Curse me for my active imagination! Am I ever going to get a game running? The answer to that is yes, and it is going to be Mana. Mainly since my new idea will require quite a bit of work to even start.
Only a basic idea at this point: Sometime in the near future, the world's resources start to get dangerously low, the ice caps are melting at an alarming rate, causing sea levels to rise several feet, and riots erupt from the smallest spark. During this time, three corporations that have taken pains to hide themselves from the rest of the world, have been moving pieces in place for the ultimate game of chess. A war like none other is about to unfold, fought first in the shadows, the three corporations vying for information and territory, and then, on the streets, seas and sky of the world. The stakes: Control of Earth's nations (such as they will be after the dust clears), and control of Earth.
The players will be part of one of the corporations, perhaps not immediatly, but would be recruited during the first, shadowy stage. There will be two parts to the game, Personal and Vehicular. A large portion of the combats will be vehicle vs vehicle. The Personal part will take the form of a regular RPG, likly involving spying or infiltration, and the small fights that come with those jobs, but most combat will be vehicle-to-vehicle, or vehicle-to-base.
Because of the lack of a good vehicluar RPG system that suits my needs (to my knowledge), this part will need to be homebrew. The Personal part could easily be d20 modern, GURPS, whatever, but the vehicluar stuff will need to be made. This is why this game will be some time in the coming.
Any thoughts?
