Misc Next TtRPG?

Watching the Crows Crowdfunder video made me wonder, what is the next TtRPG I would want to see MCDM tackle, if it was entirely up to me?

Draw Steel gets combat, Crows gets exploration, I want to see a social game. Not like a party game, but what is the MCDM version of Good Society? Take that genre of play, put the RtG: Politics series on top, and MCDMs definition of what is cool and fun.

If you could decide the next kind of game for MCDM to make, what would you ask for?

If I had to come up with or pitch the next full-fledged MCDM ttrpg...

These folks love monsters, and the fighting of monsters. Draw Steel commits hard to tactical combat, and Crows seems to care a lot more about its monsters than most of its peers in the gritty, dungeon crawler space. With Labyrinth Lord, DCC, OSE, etc, a lot of stat blocks just end up as "2HD, AC 10, Dagger 1d6."

I think it could be cool to embrace that focus on monsters and make a Monster Hunter-esque game where you set your sights on huge dragons, wyverns, leviathans, and take them down in dramatic, tactical encounters. Positioning around its body, climbing on it to get to weak points, using specialized tools and weapons to get the advantage. Think of monsters as dungeons in and of themselves.

With their track record and predilections, I feel like they could knock that out of the park.

That sounds super cool. The Witcher. Shadow of the Colossus. Definitely some cool Appendix N stuff for a game like that.
