One of the bits that I've been intending to add to the Illuminati
history
regards the Sa'Vasku, and how their earlier visits to earth were the
basis
of a lot of really strange stories and forgotten myths.

Shoggoths, for example, would make exceptionally nasty Sa'Vasku ground
troops.

Oh, I like the idea of starship sized godlings being set upon by
determined
(albeit doomed) human.	I particularly like the modelling
possibilities....

That being said, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth: 2250 AD" might be a fun
scenario to run.  Your basic Deep One will be cut to pieces by modern
weapons, but enough of them would make a valid threat...especially with
support provided by those relatives who are still human enough to use a
gun.

So many possibilites!
