Quote from: Raven;680616I would like to see a big encyclopediac (<--real word?) Stephen King sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu/BRP.

Like you could devote a chapter each to Castle Rock, Derry and Jerusalem's Lot, providing maps, histories, npc's, notes on running games, plot seeds, etc.

A stats/bestiary chapter for various characters & monsters (Carrie, Christine, Roland, Flagg) plus tips on how to use various big bads (It, Tak, He Who Walks Behind The Rows)

A section on the Dark Tower and how to run games in it. A chapter on psychic powers & magic.

Lots of beautiful, original full color art.

I dunno. I'd buy it. :)

The same should be done for Dean Koontz, or you could do it in GURPS.

Firefly/Serenity could also work in GURPS.

Not sure what system would best fit Harsh Realms.

That's a damn good idea, but I'd give Dark Tower it's own sourcebook.

On a similar note, I think a Clive Barker supplement for Unknown Armies would be keen.

Well OP asked for sourcebook, not an entire line. But we could work it your way too.
