* The ''[[Eberron]]'' campaign setting is ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' <small>FEATURING MAGITEK</small>!
* ''[[Spelljammer]]'' is literally ''Dungeons & Dragons'' <small>IN SPACE</small>! It was largely unpopular, but it has a significant cult following.
* ''d20 Future'' is ''[[D20 Modern]]'' (which is ''Dungeons & Dragons'' <small>IN THE MODERN WORLD</small>!) <small>IN THE FUTURE</small>!... oh, all right: <small>IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE</small>!
* ''d20 Past'' and ''d20 Apocalypse'' are ''Dungeons & Dragons'' <small>IN THE LATE 1800s</small> and <small>[[After the End]]</small> respectively. Both also have ''Urban Arcana'' style settings.
* ''[[Gamma World]]'' was ''already'' ''D&D'' <small>[[After the End]]</small>!
* ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' began as ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' <small>IN SPACE</small>! but is now pretty much its own entity; it still, however, has goblins in space, orcs in space, elves in space, ogres in space, the [[Church Militant]] in space, vikings in space, communists in space and Chaos Gods in space. [[Unperson|Previous versions]] also had dwarfs in space.
* [[White Wolf]] has a bizarre relationship with this trope, [[Retcon]], and [[Spiritual Successor]].
** ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]'' was originally conceived as the medieval RPG, ''[[Ars Magica]]'', <small>IN THE MODERN DAY</small>! -- but then begat not only ''Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade'' (''MtA'' <small>IN THE RENAISSANCE</small>!), but, once [[White Wolf]] sold the rights to [[Ars Magica]] itself, ''Dark Ages: Mage''.
Line 12:
** There are also the settings in different cultures. Best known is the ''Year of the Lotus'' event which gave Asian treatments of every gameline, the flagship title being ''[[Kindred of the East]]''.
** And then there's ''Infinite Macabre'', which is the ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' <small>IN SPACE</small>.
* ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' is ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' <small>IN THE FUTURE</small>! Although not <small>IN SPACE</small>! as the Migou tend to blow up anything the NEG tries to keep up.
** Steve Jackson Games has already done ''[[GURPS]]: Cthulhupunk'', a sourcebook that puts Cthulhu <small>IN CYBERPUNK</small>!
* Star ''[[Munchkin]]'': "Kill the monsters. Grab the treasure. Stab your buddy <small>IN SPACE</small>!" [http://wargames.com.hk/oscommerce/images/res/starmun_91_130.jpg\]{{Dead link}}
** It should go without saying that the other Munchkins are merely Munckin <small>WITH PIRATES</small>, <small>WITH KUNG FU</small>, <small>IN THE [[The World of Darkness|WORLD OF DARKNESS]]</small>, <small>WITH ZOMBIES</small>, and so forth.
* The old ''Renegade Legions'' games is about The Roman Empire... IN SPAAAAAAAAACE!!
* Spacemaster is [[Role Master]]... In space!
* [[Traveller]] ''Intersteller Wars'' is the Greco-Persian wars in space, all the way from Marathon through Alexander's conquest.
* [[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly.]] Dear LORD, Monopoly. There's Monopoly WITH SPONGEBOB! Monopoly WITH DISNEY!! Monopoly WITH LORD OF THE RINGS!! Just check Google Images. Or any store that sells classic games.
** Also [[Pokémon|Pokemonopoly]], although for whatever reason they didn't portmanteau it and marketed it as Pokemon Monopoly.
* Parodied with Greg Stolze's free rpg [http://www.gregstolze.com/downloads.html In Spaaaaaaace!], which is billed as a generic space opera...IN SPAAAAAACE! {{spoiler|Yes, generic space operas are ''already'' in spaaaaaaace. That is, of course, the joke.}}
