Scenario designers- how much research do you do?

I know this might sound like heresy, but I like to see unusual weapons, platforms and situations, even if they are hypothetical.

Well, I doubt that its heresy.

IMHO its the best way to push the game to its limits as well as the designer's creativity. I always wanted to be a writer so that is probably why I prefer to design campaigns rather than scenario's. Campaigns are a way to tell a story, be it historically based or pure fiction. The main objective is to get the player to feel they are part of story and have fun in the process.
