Ideas? Oooh! I has lots!
Steampunk? Mash-up of The Difference Engine & The Chaos Engine? Jules Verne, HG Wells?
Superhero/villain - never played it but I’m thinking something like what I’ve read of City of Heroes?
Generic sub-Tolkein, D&D rip-off. Always good, plenty of material out there
Hammer Horror/Universal Monsters
Western - a lot of what we just did was practically a western, could easily translate to something similar in the old west. Upgrade your horse? Oregon Trail? How about a zombie Organ Trail (already exists…)?
Pirates - Monkey Island, The Pyrates!, PoTC?
Crime/Noir - think Goodfellas, Scarface, GTA, Miami Vice? Anyone wanna be Sam Spade?
Period Sci-Fi - Mars Attacks! XCOM in the 60s?
Swords ‘n’ Sandals - Iliad, Odyssey etc?
Middle/Dark Ages - Arthurian knights? Ivanhoe? Robin Hood?
Vikings - usual pillaging etc, chuck in some Norse mythology?
H Rider Haggard, King Solomon’s Mine style?
Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter-y stuff?
Fables? Everyone picks their favourite fairy tale character?
Cyberpunky stuff? Neuromancer, Matrix, Deus Ex? Cybernetic upgrades?
Mad Max post-apocalyptic style?
Spies? James Bond, Austin Powers, No One Lives Forever? Plenty of scope for double and triple agents with private messages; anyone want to defect? turn whistleblower?
Maybe something like Tad Williams’ Otherland - our avatars could jump around all sorts of virtual worlds (i.e. all of the above…)
