It occured to me that Xena, Warrior Princess might make for an interesting DW step. Plenty of gods running around, to give Doug headaches, not to mention the twisted version of ancient history. (I don't know if this has been mentioned before; I feel like it has been, but EZBoard's "Search" function didn't turn it up.)
On another note, the George R. R. Martin spam message of a few days ago got me thinking about whether GRRM's various books could make good DW steps. Song of Ice and Fire (his current series, a tie-in to which the spam was advertising) wouldn't be a good choice -- not only is it ongoing, but also the tone is pretty wrong. (It's simultaneously too epic and too gritty for Doug to fit in well.) However, some of his older works might work, though they'd be fairly off-beat as steps go. The Armageddon Rag has some cool music-related stuff, which might interact oddly with Doug's powers; Fevre Dream would give a chance to do Doug on the 19-century Mississippi River with an interesting take on vampires. Tuf Voyaging might be the oddest mix, but perhaps actually the most workable story-wise, since it's a collection of short stories.
Thoughts on either of these?
