So I'm in the process of planning out the general course of my next game (starting up next semester, natch.) Given that there's currently another SR game ongoing in my circle of players (in addition to the one I'm wrapping up) I'm looking into alternate campaign themes; I had previously played in a fairly successful game several years ago where we were actually Lonestar NARC (in a precinct so corrupt the adage about the cops just being the best armed gang in town was true to the point of being almost comical.) and while I think it might be fun to do something along those lines, I'm looking to drum up some alternate ideas so I can propose a few to the players and see what has the most interest.

So, anyone else played in or run a game where you *weren't* the typical mercenary criminal working for the highest bidder? how was it?
