Check out the Dungeoncraft articles by Ray Winninger. He's got a lot of good advice on how to make campaigns memorable.

Heh. I'm thinking about a short-run campaign with pirates. And ninjas. And eunuch sorcerers. And zombies.

It'll be the betterest campaign on the block!

(It'll have beholders, too)

Nell.

Beholder pirates vs. mindflayer ninjas!

"Arhhh matey, I may have five eyepatches, but I still got a good disintegration ray, so don't cross me, bucko!"

What are the ECLs on those two races?

Ninjas and pirates are all very well, but without dinosaurs, a campaign's just a bunch of talking and stuff.

Dinosaurs. That's where it's at, my children. Dinosaurs.

Now, dinosaur ninja pirates, that's a little beyond the pale...

Having a character looking for an answer to a question burried deep in their background. That really keeps me going, as a player that is.

Any dinosaur pirate revealed to secretly be a ninja is keelhauled on sight as the aberration he is. Even finding a nunchaku or throwing star in his gear is likely to get him the black spot.

Don't forget Dark Elves. No matter what you're doing, if it isn't good it's because you don't have enough Dark Elves.

And Katanas. And Dark Elves Dual-Wielding Katanas.
