Talking of cosmological fractals, I thought something like this would be fun - and you could apply modifiers from shape to type to subsectors and clusters. Dead galaxy, garden worlds less likely, etc.

The Uncanny X-Men Campaign Set
This campaign guide includes a 100 page Roster book that is quite similar to and pretty much an update of the X-Men book.
Classic Marvel Uncanny X-Men Campaign Set download
The Campaign Set has multiple books..so the Roster book could be devoted to just that..and it is designed to pack in the characters…multiple columns, entries split over pages if necessary. Could have used smaller type and headings to fit more in perhaps.
However, there are way over 300 characters here. Pretty much anyone you could want up to that time, including early and late career versions of the original X-Men, Magneto etc.

FASERIP Traveller
FASERIP – Traveller – anyone ever done that?
I’ve been considering the Guardians of the Galaxy, given a recent writeup and arrival.
I have been considering a rough rule of thumb for the purpose of the exercise…15 or F is Remarkable…and perhaps some sort of exponential scale from there, so Incredible is G, Amazing is H, etc. No combat details or anything worked out there.
Perhaps Jack of All Trades is your Typical skill level and 1 is Good, that sort of thing.
So the Excellent Agility Star-Lord might have Pistol 3 and the Marksman Rocket Raccoon with Remarkable Agility might have Rifle 5…that sort of thing.
Powers would have Skill Levels perhaps and ones that blast etc. damage extrapolated from equating the Traveller ones and the MSH weapons that are similar. Remarkable is 5D or that sort of thing. In MSH terms an Unearthly space cannon would not quite splat an all-15 or Remarkable character…so that could be in the 10-12D ballpark.
NCIS
FATE: NCIS
A team of cops investigate an ever-lengthening list of reasons not to work for the US Navy and related organisations near Virginia.

The GM and players then construct an investigation. This will make a good short oneshot. There are enough characters in the cast below except for an exceedingly large gaming group. In that case, make up a guest star NCIS team of agents to work with.
Basic investigation checklist
1. Where was the body found
2. What condition was the body in and what evidence was found
3. Who knew the victim
4. Why was the victim killed
5. Who are the suspects
6. What are the possible motives
7. Who is most likely to have done it
8. Who actually did it

Omnis Mundi – Tasmania
FATE : Omnus Mundi – Tasmania
Draft 1.0 – October 3, 2013 – Blue Tyson
TASMANIA
A shining beacon of technological might and communications superiority. All alone in a prehistoric megafauna wonderland.
How did this isolated Australian state remain so advanced?
The legends say it was through the efforts and leadership of one man:
KnightMark.
The stories conflict. A run of the mill citizen taking advantage of an opportunity. A crazed drunken madmen adherent of an ancient code of athletic competition. A teacher. A renegade Sword Saint. A racing driver.
Whatever the background, the reality is this: a grizzled cyborg, more machine than man. A tattooed brown half-face with one jewelled optic piece in place of an eye. Some believe he was alive in the Time Before and wants to keep Tasmania as close to a Golden Land as he can.
While not official policy, the disappearance or death of those pushing religious propaganda or authoritarian lines are extremely unlikely to be noticed, let alone investigated. The Sword Saint mortality rate is higher here than anywhere else in the world, it is said.

Extra
Thylacine Guard Trio
KnightMark is generally accompanied by his protectors and friends, three megafauna extremely intelligent Tasmanian Tigers. While he may not be an overwhelming physical specimen, Buddi, Ruffy and Syril most definitely are. Buddi is an all rounder, Ruffy is a strong, hulking brute and Syril lean and very fast. Massive Trouble, Damage and Speed, if you like.

+4 Flashy

+2 Forceful

Northern Tasmania
The area around Burnie is evolving into an almost-Metropolis. In fact, a nascent spaceport exists just outside Devonport, guarded by a force of giant DiprotoMecha. The town of what in ancient history was Elliott is now a giant server farm.
Cradle Mountain is generally off limits, home to the Yowie. This species of hairy giant mountain man takes a dim view of tourists. Except perhaps with tomato sauce added. And Lake St Clair most definitely has monsters within.
Southern Tasmania
The ruins of Hobart are home to several tribes of Wallaby Men and other intelligent marsupial species. Further out from there the bush becomes more and more prehistoric.
One notable predator may be found in the Tasmanian bush. The fearsome drop bear. While generally happily omnivorous, surviving on the local eucalpyts and smaller wildlife, the presence of foreigners inspires a lethal bloodlust. The Wallaby Men don’t bad an eyelid, as these giant furry bundles of Death From Above only attack anything that doesn’t have a significant portion of Australian DNA. In fact, the local tribes and the not unintelligent beasts often warned of in guidebooks as Drop Bears may even have a mutually beneficial working arrangement. Massive Athletics and Damage from claws. Great climbing ability and +2 on attacking and surprising those without sufficient Australian DNA.
Find any ancient palaeontogical tome about the Great Southern Land. Assume it was extremely correct if you value your life exploring the Tasmanian wilderness.
