I don't know if you're aware, but there's a book that was released at Gen-con and should be in stores in the next couple of weeks called Slipstream that should be Just The Thing for your campaign. Plenty of ideas to pilfer and/or an existing setting you can use, plus a number of adventures - if it follows the usual style, most of them will be linked to various locations so your players can sandbox around, but a number are interlinked allowing your players to jump in and out of a major "plot arc" and effect great change in the world. Useful stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-65100289364282713242008-08-29T01:30:00.000-05:002008-08-29T01:30:00.000-05:00Your campaign idea sounds like it would be a heck ...Your campaign idea sounds like it would be a heck of a lot of fun.

I always liked the underlying idea of "Ark II" (and seem to remember enjoying watching it as a kid), and the mixture of that with "A-Team"-type protagonists and Death Race chipped mercs in the <I>Shadowrun</I> world...hmmm.
