Where are the TMN Spin-Offs!

I remember when Warren Spector was interviewed by PC Gamer back when DX2 was still in development, he said that he wished that there were a lot of games that tried to be like DX since no developer had attempted to replicate the DX formula since its release. Well, ever since TMN has been released, where are the other mods which want to be like TMN? Not exactly like it, gameplay and story wise, but concept-wise. Modders could amplify what they love of their favorite game while making the most of their forum community history as inspiration! It may not quite work, but here are some games I wish had epic TCs which are in the veing of TMN:
Star Wars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight
Half-Life 1
Sacrifice (Shiny Entertainment's RTS)
Unreal Gold
Quake
Doom
Blood
To name but a very few. Could you imagine the world of Planet Half-Life recreated as an HL1 science facility, and undergoing its own Resonance Cascade? Or the editing community for Jedi Knight recreated as an Internet-gaming oriented version of the SW galaxy, with Moderators serving as the forum's equivalent of Jedi Knights? I know that the Foum-based world worked primarily well for the atmosphere and interface of DX, but could the TMN forumla work to serve other games as well?
