Here are some games I have run in the past. Some have turned into campaigns, others not. I have never posted anything on them on the web, but might someday.

"X-Files" Actually more of an X-files meets mission impossible (the old tv show), due to the number of characters. This one had an ecclectic group of characters that made all the paranormal investigating fun. One of them was an old russian ex-kgb "vampire hunter," who had seen it all and was very jaded. Funny when the younger players just getting used to the idea of a real but hidden supernatural were more than a little scared.

"Road to Rome" Set during Caligula's reign, the player's job was to escort a provincial governor's son to Rome (to be a "hostage" to ensure loyalty). A Centurion, an ex-gladiator, a barbarian scout all shared the job, and their dynamic was interesting enough, but the real gem was that the governor's son was also a PC, and would have given Caligula a run for his crazy had they ever reached Rome.

"USS Armstrong" Players were the crew of an Aegis Class Destroyer (Mark II with the helo-hanger) transported to an alternate world along with some classic civilizations, cave men, Conquistadores, A WWII bomber (actually lot's of WWI and WWII soldiers and units), etc, along with a mysterious race of intelligent reptillian spell users who actually caused the whole mess. (this was ten years before Taylor Anderson's fun Destroyermen series started, honest)

"Lost Valley" 20's pulp adventure, complete with the spoiled rich girl, the ex-soldier/mercenary, the G-man, and the Chinese Orphan. Oh did I mention the hidden valley with Classical Romans and Cavemen?

"Immortals" I hesitate to bring this one up, because it got strange fast. The basic premise is that the characters are transported by aliens into the distant past (read Ice Age) where they meet a tribe of Neandertals...and discover they have become apparently immortal due to the alien stasis machine. The strange came in when after the characters had split up somewhat, one of them decided he really really wanted to advance egyptian civilazation by teaching them how to make Pizza and Tacos...and have drive in's complete with skating waitresses.

"Time Police" This was my first attempt at a time travel game. The players were allowed to create characters from whatever time they wished, and they were "recruited" into a time travelling organization just prior to being killed at their point of origin. Actually incorporated fantasy and real timelines. One of the characters was a Thief from a magic using "Roman era," while there was also a cowboy, a couple of soldiers WWI and WWII, and an astronaut/pilot from the near future

Game's I've NEVER run, but thought would be fun.

MASH or maybe a spinoff, like Fantasy MASH... Yes it would be a bit tongue in cheek.
