39. Dragonriders of Pern: Based on the books. The PCs live in co-existance with dragons and impress (bond) with them at an early age. They train to battle the evil "thread" that falls from the sky every year, that destroys almost anything that falls in it's path, the only defense living with the mountain lair's of the dragons (weyrs). If the "thread" reach the surface of the planet, it gestates into purple worm like creatures which rampage throughout the land.

40. Pokemon: Gotta catch 'em all. The PCs live in a world where everyone is able to bond with small or tiny creatures as familiars. The PCs serach and hunt for stronger creatures to add to their collection. However, the PCs must be wary of thieves who seek to steal their "familiars". There can be quests to find, catch "familiars", etc. Certain "familiars", when bred with other types or feed certain rare ingredients, can produce amazing creatures.

41. Planet of the Apes: Get you paws off me you dirty ape. The PCs are transported to a low technology world where the only civilization is composed of sentient apes. All PC races, human, elf, dwarf, etc., have been reduced to barbarism and are no longer considered sentient. The PCs must hide their intellegence and seek either a way home or a place to live in peace. There are rumors of a hidden band of sentient non-apes who live in the Forbidden Zone, but are actually evil psionic creatures who are the genetic off-shoots of the original PC races.

41) Four immensely powerful wizard, each one a master of one of the four elements, battle for supremacy. Until a God visits the PCs and tasks them with ending the war and restoring balance. The heroes cannot even hope to defeat these mages, so their only chance is diplomacy...

14. Welcome to Hell. The party finds themselves stranded, one way or another, on one of the Lower Planes, and now needs to find a way to get off alive. A dark and violent campaign, with the potential for heavy role-playing and/or a lot of combat.

You know what's better than having a cool campaign idea? Having the actual campaign planned, the plot detailed, the NPCs statted, the locals mapped, the descriptions written, the PCs scre... ahem, all in a nice Word file (or, optionally, PDF) which is just two clicks away. Well, at least the first third or so. The rest will come in due time.

42. The Smurfs: La La La La La La. The PCs work for the wise and good wizard Gargamel, having him as his patron. Aided by his familiar, a cat by the name of Azrael, Gargamel seeks the location of the fabled Smurf village. The Smurfs are diabolical imps who seek to despoil the forest and perhaps the whole world. The PCs must capture the Smurfs for Gargamel, who seeks to learn their secrets in order to protect the land. Foes of the PCs would be the evil recluse wizard Homnibus, known for his alliance with Papa Smurf. In addition the demi-gods walk the land, Father Time and Mother Earth, who wreak havoc wherever they walk. Two villains prowl the area, from the nearby castle, Johan, an anti-paladin of the villest order, and his cohort Pee-Wee, an evil halfling bard who rides upon a fiendish dire goat. Aiding the PCs are a gentle giant by the name of Big Mouth, who has an unsatiable appetite, and Gargamel's own master known as Balthazar, a great archmage.

43. GI JOE: The REAL American Hero. The PCs live in a world dominated by evil military tyranny known as the Sons of Joseph. Members of this order are composed of high-level NPCs from almost every class, specializing in different military specializations. The Sons of Joseph routinely patrol the land enforcing their vision of world order upon the hapless citizens, forcing them to conform to unjust laws and perform vile practices. In their own twisted minds, they call their acts of torture and reprimands, "Public Service Announcements", where they punish offenders before the eyes of the public to make an example of what happens to those who fail to obey. The PCs are members of a secret order known as the Followers of the Cobra, an ancient order, whose roots lie in the history of the ancient Cobra god, whose venom can supposedly purge the world of the Sons of Joseph. The leader of the Followers of Cobra is a lawful and good man, who keeps his face hidden, for he is ashamed at his inability to end the plight of the world. Some say he hails from a fabled land of peace known as Cobra-La and was sent by them to save the world. He is aided by a powerful wizard with a head encased in mithril, going by the name of Destro.
