Deep underground, a fell warlock toils. Horrid crossbreeding experiments create misshapen foulspawn, who are barely kept alive by blood magic. The greatest and most hideous of his creations are allowed to die once fully grown, so that they might be reanimated as undead warriors to serve his god.
These are the Pcs, sent forth to do battle in a divine war waged for the prize of omnipotence. A war that has long since ended, though the vast scars remain everywhere.
Now they must find a place they can call their own, in a world ruled by a god they were created to oppose.

I keep working on them, but my players just want to do typical dungeon crawls in shitty approximations of Tolkienesque worlds.

I also want to run or play some cyberpunk

With the amount of desire to play, I'm surprised there isn't a go to system/game for modern cyberpunk. I would say SR but the magic and some mechanics is a turn off for many

World of Darkness. All the players are scientists/journalists/people needed for an expedition in the wilderness. They're employed by a university to explore unknown locales, find information and historical artifacts, and report their findings. Of course, they run into monsters, portals to other dimensions, labyrinthine catacombs and mind-bending horror. Think a blend of Indiana Jones and Lovecraft.

Also, there may or may not be some comic relief or dumb puns.

Bunch of horror movie villain-tier monsters get together to fight off something more terrible.

>Greek-style bronze-age in a prehistoric world; sometimes with a bit of a monster hunter feel.

>You're an immortal soul trapped in the lowest circle of Hell. You must fight your way to the top. In the thread that inspired this, they were talking about it being the Aztec Hell, with the entire thing basically being Doom 2016 mixed with Far Cry Primal.

>Star Wars podrace plot that goes along a bunch of unique planets. The ultimate galactic finale race is basically the plot to Redline, but also exploring the underground element a bit more.

>Black powder/Napoleonic fantasy, the player(s) are mercenaries that are trying to gain their own titles in a time of political struggle and war.

>Souls-like in a desert setting with an obviously dying sun. The players are trying to gather the souls of gods-on-earth to try and keep the thing going by feeding souls to the bonfires; each in the center of its own holy oasis.

>In the aftermath of a devastating war using immensely powerful arcano-tech, the massive golems that we believe caused the destruction of the societies past wander the world; forces unto themselves. Our only defense are the orders of knights in magitek powered armor; and even then, only just.

>Motorcycle cops patrolling the massive highway that circumnavigates the world and connects all cities. Entire Mad Max-like road cultures have built themselves around and under this massive complex.

I would absolutely love to run my Only War campaign. There'd be one or two war movies worth of campaigns before I went All Guardsmen Party on them and had them doing more stuff. Maybe give them a chance to be Gland Warriors and have them sort of be like Project ORION supersoldiers and get involved as the brutal hammerstroke in some spy-vs-spy Inquisitor or Rogue Trader shit. Give them opportunities to advance their own position and get involved in the sort of important stuff where they have the freedom to start exploring Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader careers and opportunities. I know at least one--maybe two--players who would want to try and be Astartes if they have the chance.

Bronze age mesopotania low-fantasy with the PCs as wandering bounty hunters/mercenaries.

Running a campaign with a small spaceship crew ala firefly/Han Solo & Co.

The setting takes place in a planet-spanning castle. Civilisation has fallen and small settlements exists scattered in some if the greater halls. Water, firewood and food are hard to come by and you can never be certain if the floor might collapse when exploring new sectors. The tech level is around 18th century but most people live lifes similar to medieval townspeople. Farming is restricted to the grand halls with skylights high, high above or mushroomfarms on the musky cellar-regions.

>Characters are youngsters inspired by the previous versions
>Tone down the powerlevels
>Street-level or city level game

I will never play this because my players won't build three different characters for a game.

1920's fantasy kingdom is taken over by a super religious king which kickstarts a temperance movement. The players are employed by the Dwarven moonshiners to run their product over the border and set up speak easies around the kingdom, which kickstarts their career in the criminal underworld.

There's a difference between the setting and the rules. When it was originally published Hârn did not even have an official system, and simply existed as a place to set adventures.

If I recall correctly, there's both a Fate and a Burning Wheel hack for Hârn, and you could also use any skill-based system for it while still retaining the Hârnic "feel". Runequest 6 would work, but GURPS would probably be ideal due to the rather different way magic works in the setting.

I've ran this. One of the most fun campaigns I've done. The actual Black Crusade part only happened in the very last session, though. We had to wrap things up quickly because one of the players was moving away, so we represented the actual crusade part in form of one mass battle to take a critical Imperial hive world.
Still, it was fun to have the PCs go from a ragtag bunch of nobodies to feared champions of Chaos with armies of cultists and mercenaries at their command. Also the most hilariously disfunctional party I've ever seen.

Mummy; the Curse is, let's say it this way, Onyx Path-like.
There is literally, and I cannot repeat this enough, a rule that says that your characters have to be Egyptian or Nubian in ethnicity.
It goes on to say that "while Peruvian, Chinese and other native cultures had their own forms of mummification, these cultures did not under any circumstances have the mystical prowess to create true mummies."
In a game series that's ostensibly narrative and heavy on Rule 0, Onyx Path is starting to cram in so many SJW tracts and values that it's unbelievable. I don't exactly remember the actual phrasing (and I Shift+Del'd the book after I saw that line), but I do remember that it was incredibly heavy-handed and went out of its way to explain that this was not a suggestion, this was a fundamental rule.

I have wanted, for the longest time, to run a game using 5e set on Innistrad, and also travelling through the various Planes of the Multiverse, mainly because of the Planeshifts that were released based on Zendikar and Innistrad.

The people I play with want to play it and we almost had a set up but instead opted for a kitchen sink fantasy that a friend is running, starting from level 13 as opposed to my campaign starting at level 5.

Its a real shame though, they all decided they were going to play Elves that had been left behind when a planeswalker had visited Innistrad, and had taken to living in one of the local communities. They all acted like they were so clever and had such shit eating grins when they announced that they were playing Elves that I've decided that if we ever do play an MtG campaign that I'm throwing New Phyrexia at them using custom monsters.
