And now for something much, much less sane

 

Help!: A Thugee cult must hold its annual human sacrifice. But the object that determines who is to be sacrificed has fallen into the hands of British radio's most famous musican-comedians, who have absolutely no idea what they have. Nor are they going to have at all an easy time convincing the authorities that someone is out to get them, meaning that they will have to do something about it themselves....

Thanks' date=' I do not know how you could get the Worms in on it, but I tried. The spice is kind of like oil, both are natural resources, both are used for transportation, blah blah of course oil can be found in a number of locations and the Spice Melange cannot, but meh it isn't supposed to be identical, just close. Actually, wasn't one of the Nazi's problems in WWII getting gasoline? Maybe their stoodge Vlad was supplying it to them from secret caches he had been diverting material to over the last few years, a good place for the PCs to strike and a good reason for him to panic and kill the Old Duke when he was poised to take over (and poossibly find out about it). Maybe the burrowing device is a steam-punkish mole-driller by some other concern...[/quote']

 

Well the worms could be a type of Gravoid, you know the Tremors monster. Nothing against tossing them in.

The Slayers

 

Young and powerful Lina Inverse, a powerful natural mystic, and her small band of faithfull friends travel the world to stop the evil mystic Professor Xellos.

 

Helping Lina is the strong young man known as Gaury, not that smart but a real good fighter and deadly with the home-made gun given to him by he's father.

 

Lady Amelia, the last Princess of a lost kingdom, her abilities come from her knowledge of her peoples lost science, that to the people of this era, look like magic.

 

Zellgotus, a man that was transformed into a living golem. Great strength, and resistance to damage. The golem form makes him a natural amplifier for Lina's or Xellos's mystic abilities.

Project A-Ko

 

The young woman know as A-Ko was the result of a weird science experiment gone wrong. She gained great strength, speed, and durability. She is helped in what has become a fight vs the odd and unusal by her one time enemy the beautiful B-Ko, who has created many weird science devices, the main one is her combat armor. Also helping these two is the cute but bumbling C-Ko, a princess of a distant world where all men look like men and the women usually look like women.

A-ko could be related to the Savages. She has all the brawn, but less of the brain. B-ko is the opposite.

Oh My Goddess

 

The goddess Belldandy, the daughter of a extra-dimensional god, falls in love with a mortal. The boy Ken Chin, he knew her when he very young, he bought a ring for her when she had accidently entered this reality. Belldandy is greatly reduced in power but has many abilities that allow her to help Ken in he's quest to be worthy of Belldandy. Belldandy has taken to being called Bell.

Bell and Ken have help from Bell's younger sister Skuld, a would be clock-work mage. Also helping as well as making life hard for Ken and Bell is Urd, the middle sister, a natural trouble maker. All three are trapped on our world till Ken finds the means to become a god himself.

Obvious typo here; you obviously mean they ARE trapped on our world.

 

And obviously Mara the demoness would have a great deal of interest in preventing Ken from achieving his goal -- a goal he might not even know he has.

A few other notes:

 

1. Some of the characters have weird vulnerabilities that, in the manga and anime, are based on modern Japanese culture. These would have to be altered for 1930's San Francisco. so Mara would dance uncontrollably whenever swing music was played in her presence, while classical music would cause Urd to fall asleep....

 

2. Urd and Mara would also be an interesting contrast, in that bthey are both outrageous women, but Mara tends to be the evil femme fatale type while Urd is simply sexually mischevious (which would be both difficutl to pull off but hilarious in the 1930s). Both would be skilled torturers, however, for reasons that should be fairly obvious....

 

3. Ken Chin would be an extremely skilled driver and mechanic, and a motorcylcist 9and motorcycling engineer) par excellence.

 

4. Where would you hide an abandoned Buddhist temple in san Francisco? Although it does make perfect sense for one to be there -- perhaps it was dmaaged in the 1906 earthquake and nobody bothered to repair it (or tear it down) until Belldandy came along.

 

5. The son of San Francisco's richest man is a year senior at Ken's college -- while secretly plotting to put the whole city under his thumb. A noted rake, he thought Belldandy would be the perfect trophy -- until she made a fool of him, which has made him even more determined to dominate her will and make her his exclusively. sooner or later Mara is going to offer him an alliance....

