If it were Horatio Caine (from CSI Miami) instead of Gil Grissom, he'd be wearing his cool dark sunglasses and putting a dramatic pause after every word or two while using a raspy, ultra-serious tone of voice (and then the coroner lady would arrive to say "I'm sorry, baby" to the corpse a few times).Wraith Form said:

Never really got into Miami in a big way... mostly a scheduling issue, I don't tend to get to watch it, and it didn't grab me hard enough in the few eipsodes I saw to make me bother trying to tape it...

Oh, man. Where to start?
Uresia: the Grave of Heaven. I flipped through it at the game store. It seemed like something that would be right up my alley.
Final Fantasy D20. I am a huge fan of the game. I might be able to combine this with Uresia. Although it looked like Uresia owed more to DragonWarrior and the Slayers then anything else.
Star Wars Gestalt. Set in the New Jedi Order era it is the darkest hour for the Jedi since the revenge of the Sith. A small group of jedi must save the entire galaxy.
Hijinks. I stumbled across it again recently. I would have to find the right group for a madcap game like this.
Grimm. I have only read the previews. I was thinking I might be able to combine this with Hijinks for a Yellow Submarine-esqe adventure. A garage band has to save the land of fairy tales with rock-and-roll!
No title yet but it is Spelljammer meets Battlestar Galactica. A ragtag fugitive fleet of humans and demihumans set off to find a new home after thier sphere is destroyed by the Cylons. Legend speaks of a world called Earth.
No title for this one either. Take one part Transformers and one part Robotech. Transforming robots team up with transforming mecha to defend the earth from giant aliens.
GURPS Prime Directive. This one tempts me greatly. I am both a GURPS and a Star Trek whore. So far I have resisted buying it by telling myself that it would just sit on my shelf.
Transhuman Space. A very cool setting.
Ebberon. I love all things pulp. One day I'm going to have to buy this book.
Exalted. I have only played in an Exalted game once but it was cool.
Time Travel. I am a big fan of time travel and alternate history stories.

A superhero game where every one of the PCs (and villains?) had the same power- it would probably be something general like telekinesis, allowing for specialization to individualize the PCs. But having them all be clones could be good too.
A superhero game set in medieval times, 1602 style.
A domain-ruling game of some sort, like Birthright. Eberron, with its many formerly-joined kingdoms and 12 dragonmarked guildhouses, seems almost naturally set up for this to me.
Exalted, of some kind. Set in a modern world, or a medieval one, or the setting of the books ("Creation"), I haven't decided yet.
Stardrive. The old alternity setting. That had potential. Maybe with d20 future I can rustle up a game.

I think the players would end up lynching me, but... I've always wanted to run a game that I tell my players is d20 Modern (or whatever), but is really Call of Cthulhu. I'd introduce the horror / supernatural elements v..e..r..y.. s..l..o..w..l..y.. ; maybe even run the first few sessions as strait real-world-based games. Then when the weird starts happening, the players (not just the PCs) would be surprised. And scared. Muuhahaha!

Ooh, you just reminded me of another one I forgot to mention in my first post. Take Spycraft. It's 1999, the world is embroiled in a global civil war. As far as the public knows, a massive meteor has just landed on a remote island in the south Pacific, but word in the intelligence community is that it's actually an alien spaceship. Whichever side controls the secrets of this alien technology has all the power in the coming conflict. There's also political upheaval as the truth becomes more widely known, with government unifying worldwide and anti-unification rebels opposing the shift. Spycraft PCs in the Robotech universe, before all the actual Robotech stuff.

Heh, that was rather convient wasn't it? To go from world war to a unified earth government. But then again, history is written by the victors.

Hey, don't look at me. Robotech was written while the Cold War was still going strong, remember. It was never too clear on this, but I have a suspicion the lines didn't change much following the 'unification,' with the Soviets being at the heart of the 'enemy' forces.
That, and the sudden realization that there are aliens out there fully capable of wiping out human civilization (and who are likely coming to get their ship back) would put any internal conflict in a new perspective, don't you think?
