, I would rather the cyberpunk book either be generic (ala Cyberscape) or brand new. I'm just not a big fan of most TV/Movie turned RPG products. Even the ones I do like, such as Saga, I tend to use only for their rules. The fluff gets thrown out the window. I just like building my own Modern campaigns...

But that is me.

I think anything Palladium has done is off limits for WotC without some legal wrangling... I know that we can't post our own conversions from palladium to D20 on these boards due to legal issues...
Too bad really since TMNT and Robotech were two of my favorites...

I would like to see an anime setting book.
One that covers the subgenres from GITS to Gunsmith Cats, and Inuyasha to Evangelion.

Hell yeah! That would be awesome. Sergio Leone was the man. I would personally include some of the more midern westerns like Unforgiven in the mix too though.

I think this is an excellent idea. You could run anything from traditional action pieces to things like Wild Wild West (Robert Conrad is the MAN) to even weird stuff like the Gunslinger series. There is alot of material to work from as well since it was a turbulent time with many changes, both socially and economically.

Why thank you! For a little extra flavour, you could also throw in a few ideas from a post-apocalyptic setting.

You could play a Post-Apocalypse Zombie Survival Western! :D
