[UA] The Globetrotters Must Die (was: Unusual Group Dynamics)

[STUART ANDERSON]

It seems to me we discussed these in the archives, along with some extremely cool scenario ideas for the 60s, the 50s, and so forth. Someone had a Victorian scenario, a colonial America scenario, something with Roanoke, and so on. My story arc seemed kinda corny after some of those others. I don't remember exactly what the thread was called, but it was long and involved. Anyway, I worked backward from Eval's big Snake River Canyon jump, and folded in a number of 70s celebrities, with a series of twists compelling the players to alternately try to stop or support the big jump.

Oh wow, that sounds terrific. But you can't toss out a list of scenario titles that freaking good and not come across with some more details. Can you give us (that is to say, me) a brief overview of this Fogelburg, Globetrotters, Kneivel story arc?
