Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

Closed Timelike Curves - A group of urban explorers discover an anamolous stable wormhole inside of a long abandoned gym. edit: both ends of the wormhole are in the gym, but they are desynchronized in time, allowing travel into the past or future by repeatedly entering the wormhole from the correct end

“Never skip leg day!”

“It’s ALWAYS leg day in this gym!”
 

The Imperial Dynasty of America - Call of Cthulhu. Four years after the events of The Repairer of Reputations, an outbreak of mass insanity (a la In the Mouth of Madness) has swallowed the world, and Hildred Castaigne has been crowned king after all; his institutionalization and subsequent death at the end of Repairer notwithstanding. (I don't know whether to make him undead, or to have his followers hallucinate orders from him, or to leave it ambiguous like the emperor from WH40K. If undead, possibly his body is posessed by Hastur, if not possibly Hastur communicates through his body like some twisted radio; or possibly he has little or nothing to do directly with Hastur beyond the book being the source of the mass madness.)

An endless hallway, a key that opens 10 doors each day, go too far down the hallway and you travel back in time. Once in the past, you can only move forward.

The first session ended with the following:
Your lives would have been so much simpler if that had been the last time you had seen the key or hallway. History would have turned out so differently if the key had never come into your possession, or if you had been able to resist its allure. Perhaps this time will be different.

The PCs obtained the key in session 8. They entered the same day (of course). Then 1200 years earlier....

Ten doors. pick one and tell me why.
 

Decrypted - A spy is killed and some sensitive secret information stolen from them. Later they rise as a powerful undead creature bent on making the information secret again by eliminating all who know it. Unfortunately the leaked information has become semi-common knowledge in the interim

The Guacalypse - Toon. Giant avocado monsters wreck a farmer's market or a county fair or something and run amok
 

The Allpocalypse - All of the end times predictions from every religion are all happening all at once. The Apocalypse, Ragnarok, the Kali Yuga, X-Day, Duhsama-Duhsama, Tzitzimitl, all of it

The Artist - On the trail of a murderous and possibly demoniv "artist" whose "art" id killing people in strange and interesting ways

High Speed, Low Gravity - Car chase in low gravity

The Rock Star - (This would be funnier if it were still the 20th century and the comspiraci4s theories it;s refrencing were still relevant, but,) a Toon thriller wherein the player characters uncover the secret truth that Elvis Presley and Paul McCartney are actually the same person

I've got a couple of half formed christmas adventure/story ideas.

One of them is jamming christmas memes into an Army Of Darkness esque adventure ("This is my boomstick! It's An official Red Ryder Carbine-action 200 shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. Shop smart! Shop S-Mart!!").

The other is the nutcracker not being a noble prince who fights the evil rat king and instead being a tiny redneck who hunts rats
 

The Nutcracker - This is actually more of an idea for a boomer shooter, but it could work in something like Toon*. A mad science experiment intended to open up a wormhole accidentally opens up a mousehole instead. Now hordes of demonic alien mice are swarming in. However the mad science somehow also brought some of the lab's christmas decorations to life. Now it's up to these decorations to fight off the invading mice (edit: or possibly the Nutcracker is a defense robot. That works too. Especially in the boomer shooter paradigm that I originally conceived of the idea in)

*Or conversely in some less roleplay-ish, more wargame type thing.
