If you'll indulge me a moment, I'd like to drift back to the original
thrust (so to speak) of this thread:

I have been meaning to respond to this, but have been just too swamped
with other things lately (work, life, etc).
Michael Brown has a very nice web page out there with scenario cards
already
made up. I have taken them and added about a half dozen more of my own
own.
In my card deck I doubled up on all of his scenario cards, with my own
additions also doubled. I have used these on a number of occassions and
they
work fine for putting together scenarios on the fly. Hell, I even
sometimes
use them for ideas when I'm just *designing* scenarios! :)
The URL for Michael's scenario generation cards is:

They were originally designed with FT2 in mind, not FT2.5, but it should
really not be much of a problem to adapt them. Least I haven't had any
problems with that.
