Mine is more civ vs civ, that's why I put world vs world, which encompass worlds on each side, and it can involve each one, sort of all of the above. However, I guess this is one of those things that separates sci-fi from fantasy as genres.

You can have 'world vs. world' in fantasy... just drop the spaceships and add magic portals, or have an invasion from/into Hell/Heaven/Fairyland.

Or you can play Rifts and have all of the above, all at the same time.

Sure, one campaign led off from Q1 where we were going into the worlds from the portals, we even stole Lolth's steampunky spider ship. We also did a high level campaign invading Hell to stop a devil invasion. These weren't so common, and people still look at me weird sometimes when I mention them.

Did and done, I played Rifts for almost 10 years, I dropped a chunk of cash at Games of Berkeley on Shattuck.

A Glitter Boy, Cosmo Knight and Vagabond walk into a bar; the Vagabond dies. It was an MDC bar.

I have voted for community but woudl have prefered culture vs culture. I like my conflcfts being about things rather down to earth - and then spice it with a little bit chaos vs. order for special effects and random monsters to avoid that some players get too bored.

I want to run a Man vs. Gods campaign.

So like half the Final Fantasy games.

Heh, I want to see a Man vs Gods campaign where the men are summarily curb-stomped.  Because, you know.  Men.  Versus GODS.

All of these are potentially interesting to me.  I would another one that I have made a lot of traction with: 'brother vs. brother'.

Tribe 8 did this pretty well

Schemers versus schemers.

Quote from: Spinachcat;896806I want to run a Man vs. Gods campaign.

The last Amber campaign I ran had an aspect of this. A group on one Earth found out about the existence of the multiverse and Amberites and Chaos lords, and very carefully, slowly, and gradually started to set up a huge organization dedicated to protect their Earth and other parallel Earths from interference. This meant learning a lot of supernatural stuff that humans could do, learning how to find shadow paths, and later broken pattern, secondary and direct observation of known Amberites or chaos creatures to study their ability and weaknesses, making alliances (and sometimes taking over) governments on other earths, building up technologies capable of harming Amberites/Chaos-lords and disabling their powers, and then eventually hunting and capturing or killing the ones who were operating in their area of the multiverse.

So it was Man vs. Gods, where the PCs were the 'Gods'.

It was quite interesting, because I played it so that early in the campaign this organization was relatively harmless but the longer the campaign went on the more powerful and dangerous they became.  Eventually they had different factions (the humans who thought some trans-dimensional creatures could be reasoned with versus those who wanted to contain/kill them all) but they also eventually started manipulating Chaos beings and Amberites for advantage, turning them on each other, or recruiting renegades to help them, etc.

In the end the organization was taken down, but they actually got far enough to be a really serious threat. And all without adding any new powers or deus ex machina to give them an edge!

I imagine the players found this to be an immensely satisfying roleplaying opportunity. Sounds like a good video game premise actually.

I really like "clash of cultures" or Civilization vs savagery in this case. One of the most awesome is history of America - colonists vs Indians. While the movie "The Revenant" really sucked, I absolutely loved the scene where Indians raided the colonists. The action, cinematics was very well done and most of all, Indians were really alien culture there. I wish they made more movies about this theme. So I would not mind if there were well made historic RPG game about this in existance - RQ supplement of the mythic series would be awesome.

Well, they loved the campaign, and this was a part of it they were quite surprised by (because some of them were veteran Amber players,not at all used to 'normal' humans being any kind of threat at all).  

Of course, I've never had an Amber campaign that its players haven't loved.
