I ran a gamne for a group of six that started out with the PCs as Uni
students and degraded horribly from there. The scientest/researcher
type ran into some trouble from the UCAS FDA for doing unauthorised
human trials of her experimental drug. I also had a thaumatugy student
a compsci and a journalist

Highly recommended from me as you have tons of time to develop
characters and get the interPC mojo going before tackling more serious
runs.
