MWWG on a ringworld

[Utgardloki]

In the Runequest forum, I started a thread about ideas for a ringworld. With 2 million times the surface area of the planet earth, and ringworld engineers whose intention is to study interactions of different species under different conditions, the idea occurred to me to have a "Macho Women with Guns" area.

But it doesn't make sense for these ringworld engineers to clone the Macho Women with Guns setting as based on a Earth future history. It makes more sense to clone a different fantasy setting but changing it to a MWWG type setting. Or instead of cloning a fantasy setting, perhaps they'd create a setting based on parts of other fantasy settings.

So, which fantasy settings or parts of fantasy settings make for good candidates to "MWWG-ify", and what are good ideas to implement? A few candidates:

Deadlands. Beautiful cowgirls, Indians in buckskin bikinis, and creepy ghosts. What's not to love?

Cthulhu Dreamlands. Tentacles are nice.

Rokugan. I could do some research on the internet for ideas for lady samurai.

Ravenloft. Sexy gypsies AND sexy vampires. Voted the best place to die by Wizard Guy magazine.

Warcraft. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat made female minotaurs look sexy, and with those purple elves in brass bikinis, what else does the place need?

Iron Kingdoms I suppose some way could be found to justify warcasters wearing coal-powered armor bikinis, but other than that, what other difference would there be?

World of Greyhawk I went through the Greyhawk Gazeteer and came up with ideas for snake charmers, "bandita kingdoms", singing elves in Celene, grandmas winning a major battle in the Granny March, marijuana plants in Highfolk, renegade nuns in the Theocracy of the Pail, lots of rats in Ratsk (and all the cartoons say that women are afraid of mice), new age stuff in Rel Astra, lots of potential for the Sea Princesses, could have some interesting dungeons in Stonehold, and good shopping malls in the Valley of the Mage Girl.

Maybe I won't make this a ringworld, but a regular sized world. This requires choosing which elements of the fantasy genre to satarize. The candidates that seem best to me so far:

1. Rokugan Beautiful samurai of animal clans such as the carp, the unicorn, and the cat, who not only battle sadistic oni, but also samurai of clans named after icky animals like the spider clan, the rat clan, and the slime mold clan.

Oh, and the Pig King is absolutely evil! :twisted:

2. World of Greyhawk Not the whole world, but perhaps the Bandida Kingdoms and Pinkhawk City. I could also have areas based on puns such as Celene (woods full of singing elves) and the Boned Marches. (But what sort of guy would want to go there?)

3. Ravenloft Again, not the whole world, but the domain where a sexy vampire menaces sexy villagers who seek aid from sexy gypsies who have sexy lesbian affairs with sexy vampires... The southern woods can have sexy werewolves while the northern plain can be inhabited by supermodels (otherwise known as sexy skeletons).

4. Forgotten Realms Not the whole world, but a few pieces have potential. The sorceresses in red can be battling the sorceresses in black. The Gail-Lands have the kind of generic medieval-themed fantasy that can be combined well with Arthurian mythos and the Gargoyles concept. (But can anybody think of a use for all those rock-hard bodies that are only animated at night?)

5. Cthulhu Dreamlands Called the Screamlands, what better place is there for inhuman menaces to menace?

6. Gor Every nerdish fan-boy has got to have an area like Gor, where scantily-clad women keep men chained up and dominated, except for in that one city where the men always wear masks and rule cruelly.

I thought about including the Deadlands, but the concept is not to clone Earth areas, so Deadlands-like ideas can be developed in the standard MWWG setting. Ditto for lady vikings in fur bikinis.
