This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Look at people's responses.  Beside that.  Everyone knows about genre mash-up products like Rifts or TORG.
Any comment I add to forum is from complete boredom.

When I looked at others' responses, I saw Rifts mentioned (and nobody got chewed on for mentioning it), so I figured I'd mention Torg too. You know, for that portion of "everyone" that might not know about it.

Ran a Star Trek game where the characters LARPed  in the holodeck as our D&D party (played as D&D on alternate weeks). Of course we had a weird adventure that came out of the holodeck.

Very cool.  The holo deck escapism.  The concept used in the show is very Gygax, really, being like pocket worlds that were fun.  Original Star Trek inspired so many adventure ideas back in the day, never got around to using an actual Star Trek product, though.  The whole cowboys in space thing fit well with the frontier towns that we dressed up as medieval villages. ha

I mashed up AD&D/Legends & Lore with Cyberpunk: 2020 and Sledge Hammer! for my deity-level AD&D campaign back in the late '80s. I remember the Lesser God Thrin being interviewed on Oprah. :D

In my Mass Effect game, I use a well made Savage Worlds fan made game and elements of a Fate/Fudge based fan made Mass Effect game for ideas, combined with my own guidelines.  Savage worlds for most combat and character stats, with fudge for the renegade +- paragon aspects of mass effect.  I use lots of other ideas in it to make it feel mass effect.
