That would be amazing, except you would have to wait for one person at a time to have a showdown.

But I really like the idea

Pit People, trying to survive and thrive in a crazy world with raiders, giants, unicorns, healer cupcakes, and more.
Hell if the GM can pull it off he could even do the whole jackass narrator that messes with the party at every opportunity while berating them.

Broken empire trilogy:
Post nuclear war, Europe descends back to feudal society in the ruins of the modern world, with random pieces of modern tech still working. Also magic spilled over from somewhere.

Mega Man Battle Network

Dynasty Warriors. I really think there is a niche that can be filled of "massive amounts of slaughter in combat" with an RPG, but few RPGs can even get close to a number as small as 50 combatants.

How would one go about doing a Bakuman setting?

Dark Souls would not, in fact, make a good tabletop RPG. It doesn't mix well with the concept of a party.

Ok, hear me out on this one: take the design of one of our Speculative Evolution system and apply it to GURPS, Hero, M&M, Savage Worlds, Risus, or whatever universal generic RPG floats your goat's bloated stoat. Start at the single-celled stage and work your way up to buy your way up the evolutionary chain.

Halfway through you switch over to a skirmish Wargame for the tribal era, then a full on Wargame for the global dominance era.

After all of that you switch back to the rpg with a higher tech-level, and from there you go through the history of the dominant sapient species(winner of the wargames) before finally arriving at the space age.

On this same note, Skies of Arcadia.

Samurai Jack could be fun to run in, too.

Magi Nation would be cool if you could figure out a system that wasn't just "use your deck." Didn't the Gameboy game have a JRPG-esque to it, or was it a card game in Gameboy form?

Everyone should read Tomo-Chan. It's one of those romance comedies that is actually well-written, and every character is likable in some way or other.

>>52258092
It's also like any other romance comedy in that it never progresses.

I can't figure out if it would be better to run as a mundane murder mystery featuring Immortals, or a bombastic high octane heist game ala Edward and Miria.

Do both. Half the charm of Baccano! was the inconstant tone, oscillating between using immortality as a tool to inflict horrible grotesque torture and carefree bumpkins so aloof they don't even realize they haven't aged in 60 years.

SCP and Transmetropolitan are the first to come to mind

The Craft Sequence. Legal drama set in a modern fantasy world where wizards are lawyers, spells are contracts, and souls are money.

The power gap between the wizards and mundanes could be hard to overcome, but I'd love to play a game there regardless.

The party could be any mix of Martial artists, Giant Marionette Puppet operators, or people who have weaponized circus acts like juggling, animal taming, knife throwing, you name it. And not only that but your party can incorporate the Quasi-Immortal humans known as Shirogane.

Their enemies are a menagerie of clockwork automaton that want to spread a fatal disease throughout the population in the vain attempt to make their creator laugh. Beings originally meant to entertain turned into twisted clowns and puppets. They can also disguise themselves as human until they crack open their torsos or extend their arms to reveal their many hidden weapons.

Wuxia in the post-apocalyptic future with a healthy dose of the old west and the antebellum south

The areas between the Barons territories are home to Nomads roving bandit clans eeking out a living preying on those foolish enough to travel the old highways and byways. No guns all martial arts and wire-fu with a dash of Chi based super abilities

Someone was making one based on Sorcerer, but afaik it was never completed. It seemed to capture the feel of the setting pretty well. Google "nausicaa sorcerer" if you want to check it out.

There's also french homebrew Nausicaa rpg and supposedly even d20 conversions, but I haven't really found much rules for them.
