More campaign ideas would be good. I recognize that adventures are not the 
best selling products, but what about a sourcebook that has campaign ideas 
and plot hooks? Thus far we've seen lots of material on monsters, character 
development, and the like - basically the tools to run a campaign - but 
other than a book of adventures there really hasn't been much in the way of 
suggesting where and how to start a campaign and how to run with it. Some 
of the people I've talked to in game stores and in my own groups say that 
they have the same problem with Weird Wars as they do with other 
military-oriented games: how do you keep the game interesting for the 
players and leave much of the plot development in their hands to steer when 
they are just cogs in the bigger machine that is the military? Sure, making 
them OSI operatives alleviates this somewhat, but what about the games 
where they are still just four guys in a company? Having a book with some 
suggestions on things like this would help out beginners and Warmasters who 
have reached a deadlock in their campaign's progress.
