Possible Short RPG Maker Titles

Below you'll find six different short RPG Maker stories. I need to pick one so I can try making it in RPG Maker VX Ace and then re-make it in the new RPG Maker tool to see which I like better. I'm opening up the "which is coolest" to anyone who reads this, because I like them all for different reasons and cannot decide.

"The Case of the Well Done Butler"

In the forgotten wasteland of Siberia, a specially built mansion serves as the diplomatic retreat where humans and the things from the Other Realms meet every 1,000 years to determine how much influence those things may have on the mortal realm.

Whiskey is ungrateful for losing his inherent catness. -- Role: Healer/Support; "Not everyone WANTS to contemplate their navel.

Killian Vaal, a magic spirit that Petra arrested who had been coerced and bound by humans to do evil things. Currently "on parole" by assisting Petra. Dislikes humans, vaguely racist against them.

"The Castle That Wasn't There"

Two days ago, a runner arrived from Thane Dawmond with a message for the Church of the Sacred Flame, reading simply, "A castle has appeared on the moors near the Black Swamp. Request immediate aid." The Church selected Invar, their master inquisitor, to go to the Black Swamp and assess what danger, if any, this new manifestation might presage. On the way there, Invar meets with other unlikely visitors to the new castle, and together, the band of unlikely adventurers must find out the secret of the Castle That Wasn't There and, if necessary, thwart whatever sinister purpose it may have.

Invar Richmont -- A devout inquisitor of the Church of the Sacred Flame, Invar was chosen to investigate the new dwelling in the Black Swamp.

She is melancholy and withdrawn, and she and Invar often pass time simply nodding to each other, happy in each other's silence. -- Role: Physical Damage Dealer.

They rarely leave their home grove or forest, and even more rarely join with others. However, he knows that alone he may not be able to divine the mystery of the Black Swamp, and reluctantly joins Invar's band. Role: Tank; "Now a tree is not a mystery.

"First, and Recursive, Contact"

Three hundred years in the future, mankind makes first contact. The spaceship that makes contact, "The Discovery," is a commercial ship with a previous cargo: A time machine. Upon learning that the aliens are hostile to all life, and that The Discovery will lead them right back to Earth, Captain Juliette Garibaldi comes up with a daring plan to delay, and perhaps forever prevent, first contact. Her plan, however, is fraught with danger, and the prototype time machine, called the Recursion, may prove to be more dangerous than all of the aliens in the universe.

Gurgar -- An uneasy alliance forms with Gurgar, the last of one of the races the aliens previously conquered. Gurgar turns on his slavers when he sees that "these humans, they fight!"

"The Dame, the Debt and the Devil"

Old Man Vince hired me for a simple job, and sucker that I am, I thought it would actually be simple. Huh, no one pays a guy like me to do something simple. Keep an eye on Mrs. Bonnie Old Man Vince, he said. If she's screwing around, let him know, and I'd bank an easy couple G. I followed her alright, and then, things got weird. I don't know if Old Man Vince planned for things to go like this, or if I just walked in when I should've walked out. All I know is that I've got my work cut out for me, and I'm all out of aces and faces.

My name's David. I used to be a cop, but only the dirty cops get the promotions in this city, and I may not be clean, but I ain't dirty neither. [Role: Tank]

Liu [Role: Physical Damage Dealer] is my best friend. He owes me a life debt, at least, that's what he calls it. And, I ain't too proud to call in free help when I need it. Liu's always stood by me, and I ain't ashamed to say I love that son of a bitch like a brother.

Now, things ain't serious with Lacey [Role: Magical Damage Dealer], but I ain't kicking her out of bed, either each night. I didn't think she'd get mixed up in this thing with Old Man Vince, but when she did, well, I haven't let a broad down yet, and she's always a good kid to have in your corner.

Bonnie [Role: Healer/Support] is where this all started, and I think where it's all going to end. She's some dame, alright. You can get why Old Man Vince tied the knot with her, and I don't mind being paid to look. But, I'm not even sure what it is I'm seeing.
