It goes without saying, of course, that Ash's being there means that the deadites will be also (I'm currently trying to get the Ash vs. Marvel Zombies crossover).Ash getting a T-800 arm is brilliant; I'd consider making it the arm from the T-X, since that has a diamond-tipped buzzsaw on it, which'd perfectly account for how he often attaches a chainsaw there.In this campaign idea, I wouldn't give the humans too much more advanced tech (they've already got plasma rifles and such), since the PCs in such a campaign shouldn't be overshadowed by the likes of Ash and John Conner. The idea is that the humans are, at this point, surviving because each of their enemies considers them less of a threat than one of the others.Skynet is most worried about the Aliens. Much worse than humans, these biological entities show no fear, and have startling natural defenses. Their organized hivemind lets them put up a much greater resistance than the humans ever did, and with the circumstantial evidence that the Queens are intelligent, they represent a much greater threat to Skynet's existence than humanity ever did.The Aliens are most worried by the Predators (or at least, the Queens are, as much as they worry about anything). The Predators have hunted them for eons, and know all of their tricks, strengths, and weaknesses. They're the ones who have the best knowledge of their tactics, and can best counter them.The Predators are most worried about the deadites. These things don't seem to play by the rules, making dead bodies suddenly sit up and move around again, and worse, sometimes possess living creatures; even other Predators (though not often). The deadites are like no foe the Predators have ever faced, and they don't know how to deal with them.The deadites are most worried about the terminators. They cannot possess machines, and computers feel no fear. For the first time, the undead are meeting the unliving, and they're not prepared to face an enemy that just classifies them as an unknown anomoly and moves to deal with them. Skynet is like no foe they've ever faced.And the humans are more hunkered down than ever, trying to survive a four-way war as they struggle to take back a world that should belong to them.</blockquote>
