Re: [HoE] "meta-plot" adventures

[Michael <martin_etc@yahoo.com>]

I have a few mods in the Wasted West when I host; of
course, my posse doesn't play (nor will they; 3 of the
5 outspokenly don't like westerns, period) Weird West.
And, of course, Kang controls the USA Pacific Coast,
except Lost Angels. There are a few others that could
cause plot problems if the posse thaught long enough
before I do, but they won't.
