I'm toying with the idea of running a GURPS campaign on Gamer's Plane. If I were to do this (and I must point out that it would likely be sometime next year if I decide to do it), which of the following would be most interesting to you?
ISWAT
The good news is, there are other Earths. Maybe an infinite number. The bad news is, someone out there doesn't like us. Thirty years ago, a physicist named Paul Van Zandt invented a panachronic projector, a machine that could send matter into another dimension. He discovered that there exist multiple Earths, some much like our own, but others that are very different. You are members of Infinity Unlimited, an organization that explores, catalogs, and protects these other Earths. But not everyone in the multiverse is friendly. There exist other organizations devoted to corrupting or conquering these other Earths. You are members of ISWAT (Interworld Special Weapons & Tactics), an agency within Infinity that doesn't officially exist. Your job is to go into troublesome situations and resolve them, by whatever means necessary. Characters would begin at 300 points, and need not necessarily be from this Earth, or even human!
SHADOWS OF NEW ORLEANS
The world is full of strangeness, and much of it goes unseen. But you've seen the strangeness that no one else can see. You've been recruited by an agency so secret that even the government doesn't know that they exist, dedicated to protecting the public from the forces of Shadow and to keeping the Veil intact. See, if the public knew that that big ugly thug was really an ogre, there would be a panic. Your job is to prevent that, while protecting the public from that which is unseen. Characters would begin at 200 points.
RIVERWORLD
You have died. You remember your death, but when you awaken once more, you are on the banks of a great river. Around you are thousands of other human beings, naked and hairless. In fact, anyone who has ever lived on Earth is resurrected on the banks of an immense river. But how, and more importantly, why? Who is responsible? Characters would be either real or fictional historical personages, based on 150 points.
FINAL FRONTIER
You are members of a starship crew in a setting that we would work together to create in our Session Zero.
