GameSpot covers a GDC panel that saw Obsidian, BioWare and Disney discussing developing licensed games, which turns out to be a fairly dry subject:
Urquhart has experience working with Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, and more, and told developers the best things they can do is ask lots of questions about the license. In working with Forgotten Realms, he said the developers made sure to ask about everything they could do with the world, from blowing up a city to having specific characters use one weapon or another.
Nicolai followed up on that point by urging developers of licensed games to still be creative, to try to do something new in the universe or push boundaries no matter how firmly established it is.
More information.

Just arrived spontaneous thought :

Carribbean RPG ???

Because of the movies ... And the brand new rumor of a new movie coming 2010 or 2011 ...

I think this would be ... very interesting.

It's got everything it needs : Some kind of magic, mayhem, and character development ...

There already is a Pirates of the Caribbean rpg so another one wouldn't be a big surprise. (It was a really good game also)

Bioware + Disney = Natural evolution :)

Did you know that the ex project director on DA, Dan Tudge, went to work for Disney?
DA has a 3rd project director now. First was Scott Greigg.

For the PC or any other platform ? I'm speaking of video games, not of pen & paper rule-sets ...
