Okay, let me explain this again (grin). There is a novel called
"Bladerunner." It has NOTHING to do with the movie. It was written
in the fifties. It is about a "Big Brother" style society and a man
who runs medical supplies for a living (thus "Bladerunner") The
general plot is that a deadly disease begins to infect the world
starting where they are, and only the Bladerunner has the method to
heal it... (I think he is immune for some reason)
Anyway, I really wanted to know if anyone thought it would make a
good pregen'd "module" type adventure.

Thanks again,
Theoretical Anomaly

I believe you are going to have a hard time, if you are looking for that
title. it is a short story. I also can not remember the author.
Though it would make a great module.
