I'm following his lead and doing my own. A couple ideas with rough outlines wondering what other players would prefer. If you have suggestions of your own, feel free to bring them up.
Shadowrun
They are legends. They are dangerous. They are feared. They are to be avoided- unless you have one of them on your side. They are shadowrunners.
That title covers a variety of skill sets, from the accuracy to nail a target from a thousand meters away to the stealth needed to sneak into a tightly guarded environment and steal someone's files before they- or their security- know you're there. Runners know they need to use every tool at their disposal if they want to maintain that all-important edge on their competition.
Shadowrun takes place several decades in the future were cyberpunk and fantasy co-exist. Old forms of magic have re-emerged. Megacorporations control the lives of their employees and command their own armies. Technology advances make cyberware (mechanical replacement body parts) and bioware (augmented vat-grown body parts implanted in place of natural organs) common. The Computer Crash of 2029 led to the creation of the Matrix, a worldwide computer network that users interact with via direct neural interface. When conflicts arise, corporations, governments, organized crime syndicates, and even wealthy individuals subcontract their dirty work to specialists, who then perform "shadowruns" or missions undertaken by deniable assets without identities or those that wish to remain unknown.
It combines genres of cyberpunk, urban fantasy and noir, with elements of conspiracy fiction, horror and detective fiction.

I stopped halfway through the Death Valley game; this would be the second half, altered slightly into a stand alone game so that anyone could join.
Evangelion
At the dawn of the new millennium, mankind is besieged by the Angels- a threat unlike any faced before. Conventional weapons are useless against them. They can only be stopped by means of the Evangelions - bio-engineered vessels born from the Angels' own being. But this forbidden knowledge is also the key to bringing about a startling new genesis for the human race. Placed in the hands of it's young pilots, the final fate of humanity resting upon their shoulders, the Evas are the world's last hope.
Easily the best game I've ever DM'd, and had an awesome group.
