What's Your Bucket List Campaign to Play?

So, sitting at work today suffering from a cold, I was pondering something. If you could play a campaign that you've never done before but would absolutely love to, what would it be?
⚀ Old Battlestar Galactica. Including the comics and novels, in a decent system; Cortex Plus or Savage Worlds come to mind. With a landholding-style management game for ships.
⚁ Mekton's Operation Rimfire. Prior groups rejected due to all pregens.
⚂ Twilight Sword - tho' that won't be available for a bit.

At the moment I'm DM'ing Rise of the Runelords in PF1. That has always been on my bucket list. So that's good.

Here's my prioritized list for other campaigns I'd like to play or GM:
  1. The Enemy Within
  2. Savage Tide (from Dungeon Magazine)
  3. Horror on the Orient Express
  4. Curse of Strahd
I can't help to notice, that TEW is on many bucket lists. Looks like we should be able to gather an EN-World group and fulfill some dreams.
 



I've ticked (well, almost finished) the box of playing through the wonderful Enemy Within (big thanks to GM @TheSword ) in WFRP.
I've been fortunate enough to have run the G1-3 and D1-3 series back in AD&D days and also run Night Below too.
GM-wise, I've never run CoC, but I will be doing so shortly.
As a player, I'd love to play in Night Below.
 

I’d like to run Night Below.
I ran that just a couple years ago. As a DM, I like to use minis. Did a buttload of painting lol. Although, now I don't know what I'm gonna do with a dozen fire giant, dozen trolls, dozen grells, half dozen aboleth, and two dozen derro minis though. I doubt I'll ever need them again :P

For the campaign, man, Carl Sargent was brutal writing that. Even he mentions several times how the PCs should just run away lol.

As for my own answer, it has to be GDQ series. I've played bits here and there, but never the campaign. We never really played much high level D&D anyway--either got bored and wanted to play different PCs, or the DM left/changed, or some other real life thing got in the way of doing long campaigns like that. The longest continuous campaign I've ever done was DM T1-4 that led to White Plume Mountain that led to G1-3. But there it ended.

I never knew that the same fella who wrote the Enemy Within also wrote Night Below. Not a coincidence I don’t think.

Just out of interest, which aboleth minis did you use for your game?

3 different models you can see here. Also, a ton of those manta ray monsters (on my phone and not even gonna attempt to spell the name here lol)

For the big bad at the end, I used this one.

An Arcana Evolved/Diamond Throne campaign.
A Night's Black Agents Campaign.

A 12 Colonies campaign with alternate history, mixing some of the original and new Battlestar Galactica law. The first Cylon War didn't happen, because they found an ancient barge from Kobol, reawakening the 12 Lords of Kobol (or maybe just 11, because one died, IIRC?). This unlocked psionic powers. Cylons are self-aware, but they haven't openly rebelled. Don't really know where this would be going, though.
