Yeah you don’t want to mark as sold because them BGG will charge you 3% for nothing.

Sorry if I already asked in the past - and I know those are RPGs, but IIUC you mentioned RPGs might qualify for nonzero SPICE (?) - would the ones below qualify?

- Wreck This Deck (Revised)
- Two-Hand Path
- Wanderer solo-RPG

If I start a TV show, I like to watch it to the end. If I've heard the show has a satisfactory ending in the penultimate season then I'll just stop there and not watch the last season. But I like getting to a conclusion, even if it's not the best. I actually didn't mind the BSG revival's ending.

For RPG campaigns I also vastly prefer getting to an ending, even if it's rushed, over just dropping it. My players have complained though that once an ending is in sight I tend to sprint towards it instead of maintaining the speed of the rest of the campaign and letting the players take their time.

I think RPG campaigns, like TV shows, work best when there is an ending point in mind. Like knowing from the start, we'll keep playing until we defeat the BBEG. In my current Mythic Bastionland game, it's until we resolve the City Quest. If I get to run Downcrawl someday, it'll be until we reach the surface. I don't think this is railroading; there are any number of routes and choices and consequences to be taken in order to get there.

I liked the worldbuilding in N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy; it could be used in an RPG, though I'm not sure which system.

Blades in the Dark and Court of Blades pretty well handle Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch already.

The Dune and Mistborn series already have their own RPGs but I'd want to play them in PbtA or Blades in the Dark hacks.

Asimov's Foundation as an RPG would be interesting, too.

I'd also like to play in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. I know there was a 3e supplement for it, but I'd want to use a different system. Maybe QuestWorlds.
