Yes, I agree totally but I wish FASA had been more subtle and more street
level rather than all this Fantastical stuff.

Which I liked but again it would have been better if the PCs had learnt a
little of the power of the Horrors and then discovered for themselves
that the Great Ghost Dance is the cause for these Horror's premature
appearence. I want to see my players faces suddenly be filled with a look
of horror as the realisation dawns on them, and those obligatory words
come tumbling out of there mouths in a slow drawn out mutter:
"Oh...my.....God.....!"
I don't know, maybe I could have GMed it better but I added enough anyway
either side of the run, and I was so reluctant to run the thing anyway
that I maybe lost the enthusiasm to have told the story better. But I
shouldn't have to make major changes in terms of story just to make it
exciting. Sorry for moaning but I was really looking forward to HB and
was terribly disappointed.
