But what about different versions of the meta-setting?

A multiverse of Infinite Worlds is just waiting to be mashed up with other popular RPG genres.
The biggest one I'd like to see is a mashup with dungeon crawling. The PCs hop from universe to universe, hackin' exotic foes and collecting treasure.
Other examples would include:
Multiverse + Call of Cthulhu. Mythos entities are not bound to one universe. Rather, their domain encompasses all universes and their plots are inter-dimensional.
Multiverse + WWII. The Nazis are fighting to conquer not one universe, but all of them. War rages across the multiverses.
Multiverse + Pirates. Traveling to new universes requires passing through the Etheric Void, a strange realm where the rules of reality change as you grow closer to different universes. For those brave enough to sail the void as buccaneers, there's adventure and booty to be had.
Multiverse + Cyberpunk. The multiverse is ruled by vast, dimension-spanning corporations. PC types can be mercs for hire in a bustling inter-dimensional economy, or can be rebels fighting back against the corps.
Multiverse + Free Trading. The PCs crew a tramp trade-ship that jumps from reality to reality, buying and selling.
