This is true; and none of the books have any order, I usually recommend Use of Weapons or Player of Games for people to read first because of that.
Kind of and not. The Culture is hard to explain, but the books are well worth reading. And not really a series in any conventional sense.
I'd like to see a Tintin RPG, but based only on the comic ...
Would Lazy Guns exist in a Culture RPG? Against a Dark Background is a stand alone; it's the GM's call.
I started with Player of Games, and glad I did. I'm a hard sell on sci-fi and I think i wouldnt have been motivated to get through Consider Phlebus if I hadn't had that ease into the setting (well, honestly, and also if I wasnt already a fan of Banks' non-SF work).
I'm guessing that you are thinking of Passions.I enjoyed the Almighty Johnsons (and appreciate that it actually gave us an ending). There used to be a supernatural soap-opera in the states during the 90s, but for the life of me I can't recall the name of it, only that it was very, very silly.

Sadly I just couldn't get player buy in
Pretty much. It was quite a different game from their norm too.A lot of narrative games don't embed assumptions about the genre or tropes into the mechanics the way more traditional games do, so if your players don't buy in or just don't know them you're pretty much dead in the water.
Love both those shows. Easily see either being run as a game.The TV show Dark Matter would make a great RPG. As would Killjoys.
Videogames. Elder Scrolls.
I always thought the various Gerry Anderson shows... Captain Scarlett, Fireball XL5, Joe 90, U.F.O., etc. could mash together into an overarching Andersonverse RPG. Lots of espionage and mystery and funky equipment with that mod 60s England vibe.
Don't forget UFO having the most under rated opening titles of the 70s. And that music!I love that idea! And tack on Space: 1999 and you'd have an interesting set up for either a post-apocalypse world with all those elements (Earth surviving the effects of the Moon torn from orbit) or continuing on the Moon dealing with the antagonists from UFO, etc.
Hey, I recognized at least one actor from Forever Knight, the prototypical cheap Canadian fantasy show...
I loved Forever Knight back in the day. I'm kind of surprised I never ran VtM in that "world". Maybe someday in the future I will have to rectify that.The Forever Knight actors have been working Stratford of late. Except for Catherine Disher, who's settled into a long-term gig over at the Hallmark Channel (they film everything in Canada).
There was one superhero rpg done around the time that tried to capture the Image style and tone of comics, even got a license for a supplement based on The Maxx of all things.I can't recall the name off the top of my head but it was really really depressingly horrible
I was working an FLGS/comic store at the time, and I have vague memories of it not being very good. I couldn't tell you why though. It was one of those things you looked at for a couple of minutes, and then put back on the shelf never to touch again.So it was really true to the source fiction?

It was a supplement for the completely forgotten Heroes and Heroines game, to fill in that piece of information.
I have no memory of the game's mechanics at all, which is kind of surprising as I spent my whole day around games at that time.I think I remember this game! Was it the one that gave your character's strength as Bench-Press Weight (BPW)? I was actually kind of curious about it.
I'd back a kickstarter for either or both of them.I think I already said but I'd love to see
Katherine Kerr's Deverry Cycle.
David Gemmels Drenai Saga/Rigante Saga
I was trying to work out my preferred system but I'm all Mythras at the moment. So not unbiasedI'd back a kickstarter for either or both of them.
My homebrew setting that's loosely based on Dark Ages Britain has no small amount of influence from Katherine Kerr and David Gemmel. I should share it one of these days. Even if it is unfinished.I was trying to work out my preferred system but I'm all Mythras at the moment. So not unbiased
