Kidnapped? 9 Story Points, incoming! :D

Encountering fire cultists = many fireballs. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Woah, a Car Wars Spy Hunter loop! Heck yeah. Whatever else they may or may not be, the more loose 6e rules for Car Wars ought to work well for such a wild ride: Give the protagonist car high armour, create a bunch of the mooks with lower armour cars, roll randomly to see which mooks arrive...

Secret society spying - all gemstones? Bonus: Time travel makes tenses hard!

Hmm. I'd say Ranger as archetype(s) [recognizing there are many archetypes that get labelled ranger, ie, nature-paladin vs tracker vs beastmaster vs...] are "necessary" things to be included within a D&D game. Whether they need to be a separate class (or classes) is a whole separate matter...

The Troubleshooters may work for you, running adventures similar to the Tintin graphic novels. The base campaign world has some superscience influences, but those are easy enough to strip out if not desired and can still run very cool adventures in a "mundane" world.

This is an interesting lens to look through! Of all the games we are currently playing, I think they could all be fit into one of these four types: Epic Narrative: The trilogy-style. You are out to solve/fix/overcome some grand thing. You know it at the start of the campaign. All of the...
