I don't know why this never occured to me before, but I just figured
out a quick and dirty way for designing adventures. Take any three
movies and/or books and merge them. Right now I'm creating an
adventure based on The Rock, Thunderball and Hunt for Red October.

I thank you from the bottom of my hart. Those five minutes i spend in the
toilet thinking up a scenario before we start to play will now be much
easier :)

Why not, Hollywood has been doing it for years. The Best (or is
worst)I have run accross was a Battlestar Galactica episode that
combinded Ice Station Zebra, Guns of Navarone, and the Dirty Dozen.
