    Sounds really good. I like the way your working it out and making the posse
work for what they get. I may finally run SAAS with these ideas.  I bought it
but then refused to run it due to the really awful writing. :P Usually you can
work around somethings, and heck i always modify Store bought stuff, (You sort
of have o of course), but SAAS was beyond what I wanted to do. Like a certain
completely inept Supposed Ship Suppliment for a game based on Ships that I wont
mention. (Smiles at Mike)  But I say go with what you have here.  Good Job.
    Oh, one thing though. The Adventure actually says in there that even if you
_DO_ open the box without the key the Super Spiffy Ginsu Sword cant really be
hurt by the incidiary charges.  What a crock.  The sword itself is insulting
along with the rewards section. But this is all common knowledge.
    I still dont like the silly Junker puzzle stuff, as it feels like a bad
Computer Game, but that can be worked around.

Make it storming when they hit the Water tower. Always good for lightning and
such. Sure its cheesy but heck, its fun.  :) Ha.
