It's creepy and beautiful, all at the same time.

Ahh, the joys of being a student. Even the beggars pity you.

Yellowstone is also a great location. You really can't do better than the fact that the most of the park is ready to explode. Plus, it has the Grand Prismatic Spring.

Google pubs for real-world names. Game stores can have great names, too. My FLGS is called Rockheads.

Skill challenges have been in my games for a while. I started using them after I finished playing the first Tomb Raider for the 360. It just blew my mind the different ways the character got around traps and hazards, beyond just flipping a switch or removing a spring. I hadn't included them...

Ahh, but do you wad, or do you fold?

A good half of the people I play with played WoW before PnP RPGs, myself included. As someone who has moved from D&D (I started with 3.x, and love 4E) into other systems like GURPs and HERO 9My favorite,) I feel farily qualified to say that we aren't the simplistic, idiot kids looking for...

A campaign set around the battle of Vincennes and it's lead-up would be great.

HERO or GURPs would be my choice. Probably GURPS, since it's much more lethal.

In the Squire Boon Caverns in Southern Indiana, I believe, there's a room with a ceiling that is naturally adhesive. I can't remember if it's the Boon Caverns or Morengo caves though.
