That's definitely what it is---notice the word "survivors" in quotation
marks--- or it could be some other mental illness.  I just thought that his
perception of what was going on would be kinda fun for a campaign.....but
whenever the players seek help in dealing with the RCMP they are just
called lunatics.  I would have people react this way to them so often that
the players start wondering if they really are sane.

This is a cool idea too.

I was also thinking of maybe running a standard UA campaign but if the
players try certain drugs that are constantly offered to them their
perception changes.  They all of a sudden are in a straight-jacket in a
padded room the "scummy drug dealers" are nurses and orderlies.  I would
also have certain "clued-in" gmcs begging them to never try the drugs, the
Unaverse for them would be a haven from their miserable existence in the
asylum....
