Or even shorter, because the adventure is rather straight - lots o` action, less clues
to find or intrigues, but still one o` the best adventure I ever played when speaking
atmosphere.
As at tip, I played the soundtrack of John Carpenter`s "Vampires", which proved to fit
very well(for my posse).
Make sure, that the posse prepares the major attack when the night train drives out of
town - the adventure is deadly(actually I lost a posse member on the first attack of the
vampires in the town - but that was bad luck) - a few stick of dynamite, a thinking npc
who rides with them or so should help....

In my campaign the head is still alive - but the player of the character who possese it,
doesn`t play any longer with us, onthe other hand the head of the player who died at
that adventure(I told above) will cause my posse a heart attack next saturday, I
hope(WHAHAHAHA!)

Hmmm.....aeh...tja...
