Real World Adventure Ideas

I often read the news, some would almost say I am obsessed with keeping up on news topics. I often come across unusual news articles about situations that would make excellent topics for either a story or for a role playing game.

Here are two past examples:

1) Russian Meteorite Stolen
Obviously the Meteorite is either an egg for an super intelligent flesh eating alien or can be made into a weapon that can cut through steel coated refrigerators.
2) Japanese Lake Goes Missing
Either a super thief who knows no bounds or a mad genius whose new weapon can make vast lakes of water disappear.


Today I have come across a third situation, one that is unique to America. Some would say this doesn't quite hold the avent garde as the previous two, but it is one that could only happen in America.

Elvis's Gun was Stolen
He is back from the dead, and boy is he pissed.
