PbtA Games: Sell One Well +

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

There is a pretty nakedly Hitchhikers-with-the-serial-numbers-Impossibility-Drived-off game out now: Space Aces.

Gaiman was friends with Adams and Pratchett and peers with all of the British invasion comic book creators of the early 1990s. He had a hell of a Rolodex back in the day.

And yeah, if my timeline is anything to go by, Gaiman is 50% of all content on Bluesky, so he'd probably answer if someone asked about whether he's been approached about an RPG and why one never materialized. I can't imagine he thinks an RPG publisher could/should back up a dump truck of money to his house -- he's too well-versed in geek media to think there's that kind of money in it.

I would like a 90's era Vertigo RPG, with John Constantine, Swamp Thing, non-Endless Sandman characters, Black Orchid, Prez, Shade the Changing Man, Animal Man, etc etc...

And yes of course there are a bunch of games, even some PbtAs, that could slide into that space (Urban Shadows for example) with some modification... But I want an Ooompa (Tim Hunter) Loompa (Doom Patrol) NOW Daddy!

An urban fantasy RPG drenched in classic Vertigo vibes would be a very compelling product.
