Putting The Hack Before The Horse

Rules are all well and good, but without a place to actually act on all those rules, your heroes are stranded in limbo. There's no glory, no riches to be had in limbo. Put simply, limbo sucks. So drop your characters into the worlds of Glorantha, Hawkmoon, Elric and Lankhmar and watch the shinies pile up.
