Has anyone beside me played a prolonged campaign with any of these?
I, obviously, played a campaign of Omega World, which to me was the best of the bunch for these, and Jong ran a campaign (where I played for once) of Pulp Heroes...were any of the others playable? How did they go?

I haven't run any of them, really. d20 just doesn't bake my biscuit these days. But that Spelljammer issue is calling out for an Iron Gauntlets conversion...
Does anyone have a complete list of them?
I would LOVE to play or run an Iron Lords of Jupiter game. I have never had the chance of doing so, though.
I'd love to see a list of these, and what issue their in. Does Paizo sell back issues of Polyhedron?
Yes, Paizo sells back issues
A first pass at listing them:
Dungeon #90 Pulp Heroes
Dungeon #91 Shadow Chasers
Dungeon #92 Spelljammer
Dungeon #93 Thunderball Rally
Dungeon #94 Omega World
Dungeon #95 Mecha Crusade
Dungeon #96 Genetech / Delta Green
Dungeon #97 V for Victory
Dungeon #99 Hijinx
Dungeon #101 Iron Lords of Jupiter
Dungeon #102 Pulp Heroes Redux / Iron Lords of Jupiter part 2
Dungeon #105 Deathnet
Dungeon #108 Dark Matter
That was fast! :)
Care to give a short summary about them? What's Hijinx, Iron Lords or Deathnet, for example?
How does Paizo work? Are those PDFs and if so do they have DRM protection?

Mostly they have physical issues, to be had here:

The have some download products of unavailable issues, available here:

I think they would say if they are DRM, but I have never purchased any that way, so I don't know.

Hijinx - Basically Josie and the Pussycats and similar "cartoon rock and roll adventure" type things.
Deathnet - Virtual reality setting, where the players are stuck in a simulated gaming reality. Sort of the matrix meets MMORPGS. Here's a summary. (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=85268)
Iron Lords of Jupiter - Planetary Romance, written in the vein of Burroughs Barsoom/Mars books.
Some of the material from these have made it into various d20 supplements, especially for d20 Modern.
I've said numerous times that I wish two things:
* for a collection of all these minigames into one handy volume
* an expansion upon them where necessary
Some of these would make for great GURPS-like sourcebooks for d20. Iron Lords of Jupiter is at the top of that list for me. Omega World and V For Victory would be the next entries on that list.
What's "V for Victory"?
Quote from: joewolzWhat's "V for Victory"?
Was just wondering that myself as I hadn't remembered that title.
Quote from: joewolzWhat's "V for Victory"?
World War II game.
I had the "Omega World" issue, and like a complete moron, I threw it out.
It was far better than the offical "gamma world" retread that was released later.
Omega World is the best D20 Version of Gamma World thus far available to us. It was better than Darwin's World (which to be fair wasn't precisely trying to BE Gamma World), and far better than Bruce Baugh's "gamma world" or D20 Future's Post-Apocalyptic setting (both of which supposedly WERE trying to be Gamma World).

Oh yes, oh hell yes. d20 goodness in several tasty dishes!
My only complaint about Iron Lords is that it is d20M based. That's not a dealbreaker for me, but I would much rather have seen a planetary romance game that allows one to play a Barbarian or Wizard.

That would rock on toast.
I would love to have seen the better mini games done as 96 page one offs, with the rules, setting, and adventure in one book. That would be long enough to expand a few ideas and plenty of material for a short campaign.
