Where the value of Always is > 1 minute.

A) The God Squad: A Torg game in which each player is a religious figure from their own cosm. While it was setup to be a standard Torg game, I thought the fact that you had this group of disparate theologians fighting to vanquish evil while getting into discussions over what's right, wrong, morally acceptable and spiritually dubious.

Because the game was about fake worlds and the 'real' world, you'd have Catholics and Muslims arguing with priests of the Aylish Fire God and Ra and the god of the Race from Tharkold.

B) AEGIS: A spycraft game set in a supers universe. Nick Fury stuff, with an enemy that wears green and occasional fights with aliens and low powered supers.

I was figuring on using classic D&D or other d20 monsters as supers (really, what's the difference between an earth elemental and Marvel's Sandman?), or possibly integrating M&M into it, depending on how well it does integrate with classic d20. Or maybe SAS d20.

C) Time Travellers Stricly Cash: Okay, I ripped the title of a crappy SF Novel, but the idea just popped into my head as I was doing laundry. Time Travellers keep getting sent back in time to 'make things right'. And, usually, when they're done (i.e. Kyle Reece) they die for their troubles, or just fade out of the timestream.

So, what if they didn't die? What if they saved their timeline, and ended up stranded here in the 21st century?

There's a number of ways to go with it. One way is to start it out with the tasks uncompleted, and they have to then work together to accomplish them (and what if their tasks are contradictory? One person has to save the senator, the other has to kill him?).

And what if they end up stuck now after they're done? They've sacrificed their own existence to save their timeline (or possibly to ensure it never happens), so they're all together in this world they DID make, but that now has no place for them.

Also an interesting possibility for differing worldviews.

Maybe I should just turn that last one into a crappy SF novel and self publish it.
