Idea: a piratical rpg of the Powered By The Apocalypse variety.

Your stats!
Heart as black as coal
Hunger as strong as the wind and tides
Secrets that sleep with old Davy Jones

Idea: a wacky yet dark and intense campaign where you play a group of orcs in Middle Earth. I bet you could run it by hacking the One Ring RPG system just a little…

As you make schemes and seize things from the stupid Elves and Men, remember that being a goblin is also about having horrible food and singing horrible songs together. Sauron even invented a Team Rocket style cheer back in the First Age!

Because Hasbro owns the Wizards of the Coast, the following dragon is completely viable:

A dragon with a breath weapon that shoots a cone of Bop-It™️ puzzle toys. It deals bludgeoning or thunder damage, and targets who fail their save are also confused.

Transformers rpg WHEN?

https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-core-rulebook/ Transformers RPG in a few months time currently available for preorder. It’s not a D&D based system but it is d20 and was initially planned to straight up be a D&D based and compatible system for exactly the reasons you mentioned. They changed their minds and made their own system but only kind of.

YES

The transformers are out

Transformers rpg WHEN?

This is either a game setting on its own, or a campaign concept for Nobilis.

Court intrigue! Clever schemes and betrayals! Romance? Illegal midnight duels!

For centuries, the Cabinet of Seven has ruled with benevolence and wisdom. The Ministers - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and the others - cooperate for the common good. At least on the surface. No Minister has ever fallen, for they each need the other six as much as they crave power. Their court officials, with silly names like Halloween and Laborday, must sneak and scandalize and sabotage without being caught, or their own patron will calmly watch them executed for treason.

In this world, the players are encouraged to be dramatic! To use their powers (and be creative with inventing new ones!) And watch out for July and August - those guys can’t stop bragging about being the only ex-mortals to be in charge of a whole department.

N.B. Think carefully about which holidays you want to use, and whether you’re making fun of anybody. Treat people’s beliefs and history with respect - again, except for the Caesars.

Idea: a Pokémon survival horror game, along the lines of the Alien rpg from Free League. You play as a journalist or salvage crew in the wreckage of a strange laboratory. Some mysterious Team was working here, and a few bodies are found as you avoid the working traps and malfunctioning machinery.

At the center of it all is evidence - they called down this meteor on purpose, to summon some thing. And it’s still alive. Deoxys, seemingly unstoppable, adapting quickly to our world and chasing you through the lab. Eventually it can learn to mimic humans and Pokémon, at least in appearance. Will you escape? Will you lead it to more innocent victims?

I think this could be a really dark and scary game, it has the potential to be quite cool. Pokémon still don’t die though, they just get knocked out and then can’t help light your way or punch through doors.

New RPG:

Here’s the concept. An organization has been formed to combat the rising number of Mad Scientists who are ruining things with their dastardly experiments. But these are not agents of good. These are the professions always excluded from the world domination party. The Mad Bakers, Mad Hatters, Mad Sculptors and everyone who practices evil - but not science. (Mad Historians, Linguists etc occupy a terrifying no-man’s-land because they’re “social scientists”)

I imagine this has to be a game with a lot of player creativity. Being a baker on its own won’t give you special technologies or powers, so do your research and talk your DM into letting you forge a biscotti power armor or enhance a sourdough starter until it can consume cities!

What’s more fun than learning a new game?

Idea: watch some of the Glass Cannon’s series “New Game, Who Dis?” Every few weeks, they did a different game and made new characters together. It’s a pretty cool way to learn about rpgs you haven’t played yet! Then, if you still want more novelty and breadth of experience, try it yourself! Get your friends to pick out a whole bunch of systems and run short modules with you!
