It is no real problem, FASA included enough notes on Harlequin in HB.
There are a few things in HB effectively 'especially for those that
played Harlequin', but you don't even need to know whats in it. I
have actually read both but the group that is about to finish HB have
not done Harlequin (though some of the players have done it with
different characters and another GM)

They got away with it though a note on the back to say Harlequin was
not required to play would be sensible. A quick 'for the gM' list of
the tie ins and plot summary of Harlequin would also have helped. I
managed easily enough though having read the origonal means a few
extra th9ings make sense. (if you have not read Harlequin just ignore
the refs they don't affect HB).

Probably, i don't have time to write up the stuff you suggest for it
on a regular enough basis though. I could make a more explicit,
(included some examples) post though if i was sure no HB players
would read this.
