[HoE] success / my posse

[Michael <martin_etc@yahoo.com>]

Alright, I hosted Hell on Earth yesterday. It was the
first Roleplaying Game other'n Final Fantasy for all
of 'em. I ran "the shape o' things to come". Other'n
the posse slaughtering Eyebiter's gang early on, it
went smoothly and everyone enjoyed themselves.

The posse, including description and hindrances:

Andrew Randall - the name's probably gonna change.
He's the mechanic. I hope to learn how Junkers work
and then work on dropping the "become a Junker" hints
and hopefully, he'll become one. Randy, Scrawny, and
Stubborn. Uses a pistol and 2 wrenches.

"Bubba" - shotgun-wielding bloodthirsty, brawny,
vengeful, grim servant o' death. Drawn up less than a
day before the game. Played by younger brother of
Andrew's player.

"Jimbo" - Loudmouth heroic dude. Player loves rolling
the dice (hadn't seen non-d6s before yesterday's
game). 

"Hung Lo" - Martial Artist - sorta. High fighter, has
shurikens and 5d12 in Fightin': Jaded Monkey. [if it
doesn't exist, it *should*!] I only have the main book
and don't know how martial artists work in HoE, so I
may rearrange the stats a bit when I figure it out (or
someone tells me). And yes, I did get the name from
KFM. Stubborn, Ferner, and has an Obligation to
Warlord Kang IX (name'll change when I figure out
whose in charge of Shan Fran and plan to do something
with it.)

"Pierre Sangfroid (Pronounced: San-Frwa) - ex-CSA
military explosives expert. Player didn't show up, so
he didn't do anything he wasn't told to do yesterday.

Ok, that's it for now. I hope to add a 6th posse
member eventually, but that should be it. Since I'm
trying to get this group as an entry-level RPG group,
I'm probably not accepting veteran roleplayers. I
wrote the characters myself, though. 

Oh, after leaving Yuma, they're heading for SE
California, probably to Needles, CA - where they'll
run out of gas (in the tank - 8 gallons of spook juice
unused in the trunk). I'll eventually post what
they've done in Yuma at the YFP and intown.

Question:
What book(s) should I get? I seem to remember a
worldbook (w/ "Jo's Journal" in it), but can't
remember the name. Should I get Road Warriors for this
posse? I'll be getting The JunkMan Cometh when I'm
ready to let Andrew become a Junker and have the other books).
