GURPS did a Riverworld book, but it's long OOP. the GURPS Who's Who books, as well as any and all of their historicals, would also be invaluable in running such a game.a campaign where there were two worlds -- modern-day Earth and a fantasy world -- and the characters can switch back and forth readily (and need to in order to complete their "quest") would also be pretty cool.</blockquote>
