Re: [HOE] Denver Thoughts...

Yes, probably the best numbers that we'll EVER get.  Why?  Because such
information, while it might be useful to you in a certain circumstance,
wouldn't matter a bit to the majority of people playing the game. 
Marshals write adventures based on what they think is going to be
challenging, interesting and fair to their players, not how well they
match up with a bunch of arbitrary statistics in a book.  The half-page
it would take to put such number in the Denver sourcebook could be used
to print information that is much more relevant to the people playing the
RPG.  If I'm writing an adventure and I want the players to face down two
Raptors and fifteen automatons, they will, and I won't pause a moment to
consider what percentage of the Combine's monthly output that is.
