Check out one of my most recent arcs:

or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
Here's a selection from the "Mission Architect Contact Tree" that I thought might be suitable for a good-natured, not too cerebral guy who wants to help people. I mostly sorted by theme, and cut anything that sounded too science-y or heavy on investigation. Some of these are much lower than level 38, but "ordinary guy just trying to help out" is a very street-level concept, so many of the best matches are low level; but I kept the level range listings so you can decide whether you want to filter by that too.
I hope that helps!

I wouldn't rule out all Sciencey arcs, MCM. I think he'd be great friends with Waddle in PENGUIN Part 3: Waddle to the Big Top (402239).

I think it would scare the daylights out of him, but I also don't think that someone like Casey could turn down the request of a frightened child... #12285, "Small Fears" (by yours truly, @Wall of Knight) would be a good fit. Might be a bit tough, since it's balanced for later-game characters, but maybe not- I'm not as familiar with tankie-types.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head." Seven Habits of Highly Effective Pirates
MA Arcs: #12285, "Small Fears", #106553, "Trollbane", #12669, "How to Survive a Robot Uprising"
I'm looking for recommendations for story arcs that might be thematic fits to my lvl 38 Shield/War Mace (manhole cover/sledgehammer) Tanker, Casey Crockett. He's a big stoopid heart-of-gold type that'll help anyone out but ain't got much in the way of academia, so any kind of deductive or sciencey arcs are out.
