I love throwing minions, underlings and faceless cannon fodder at my PC's. It's kind of like throwing hamsters to my dog (NOT that i do throw hamsters to my dog. My wife would never let me...). On the main subject of this thread, namely 'Real world' events incorporated into the game, i am firmly in favour of a sprinkle of realism, but not a lot. My game is firmly based in a darkly comic 'reality' and my PC's love the escapist craziness of fighting yetis in sewers, stealing bonsai trees from the darkness pagoda and gunfights with bazooka-wielding clowns in a museum dinosaur exhibit. They don't really want to worry about infections from the sewer water in their gunshot-wounds, the ecological soundness of tree theft and the law-suit from the museum for smashed brontosaraus femurs.
