Mine don't, as I think has been noted in previous discussions here...  :)

Sounds good.  One note, though - has anyone noted how handy the Syker's 
Chain Brain talent is for locking up automatons...?

>A Infiltrator Cyborg, A Heavy Cyborg, Tons of Black Hats

Heavy Cyborgs are indeed pretty formidable.  My one question would be, what 
is it's Armor value, and what do your party members (if any) who rely on HTH 
do against it...?

Sounds just like our group.  ;) Except the Doomsayer is the Super Soldier in 
ours.  We've had several "discussions" as to which one might be able to win 
in a fight between the two.  Looks like the adventure might provide a final 
answer *heh*.

I'll look forward to seeing it.  Agian, I liked Mr. Goff's writing in 
general of Killer Clowns (and said as much in my Azrael review) - it was 
just the mechanics and "toughness" of the adventure that bothered me.  IMO, 
a Marshal shouldn't have to work to make an adventure "tough" - at least the 
basics should be there.

Again, maybe it's just my group - they've been very careful to keep their 
Guts relatively high, buy Brave, whatever.  And without the Fear Level 
enhancements, the Clowns just don't seem to be that tough...
