<<        Okay, I need some suggestions from the List. I have a posse in
 western Wyoming and they are heading for Boise. (the group includes a
 Templar or two). Now I would rather them not go to Boise and instead
 start heading south. The reason for this is I would like to wait for the
 Boise set to come out.
 
 So should I:
 
 A)  Let them get to Boise. If so, how do I run this adventure without
 contradicting or ruining the Boise set to come out.
 
 B) Use weather and whatever to "force" them to go south. My problem is I
 am not sure how to do this without it looking like I am forcing them (I
 don't mind forcing them, I just don't want it to look like I am). One
 character is Heroic and I could keep throwing things at him....but this
 seems contrived.
 
 Any suggestions on either A or B? >>

I don't know if this is any help, since this question was posted a while ago, 
but I wouldn't worry about contradicting the "Boise set." It's going to be a 
long time before we do a book on Boise (it'll probably be incorporated into a 
book on the entire Northwest), mainly because there's not much there other 
than what was described in Last Crusaders, and Templars aren't supposed to be 
lounging around the HQ, they should be out kicking butt. The Boise Horror 
adventure coming out in February may have a few more details, but for reasons 
that will become apparent once you read it, most of the action actually takes 
place in Junkyard.
