Amusingly, I was just about to post something along these lines for one of my several scene ideas that have seemed to never quite take off. Specifically, for this particular one, taking the Odyssey as a bit of inspiration... but instead of having a cunning Odysseus surviving by his wit against various mythological and mundane beings, having it be an overhyped "hero" who gets all the credit while his long suffering servant is the unsung heroine who actually gets them out of trouble, possibly trouble of a lewd variety.As of late a roleplay set in like, a mythological ancient Greece or Egypt would be beyond swell. Of course it's hard to pin down the kinda tone I want for either.
Another one would be a Mobile Suit Gundam roleplay, playing out the interactions between a squad of pilots who have to navigate that wartorn world of the Universal Century's One Year War. Lots of opportunity for nuance with the characters having to wrestle with the good and evil of both of the major factions along with how the war swings from favoring one faction to then seeing said faction lose. I'd be aiming for original characters and not subverting the canonical plot too much.
Lastly, I suppose grasping at my roleplaying roots, a historical roleplay set in ancient Han China (or a fantasy setting inspired by such), likely focusing around a ruler and his family, playing out some of the dynastic drama that comes with inheritable power, and especially the external threats that would come with ruling over a state in such ancient times.
I'm sure there's countless more scenes I've dreamed of over the years, but those three are some that come quickest to mind and have eluded me the longest.
