Gritty Iron Age fare?  A mix of all of them?  Then, don't be afraid of inspirations, even silly ones.  One of the more interesting, and frustrating, adventures we had was inspired by the title <a href="http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/art/Bikini-Beach-Party-39463208" target="_blank">Cheerleader Bikini Beach Party on Dead Dino Island</a>; silly name, excellent inspiration for a really fun and interesting adventure.I hope that helps some.</blockquote>
