There is already a rather good Perry Rhodan RPG, although the system is com-
paratively complex. It is a d20, originally published for the German fantasy RPG
"Midgard", decades before D&D used a d20 system:
dorifer.com

However, the Perry Rhodan RPG is no success, not even over here. While the
fans of the series like it because of the many background informations, most
roleplayers obviously find it too difficult to "get into" a background universe
which has developed over more than 40 years, with literally thousands of ra-
ces and a timeline of more than 2,000 years.
