I resemble that remark.... I'm *not* evil, I was very considerate to my
players, they had to go back five times, gradually completing the
targets that had been set for them before they met any bugs, and those
were only little ones :-) though there were an awful lot of them. From
what I can gather literally hundreds of characters have died and
suffered horribly in Chicago. Mine didn't, for once, well, not until
the end anyway. :-)

The biggest threat to the players up unitl the end were the gangs
controlled by the Warlords, the players had to cross four controlled
territories before they finished - but then I'm a great fan of Escape
from New York, so I guess I used it to my advantage. Then these
*slightly* larger than normal :-) things with segmented bodies and
multiple legs and armoured carapaces turned up, tweren't nuthin' t'do
wit me, I'm innocent. The players deliberately went into that building
with the wasp nest on top and the beetles below.

We do here. :-)

Heroes or Fools? That's a determination others will make in hindsight. But by
being here now, we make that determination for ourselves, and it's neither.
