There are a pair of really annoying reasons for this one, at least previously.

Did Blood of Dragons close? I’ve never played it myself, but I’ve heard about it many times, as recent as last November.
-
@MisterBoring I’m not sure if it closed or not. I found it quite intimidating when I tried to apply there a while ago. It was a lot. And I didn’t necessarily mean that there are no games with those themes; I’m just shocked there aren’t more. Especially Game of Thrones. Lords and Ladies with an established world that people seem to love and enjoy? I’d think there’d be 3 or 4 of them, to be honest.
-
What about a game that took some of these more “niche” themes and put them onto one game? Like, it would have “eras” that players could make characters for. Wild West, Piracy, and Victorian, for example. Could even make them all “horror” based with WoD style or something.
My first impulse is that this might just split the player base. My hope, however, is that it might inspire someone who came there to play in the wild west era to make a pirate or victorian age character.

Some time ago, there were a pair of SuperFans (who did some legitimate work with GRR Martin, to be fair to them) who ran a Game of Thrones game. I can’t recall its name, so it may well have been spoken about already. They would regularly berate others who made Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire games, to the point where one could characterise it as bullying and harassment.
That in combination with the swift evacuation of Game of Thrones from the public consciousness after that disastrous final season is probably why we don’t see many, if any, games from that universe.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Jennkryst Battletech Lords and Ladies is as important as the mechs. Probably more so.

@Jumpscare I have, at one point, looked intensely at the Genesys code for Ares, and bought different non-Star Wars Genesys books, including the Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk setting book.
but consider: a Sailor Moon/Mummy crossover MU*

a game where I get to pilot a mech suit like in Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant
whispers Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant is Lords and Ladies

This is easy. You don’t even need Princess: the Hopeful to do it. Mummy: the Curse 2e is where you have all your Immortal flavors of Mortal+… your Blood Bathers, your Imbued, your Reborn…
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

There was an actual oWoD/Sailor Moon game in the 90s that I briefly staffed on. And then got kicked off of for flipping out, hard, when they didn’t give me Sailor Mercury, prompting someone to actually ask how old I was (I was in the target audience for Sailor Moon)
-
@Prototart So in this Sailor Moon / oWoD crossover, did the Sailor Scouts turn into different WoD Splats? Was Sailor Moon able to use her transformation to become a Brujah?

So this was years ago, but from what I can remember we used WoD: Combat - I was staff in part because I was one of the only people who had that - and Freak Legion to make monsters, but I don’t remember if there was a lot of actual proper WoD stuff. There should’ve been, tho.

That’s the couple who run the Blood of Dragons game that was mentioned, yeah. The infamous Nymeria is one of them.
I did staff on a GoT game for a while (Steel & Stone), and we didn’t actually get any botherings from their direction. I’m not sure if they’d given up on it by that point, if we just got lucky, or if those particular rumors were exaggerated. Based on other behavior from Nymeria I witnessed more directly, I absolutely wouldn’t have been surprised at those rumors being accurate, though.
