My main Twilight campaign has zombies in it already, so it wouldn't be much of a change for them there.

The best thing about merc is that you watch TV news or online news service and get some idea, the recent pricay in the gulf of Aden, blackwater in Iraq, are some ideas that come to mind, for other ideas, if you can find a copy of the merc gazetter it has some ideas also the I found the material in Bangkok Source Book and Operation CD both TW 2000 books are good for using as adventure in other locations and them have soem good maps too.

Yep, i am a huge fan of Merc.

More guns, quicker action, fun toys, more of all the good stuff & less book keeping (& I'm an accountant!).

As everyone has said, newspaper is maybe a good bet for story lines. Storm a freighter off somalia or a protection job of a VIP in Iraq.

But hey, its Merc, do both over 3 or 4 sessions!

More action and less character development is a better use of time i think.

I spoke to two of my group yesterday and they seem to be up for the idea, I'll hear from the rest later today, but I reckon they'll go for it. Think the first one off will be a lower key operation, maybe something against a low level local drug operation, just to establish the group. I'll be concentrating on action rather than character development as it may only be a one off game, but I'll try and leave it open ended so that we can run a series of one offs using the same characters until I can get back to the normal campaign. My ideal plan would be to try and sort a one off every couple of months until we can get back to regular games. I'll let you all know what happens.

Awesome, I was looking for those zombie rules as well!

Maybe it was my imagination, but weren't there T2k rules for werewolves and vampires also?

Dark conspiracy (with their rules compatible with Twilight:2000 and Traveller:TNE) have a good collection monsters, extraplanar creatures and this kind of pleasant beings. I suppose that GDW people don’t have forgot about the “classics�.

I was using google earth around Eureca,California - and to my astonsihment there seems to be KMZ overlays regarding "BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS" - so a mission searching for a bigfoot researcher - party is for instance hired by family or girlfriend of said researcher. Offcourse you can add a special government black-op research unit ;capturing bigfoots (or just hairy rednecks) using them for some RnD in battle-stimulants or something else, the bigfoot researcher is typically captured by the black-op-operatives...

Such a mission would include lots of action in wet forests, maybe normal animals as bears and wolfes and as a intro (before they find theeir target) u can make the players stumble upon a Marihuana crop with some local yokels a-la "the hills have eyes" or "texas chainsaw massacre"

ahh.the possibilities....
