If you were to want future scenarios for Gnomemurdered, what would they be? Aside from the ones we've covered already?
Or would you like to see more of one of the ones we did cover?
To review, in case some of you haven't picked up 2e yet, it comes with:
Gnome-Warrens of the Northern Wilderlands: Sword & Sorcery adventure in FtA!GN!'s The Setting
Murder, She Gnomed: A Gnomish Murder Mystery
Challengers of the Unusual: The Lost Valley of the Gnomes: A Pulp Adventure story set in the swinging 60s.
Aliens Vs. Gnomes: A hard sci-fi space-terror adventure
and
Nine Gnomemurders in Aembar: Super high-powered fantasy in a struggle to control the multiverse, a war for the throne of Aembar.

Midnight. The inclusion of gnomes is one of several lame-ass things about this setting. Perhaps Izrador has misled his 'chosen ones' (i. e. orcs) because he's a gnome himself?
Gnomelance. Can the Knights of Somnia find this legendary artifact? (N.B. just a toothpick gnomes use to lance boils on their asses.)
Transgnome Space. Fucking useless setting nobody ever played or wanted, only collected.
Carcosa. Not sure how you'd satirize this, but take lots of shots at pathetic OSRians and you'll have a winner.
Those settings would all be ripe for satire. I'd add WoD, particularly Vampire, to that list.

Gnome: the Murdering

Lol! That's a good one... what would you envision that being like?

G:tM would in any case have a lot of kewl gnome splats with unique kewl powers - Menehune (happy-go-lucky tourism ad refugees with Hawai'ian shirts), Leprechauns (the wise Celtic pagans), Tomtenisse (the Scandinavian "all brawn, no brain" faux vikings), Gremlins (civilized hi-tech gnomes who prefer sabotaging planes over direct bloody axe murders), thinly veiled Smurfs, Melmacians and Teletubbies (the gnomish equivalent to Malkavians?), and numerous others that the company can get its hands on.
Also, Gnomes would just be tragical and misunderstood creatures who just have a different viewpoint, rather than being the forces of elemental evil that they are.
Hmm, well, that's not going to fly, I'm afraid. No one could possibly be interested in an RPG where you play a soul-less monstrosity.

The Lord of the Gnomes: A tale of unlikely little murderers braving the dangers of Center Earth in order to cast one of the big folk into the fires of Mount Boom.
You can't make the Gnomes the protagonists! No, the way to handle LoTR is to have the Gnomes murder Frodo on the edge of his victory, then murder Sauron when he's on the edge of his.
Suddenly, all the races of middle-earth must unite before it is too late, to try to defeat the dark Gnomish kingdom that has risen up in Mount Doom.

There's No Place Like Gnome: A dire plot, concocted by vile Gnomish wizards (Vile even for Gnomes) would turn everything and everyone...Into Gnome.
Gnome, Gnome on the Range: Gnomes are performing strange mutilations of cattle. Authorities say it's just pranksters and wild beasts - But you know better. Can you uncover the Secret of the Gnomish Mutilators...Before it's too late?
Go Big or Go Gnome: Evil gnomes are playing nice with a new, naive alien species of shapeshifters, trying to get them on "their" side. Can you rescue the poor, hapless souls...Before they are convinced to turn Gnome?

That's awesome! Of course, I could also see some Gnome-vs-Gnome conflict going on there, as there would undoubtedly be a faction of Purist Gnomes out there that would consider the strange creation of pseudo-gnomes by these wizards to be an insult of the worst order, abominations against the pure evil of the Gnomish race.

These are pretty good ones too. I can see you've got the spirit of this.

Oh, definitely. There might even be some "The enemy of my enemy (Is my useful tool, for now)" in there, too. Which is a very dangerous thing...

People go to prison (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/175369-gnome-bandit-caught) for taking side in the war against the gnome, you know?
Has the Gnome-pocalypse been done? "In the future, only a few survivors against the ravenous gnome hordes!"

Gnome-cursed:One day in the fair,a weird guy with strange ritualistic clothes cursed you.The next morning,your parents 3 feet smaller and are trying to kill you.

Hah! That's a good one. I always knew those Oompa-loompas were not to be trusted!
But... are they Gnomes? or something else... and if not, what is their relation to the REAL gnomes?

There Can Be Only Gnome: Throughout time immortal gnomes have been slaughtering each other in a drive to be the last one standing and receive the Ultimate Mutation. Don't get in the way.

Hmm, I don't know... its a concept with a certain appeal, but there's a couple of points:
1. Gnomes don't get mutations. Mutations are what happens to humans who get too much direct contact with gnomes or their byproducts.
2. If the Gnomes have had a quest throughout history for a "prize", it should probably involve slaughtering all humans, not each other.

True enough. I'm sure you can figure out a way to make it work. :)
Gnome's Eleven: The Eleven Gnomes, murderers of high repute (Among gnomes) are gathering to descend upon a Reno Casino to slaughter all the humans inside. You have eleven hours to stop them. The only problem is, one of your members has been unjustly thrown in jail for eleven days by the ignorant, after smashing some so-called "garden gnomes".
Break your friend out, erase the evidence, stop the gnomes - And figure out what's with all the "elevens".
Before a hundred and eleven humans break even.
That's a great one.
