Yep, absolutely! Actually, any team-based RPG with a character-building system that rewards specialization would probably work. So sci-fi, fantasy, horror, crime, superhero, cyberpunk... pretty much any form of genre fiction.

So that's a second lens I could use for this part of my process. Just take any RPG and use it as inspiration for both the group project and the characters. Though not the setting, obviously.

I'm learning a lot here today.
