Saw a discussion on reddit today and thought it might be interesting. Name the system, media influences, and basic plot ideas. Mine is: Over The Edge, Film Noir: Four friends in 1935 are involved in a plane crash in the desert and end up in Al Amarja. Stuck without papers or passports, the group is forced to take piece work from the criminal element to survive. A cross between The Maltese Falcon, Naked Lunch, The Lost Weekend, and Sullivan's Travels.

some concept I'd love to GM, but there is not enough time a week.

  • A Vampire the requiem campaign with PC part of the Cartian movement from the french revolution to let's say the fall of the Berlin Wall. And would follow revolution hero turning into dictator and all the alternating Dictatorship-->Revolution-->Republic --> Dictatorship that lasted for the next 150 years at least.

  • A Kult campaign based on the backroom creepy pasta. No spoiler, but I can really see how to intricate Kult lore in that one.

  • I am sure there is a way to turn the Steampunk Musical The doll of New albion where Anabel is raising up the dead into a great steampunk campaign, but not sure where to start, so it's lower on my priority list.

  • A Fading suns campaign where the players plays symbiot, this one is on my bucket list since War in the heaven came out. However, it requires players knowing the lore and ready for some spoilers, so kinda hard to put in place.
