An ankh morpork city watch 2d arcade beatemup would be pretty entertaining. More discworld games please. Read more

The Southern Reach games would be great as a point and click adventure or something like that, not anything else. Read more

I’d like to see Daniel Polansky’s “Low Town” series, Mike Carey’s “Felix Castor” series, Simon R. Green’s “Nightside” series, Richard Kadrey’s “Sandman Slim”, Martin Scott’s “Thraxas”, or Sanderson’s “Rithmatist” get video game or movie deals.

I really want to play a proper action game (like an FPS or a TPS) set in the Dune universe. There was a TPS back in the day, but from what I’ve seen/heard, it was terrible. Read more

Hi Doc! Great to see you taking over for the weekend, always loved seeing you around. Read more

Dragonlance. They have enough novels and there are already D&D modules for it. At one time, I believe someone who worked on Pillars of Eternity asked for the community to make a Dragonlance mod for it on Jeff Cannata’s DLC podcast. Read more

Raymond E Feist’s Riftwar saga. Its an oldie but a goodie. Considering there is a large scale war going on there would be LOTS to do. Read more

I know that the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy already had a video game, but I’d love an open-exploration space-traveling game where you just got to travel to all the different bizarre planets that get offhanded mentions in the books. Read more

Awesome! Congrats! I liked your piece on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. On a side note, thanks for reminding me that I need to go back and play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. again. Read more

Mike Miller’s “The Yeti” would be a perfect game - like 19th-century Uncharted with an unkillable Resident Evil style big boss attacking throughout. I hear it’s already becoming a movie too. Read more

I thought this was an announcement that Frog Fractions 2 had been found. Now I’m disappointed... Read more

I’m on the 4th book in the revelation space series right now (absolution gap) and I would definitely agree about the world building, among other things. Read more

Several Culture books could be great video games. The Player of Games is probably a bit on-the-nose, and it’s a lot harder to design a game-within-a-game that governs an entire empire. Use of Weapons would be interesting. Personally I’d like to see Matter, since it could be distilled down to two basic storylines… Read more

I always thought E.E. Knight’s Vampire earth series would make a good game franchise. Read more

This isn't exactly a video game adaptation, but I'd love to see a GoT-style series based on the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series by Tad Williams, which still remain my favorite books of all time. Read more

Well, I appreciate your point of view, especially on NeoGAF. That place is so weird. Read more
