Use Logic

Their was a special on the History channel or some where like that or was it on the BBC network well any way it was very interesting Not true but interesting for the info.

Anyway my PC's discovered that a Mega-Corp was developing a new weapons grade virus so they heroically stopped them through sabotage and what not. What they didn't do is dispose of the virus safely, blowing up a lab building isn't necessarily safe diposal of hazardous material. The test rats escaped into the sewers and were eaten by the savage trolls infecting the trolls with a genetically modified rabies. The next time my PC's entered the sewers they had been completely over run and the trolls they had dealt with easily before were now a much bigger threat. One of my favourite things to do is to take weak monsters and evolve them into higher threats.

One of the players in my game is a Clockwork Engineer Artificer who uses alchemical hypodermics to heal the players and an expanding metal staff to cast rituals. Very steampunk, and very pseudo-fantasy science. This is why I love my Eberron game so much — it mixes fantasy with tech in a very steampunk sort of way.
