From what I can tell, adapting it requires writing entirely new species, and therefore entirely new sets of lifepaths, from scratch... and while some specific adaptations exist, like Burning Empires and Mouse Guard, there doesn't seem to be the kind of culture of homebrew surrounding the game to help with arbitrary adaptations. (Or at least there wasn't a decade ago, when you could actually *see* communities on the open web instead of them being locked away in Discord...)
