I went to the Guns Magazine site and ponied up for the CDs of their back issues little by little over the past few months. The old back issues are interesting compared to what shooters are interested in in the newer issues. Saved me a lot of scanning, too.

Reminds me of some governor from California.

Prisons:

I have used those in my US campaigns. An example, my Out of the Ashes campaign, I had a major prison in the city of Albany Oregon, or was it Eugene? No matter, a larger city of the state that is on the Interstate 5, a highway that goes the length of the US from Mexico to Canada and the biggest transit route for the region. Anyhow, I had the city overrun by the criminals once things fell apart. Now the criminal element runs the entire town and surrounding countryside. And they charge several tolls for all whochoose to traverse that area, an entry tax, a city tax and an exit tax.

And of course it was going to be a thorn in the PCs side which they would have to raid and rescue someone/something or kill the pirate leader.

I also had Alcatraz turned into a haven as well. And the Terminal Island Prison. One of the problems with prisons however is, they are difficult to get out of, but to get into is another storey. Remember, all of the defenses, safeguards and locks are focused in the wrong direction.

And hey now people don't be making to much fun for my boss the "Governator"

A site covering pretty much all the naval ships in the world and a lot of the civilian ones as well. Hasn't been updated since 2003, but that's probably a very good thing for our purposes.

The Vatican Archives seems to me to be in concept like that warehouse they put the Ark of the Covenant in at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark -- except it's where documents go to get lost. (And I'll bet the US government has one of those, too.) It kind of makes you wonder how much stuff there is in the world that are actually in in official government facilities, but everyone has forgotten about. Hey, that's a good idea for an adventure -- the players go to look for a large cache of stuff that is only rumored, but there it's mentioned in these spotty records that there's some sort of superweapon or a diet supplement or something. Kind of like Warehouse 13.
