Waaaay back, a year ago actually, Brendan Q Fergusson (remember him?) posted this blog and invited comments on

I'd love to hear suggestions for licenses that you think would make for a great adventure style game...

And as it's been a year, and the forum is now the preferred discussion area, may I continue where we left off last July?

Firstly I will say that I am really looking forward to Telltale's first wholly original adventure game. I do sympathise with those who don't like licensed games, but that is probably partially because of the multitude of crappy movie tie-ins we get these days. Mind you there were plenty of crappy movie tie-ins back in the old days too. ET on the 2600. Rambo on the C64. Die Hard.

Anyway I digress. I have just uncovered what would be an amazing license. Amazing I tells you. Set in an established, rich fantasy world. An existing fanbase. A highly respected organisation. And a new movie & spinoff TV series in the works...

Any of you Telltale Guys work on LucasArts Labyrinth adaptation back in dark-ages? (also a Henson license, for those not familiar with that game / movie).

Anyway, I see what you're doing with Bone, and man, if all this Dark Crystal stuff happens as that site is reporting, that would be an amazing setting for a new series of adventure games.
