This immediately made me think of a book I read recently detailing how New England was the only part of the U.S. to homegrow its own vampire legends. (The book is Food for the Dead: On the Trail of New England's Vampires, and it's really interesting. I'm interested in vampire folklore, though I don't like most of the vampire fiction I've read.)

The author comes up with a number of reasons why this is the case, but all in all it's a perfect setting for magical doctors, and you could probably work the terrorists and the gold in somewhere. (Not sure about the Renaissance, though, unless it's an alternate history.)

A most excellent tool. Should make for good inspiration for YORL....

"The PCs are futuristic rebels in an apartment complex who, with forbidden knowledge, fight robots for a mysterious unseen boss in the distant future."

I knew you'd like it. Someone elsewhere decided to combine this with They Fight Crime! for maximum delivery.

"The PCs are Japanese rebels in a large corporation who, with the power of music, fight zombies for God and country in the present day."

Wait, I think I've read that manga...
