All the classic, tacky, and trite stereotypes have found their way into D&D. I half wish I could say I regret it, but... well... quite frankly they're fun gameplay. Sometimes I regret the highbrow intrigue and darkness pursued by modern DMs... I really miss the days of bugbears and carnivorous apes and leprechauns... am I the only one?

You should make a CS focusing around these cinema archetypes.

Or if not you, then Somebody (maybe me?)

It shouldn't be too hard to make a CS that revolves around ninjas, pirates, cowboys, zombies, and robots. Add dinosaurs and giant monsters in there for fun, too.

ninjas have shuriken, smokebombs, swords, and the mystic arts.

Cowboys have rifles, six shooters, and a posse.

ergo: COWBOYS.

gun wielding posses trump the mystic arts any day.

this is why there's one ninja left (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/world/14434176.htm)
and many (http://www.dallascowboys.com/), many (http://www.georgestrait.com/) cowboys (http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blbushcitizen.htm).

Yummy N-Bombs, lol sounds like something a parent would say to a kid after swearing "Johnny, Why'd you just drop the N-Bomb?!!!?" BTW PIRATES OWN! I mean they have guns (beating cowboys) Swords (ninja go splat) a freaking hecka awsome ship (bye bye zombie) and sooooooo much beer and pillaging (robot go splat) and who needs a posse when you have your own crew to boss around??!

you make a very good point... up until the four-armed gun-toting adamantine robots show up.
