Genre Mash-Up Games

I posted this question on the Dragonsfoot forums, but it went over like wet toast there. How many multi-genre RPGs are out there? I don't mean generic RPGs like GURPS or Hero System, but games that have dedicated backgrounds or concepts behind them, like LoC.
Here are the ones I can think of-
  • Torg (yay!)
  • Rifts (meh)
  • Tales from the Floating Vagabond (the heir to the Lords of Creation throne, in my humble opinion)
  • Man, Myth & Magic
  • Fringeworthy
  • Stargate SG-1
  • Dr. Who
  • Encounter Critical 
  • Timeship
  • Shadowrun
  • Timemaster
There are probably some other really obvious ones, but I'm literally sneaking this in at the eleventh hour before I hit the hay.

APPRENTICE

Here's the first of what should be a LOT of npcs for Lords of Creation- Octobriana, Queen of the Russian Underground. I won't go into the long, weird history of this character except to say that she first came to my attention in the pages of The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, a comic from British writer/artist Bryon Talbot. Anyway, if you already know who she is, cool. If not, you know what to do.



Octobriana
ATTACK: 18x2
DAMAGE: wpn
INITIATIVE: +5
ARMOR: none
LIFE POINTS: 28
MOVEMENT: 70'
LUCK: 13
NUMBER: 1
EXPERIENCE: Yer on yer own, kiddo.

Automatic Rifle-2
Knife-2
Pistol-3

Octobriana has the first four levels of Commando and the first level of Street Criminal. She is, for all intents and purposes, immortal.
