I'd love to run a game in the "old-school" Shadowrun setting (circa 2055). A lot of what made Shadowrun fun was in the 2050's (1E and 2E), started being watered down by metaplot in the 2060's (3E) and were phased out in most ways in the 2070's (4E and maybe 5E). The entire gonzo, pink-Mohawk neo-1980's feel with low-lifes facing big threats (bug spirits, Horrors, Aztechnology conspiracies) appeals far more to me than the "modernized" 2010's feel of SR4 where most big metaplots were resolved and where the cool cyberdecks were replaced by universal wi-fi and smartphones (I have enough of this in RL).

Hell, I want to run a STALKER-type sandbox in Bug City.

The only problem is that I'm not sure I'd like to use the default Shadowrun rules for this, as they are quite a bit crunchy, maybe a bit too crunchy for my taste, so maybe Savage Worlds will work better.

I still want to play Alternity again, but I think I'm the only one...

Alternity was one of the most criminally under-rated games ever published.

Why so, out of interest?

I'd love to do a Rogue Trader boarding action in Warp Space, but that would mean having to run 40k, and fuck that noise.

A grand campaign featuring Mister Slayer, from SLA Industries, as the antagonist, trying to buy out or conquer every tabletop RPG setting, would be fun. The players would be a ragtag resistance drawn from all over the multiverse, space marines rubbing shoulders with shadowrunners, rat catchers running alongside alien space gods, all trying to stop this madman before he manages to bring everything under his control. It would be grim, it would be epic, it would have to be done in GURPS or FATE, and it would be a fucking nightmare as a result.

Oh, and how could I forget? Dark Souls; a party of undead, lost in a strange land, desperately hunting for some way to reverse the curse of undeath before they succumb and end up Hollowed. I'd probably do this in D&D, it might even work.

I'm seriously pondering running a play-by-post Western using Boot Hill 3e.

I've been reading Alan Moore's Top Ten series again, and I think that playing a gritty, dark cop procedural where every character, NPC and pizza delivery kid is a power'd person just trying to make a living where being special is really not that special sounds like a blast.

Welcome to the site!

Sounds like Mutant City Blues, if you don't mind Pelgrane's Gumshoe system.

Top Ten is good but I don't know if I could run it.
