Monster Truckers
Monster Truckers is a game that was recently funded on BackerKit. You play as a monster (Vampire, Ghost, Werewolf, Mummy, etc) driving big rigs through a Mad Max-esque landscape following a war between monsters and humans. The monsters lost and were largely de-powered by Necrotechnic (NT) Bombs. I have no idea how long I am going to have to wait before I receive my reward for supporting the game but I have begun batting around character ideas. This is my favorite so far.

Monster Truckers Campaign: Earth-3847, just a few years after the war between humans and monsters, Samael has been reduced to driving a big rig between human-controlled cities to earn a living. He has joined up with a handful of other monsters for mutual protection out in the Worstlands, the ruined wilderness areas that lie between population centers.
I envision adventures with plots lifted straight from the films and TV shows from the Truck Driving and CB craze of the late 70s and early 80s like "BJ & the Bear", "Convoy", "Smokey and the Bandit", and "Dukes of Hazzard" only with the downtrodden drivers being creatures plucked from Universal's Classic Monsters.

Because I want all of my characters to be compatible with each other for potential crossovers in campaign I run, there is also a d20 version of Sam. In this take, he is a normal Imp without his Alternate Form or Spell-like Abilities, an effect of the NT Bombs with some of his Skill Points and Feats changed to reflect the setting.
