To be frank, any rpg, SO LONG AS THEY DON'T COMPLETELY IGNORE THE PLAYERS AT THE TABLE ASPECT. The Dungeons and Dragons movie? Beautiful. But its basically a movie on the setting, not about gaming, and that feels like its no different from any other fantasy movie out there.
Same with the FALLOUT series. Clearly they drew from the videogame. Despite there being a Fallout RPG. So one might even say its NOT a television series based on the game at all.
That's why we need a movie that FEATURES the player aspect of the concept. Astropia (which was horribly and terribly renamed, Dorks and Damsels) as closer to a great approach. Flight of Dragons too if you consider it opens with the boardgame. But so far, all other adaptations have adapted ONLY the setting side and not the player side. And that, for me, is a huge disservice to the hobby.
