Are you familiar with Torg? That has an interesting mix of settings. And
some good ideas on how to produce mixed settings of your own.
I remember them vaguely as
There was the Cyberpapacy - medieval religious intolerance +
shadowrun-style
cyberpunk trappings.
Call of Cthulhu/Primitive (Orrorsh)
A relatively straightforward d&D style fantasy setting (Aysle)
A sort of mixture of Egyptian mythos + superheroes setting (The Mummy
meets
The Rocketeer, sort of.)
And a really quite cool Feng Shui/Blade Runner mix.
If you want more (accurate) details, shout, I will have to look them up.
