So, now that there is so much discussion on the Macho Women with Guns world, I was curious if anybody else had developed areas not mentioned in the sourcebook, added further development to areas mentioned in the sourcebook, or changed areas mentioned in the sourcebook.
(For example, I decided to give Texas, Japan and India a little more respect. With the Second Civil War raging for decade after decade, Texas is obviously the heart of the Second Confederacy, especially since I decided all of Georgia has been retaken by Federal forces except for a little county in the southwest corner called Hazzard. Japan, of course, needs to be the world-wide center for production of giant robots. I haven't decided what to do with India yet, but I'm sure I can think of something.)
As mentioned in my Escape from Madison, Wisconsin thread, I've decided to start my MMWG adventures around Madison, Wisconsin.
Global warming of course has changed climate patterns all over the world, but Wisconsin's climate was made even wierder than usual. (The fact that an ice-god decided to move into a hotel in Two Rivers, Wisconsin might play a factor...) Every day the high and low temperatures are determined by rolling 1d12, multiplying by 10, adding 1d10, and subtracting 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
There is a lot of spiritual activity in late 21st century Wisconsin. Minions of Bthulhu and agents of Satan are sending their tendrils into the state seeking if there is some advantage to be had there. (Little do they know.) But the ancient American gods and spirits walk here. Galena (actually in Illinois) has the Cave of the Seven Spirits. (Anyone who's driven through Galena, however, will realize what sort of spirits I am talking about. I believe Londoners, Irishmen, and many others are well aquainted with spirits of this type...)
The Renegade Nuns and Lutheran Biker Chicks are very active in this state. There are Amish communities which persist in trying to lead an 18th century lifestyle (Some people just don't know when to quit.) There are Beemish communities which have decided to enter the 19th century, and Seamish who think the 20th century was a good idea after all.
Politically, Wisconsin is in a state of civil war over whether or not to participate in the Second Civil War. Madison has been walled off by the Wausau Pact, so named because the city of Wausau is where a group of Republicans signed an agreement with "Auntie" Josephine Stalinski. To counter the Wausau Pact, a group of Democrats in Milwaukee made agreements with Detroit and Alice Capone, and formed the MATO Alliance (Milwaukee Area Technical Operatives).
(In the 21st Century, the United States federal government became much more loosely organized, as the President lost control of Texas and the Second Confederacy, and other regions of the United States fell increasingly under the control of local leaders like White Feather and Auntie Josephine. I am, of course, talking about the legitimately elected President sitting in the Oval Office in Washington, DC, who is basically the winner of the Miss Over-40 Beauty Pageant. The vampire living in South Dakota only THINKS he is still President of the United States.)
So far, my plan is for the PCs to work for T.O.M.A.T.O. (Tactical Organization of the Milwaukee Area Technical Operatives). The President's airplane has crashed in Madison, Wisconsin, and the PCs have to follow a tough heroine named Sake Kissken to rescue her. On the way they have to fight menaces such as steam powered cows, cheese golems, and renegade Indian spirits.
