[UA] The Zone

[Saul Peers]

You're either inspired or crazy, man, 'cause one thing UA doesn't make me 
think of is powered armor and dimensional rifts.

On the other hand, if there ever was a game begging to be sent into a 
post-Apocalyptic tail-spin, UA is it.  I've been giving some thought to an 
"Old Gods Return" scenario.  I.E., we put the invisible clergy on a back 
burner for a while and summon up all kinds of old-school nasties; either 
Cthulhoid or just demonic, based on your personal tastes.  The world is 
thrown back into a societal dark-ages, and technology is regressed to 
late-industrial (i.e., your handgun works fine, but say bye-bye to global 
communication.).

Anyway, just a thought.

Saul
