Day 20: A Game You Want to Make You Think No One Will Play?
Oh, that's easy.
I want to make an officially licensed Charmed RPG.
I am not ashamed of this, but all things considered I vastly prefer Charmed to Buffy. I don't even consider myself a Buffy fan, to be honest, more of a Willow & Tara fan. But I am an unapologetic Charmed fan.
There is the whole witch thing to be sure. And the Charmed Ones are rather easy on the eyes. But I think my friend and former TV writer Robert Black said it best, Charmed never forgot who their audience was and never forgot they were a TV show.
While I know the demographics of the show and your average gamer are not exactly the same, I think with the amount of "modern supernatural" fiction being published today that a Charmed game would be fantastic. Buffy sold well, Dresden Files is doing nicely. Granted those are properties with significant geek/gamer buy-in and at the time of their games the properties are still active.
I would like to point out that with all the stuff I have written about witches and magic in the things I have published that this game would be a natural for me. ;)
