So I've got this d20 Modern campaign idea which involves a civil war in America. Basically what happens is that a flying saucer crashes, and the black ops go in for it. However, the party manages to alert the state police, who try to find out under whose authority all these gun-toting guys are running around. Well, due to a bureaucratic mixup involving people who aren't even supposed to exist, the name of the General the black ops guys give the state police turns out to be bogus. A conflict ensues, and the state police end up getting fired on. The conflict reaches the Governor, who calls the local army base. The army goes don't know who the hell these black ops people are, and basically the regular army clashes with the secret army. Eventually an American Civil War ensues.
I've been trying to decide what state it should be that begins the civil war, and then the answer came ... California. As the two sides clash, the Governor joins the party to watch it. One of the Governor's aides comes and tells him it is too dangerous and that he has to leave the premises, and thus Governer Schwarzenegger gets to utter:
I'll Be Back.
It gets even better. Later, the Governor can be abducted by aliens. The party breaks into the flying saucer, destroys the machine that induces the waves that keep abductees paralyzed, and just as the little grey alien is about to stick some probe up Arnold's butt, he grabs the alien by the throat and says, "My body, my choice."
I can't wait to run this campaign! Maybe I'll have it revealed that Arnold really is a terminator robot, and the special effects were to make him look human, not the other way around.