Suikoden

 

A young Chinese soldier discovers corruption in the government, falls in with a rebellion (which he eventually becomes the leader of), gathers 108 people with specialized abilities (including a fair number of foreigners, and even some people who use what appear to be magic) and establishes a new Chinese government based on justice and freedom. Thus throwing history completely off track.

Re: Pulparize It!

 

Saiyuki: There are some people who are people, and there are some people who are demons. Normally the demons, who are simply beings from a different dimension, get along just fine with the people. But someone has been corrupting the demons and making them kill humans for no reason -- all in an attempt to bring the Greatest Monster of all to renewed life. It has fallen to the handsome priest/marksman Father Genzo and three demons with unique gifts and foibles to root out the conspiracy at the source and restore peace to a world that had no idea it was at war....

Otogi Zoshi: In the 1920s, it is discovered that the five Elemental Magatama (comma-shaped jewels) are missing from the capital. Tje young scion of a noble family is commissioned to bring them back before disaster strikes. But he's ailing, so his sister disguises herself as him, taking along her hulking one-eyed bodyguard. They're joined by a ladies' man (deserter from the Army), a female scholar, and a feral boy with phenomenal strength.

 

As they gather the magatama, our heroes are simultaneously urged on and hindered by venal politicians, and the evidence mounts that the jewels weren't stolen as such, but placed in various parts of Japan...by the same scientist who needs the magatama to save the capital. Or does he?

Has anyone Pulparized Star Wars yet?

 

Here's my take on it -

 

Farm Boy in the Mid West find a pair of odd fellows - one tall and proper, the other short and a bit mouthy and cranky. These fellows claim that they had been on an air ship that had been attacked by a band of air pirates and that they barely escaped and in their plain that crashed miles away.

 

Later, the boy finds a letter that falls out of the pocket of the smaller guy. It's a letter asking for help from an old war vet who lives nearby. Going to visit him, they discover that the old man flew in the war with the farm boy's father..."

 

Anyhow. They go to the big city, meet a guy who's got a pretty scuzzy cargo ship. They set out across the Atlantic to head to the island to meet the writer of the letter. They find that the island that they were to visit has mysteriously disappeareed, only a scorched crater where it once lay.

 

As they are leaving the island, a mysterious shadow falls over their launch and they are captured and pulled into the clouds. They find themselves in a mysterious airship, bigger than any they can imagine (perhaps Laputa).

 

After escaping, they make their way to America and meet with the heroine's contacts, a Mysterious organization of daredevils who determine that this airship is actually a radium-powered sky fortress created by an exiled Dictactor.

 

Knowing that the Dictator's next target is New York City, they send an elite group of pilots against the fortress trying to drop a bomb in some vulnerable point and save the Big Apple.

No one's Pulparized Star Wars for the same reason that no one's made a Western out of Firefly.

The Count of Monte Christo

 

A new millionaire blows into town. Nobody knows where he comes from exactly, or how he got his money. But he saved General Morcerf's son Albert when the boy was kidnapped in Rome, so he can't be all bad. Right?

 

But there are some pretty disturbing events hitting Campaign City at the same time. Scandals, thievery, poisonings...is it possible that Count Montague Christo is somehow responsible? And what deadly secret do three of the city's most important men share?

X-Men

Brought together by Professor Charles Xavier, this adventuring group battles cultists of the Brotherhood and the evil Erik Magnus, a mad scientist with dreams of world domination. In the team are:

Henry "Hank" McCoy: During an experiment under Magnus' watch, Hank made a formula to unlock man-kind's potential ... now he's cursed with his own "Beast" that comes out when aggitated.

Jean Grey: Trained by Xavier, Jean is a gifted psychic detective and works with the group to uncover the mysteries and marvels of the world.

Robert "Bobby" Drake: The youngest and most fearless member of the X-Men. It's this lack of fear and ability to keep cool that's earned him the nickname "Iceman".

Scott "Slim" Summers: The team's leader. Scott is blind during the day, but can see perfectly in the dark. It's this ability that's given him the occasional nickname of "Cyclops" due to his dark glasses.

Warren Worthington III: Team pilot and owner of the "Avenging Angel", a pontoon plane that's an heirloom from his father.
