I know that adaptational TTRPGs get a bit of a weird reputation as just filing the serial numbers off of Star Wars or whatever, but honestly they are continually one of the most interesting things in the entire medium to me. There is something deeply compelling about seeing people look at another form of art and decide what to adapt, how to capture it, and what to leave behind in adaptation? It's seeing someone else tell you why they love the thing they love, by making a game that is entirely about those things. It's like how Chainsaw Man using shot-reverse shot for conversations even though it's a manga, it is a desperate attempt to filter one medium through the other, to try to capture what makes one amazing within the limitations of the other.
