>Does any one else think that published HOE adventures suffer from Monty
Haul syndrome.  I just read Bio Dome 2 in the Epitath #2, and the salvage
material available is quite impressive. Except that I thought the posse was
supposed to be kept poor.  Now while I freely admit my group has a lot of
small arms, but no heavy weapons.

I did get that feeling, actually... especially in the beginning of the
adventure. I thought it was particularly blatant when the adventure goes on
about how things have been picked over for years and there's no decent
salvage EXCEPT for, well, this heavy machine gun in working order that no
one has managed to find for 20 years. It seemed like the salvage was just
sort of inserted with not much thought to why it would be there or why no
one was able to find it before.

In the later part of the adventure, the actual Bio-dome didn't seem to have
anything of value in it, except for some kind of super-grain that was never
adequately explained. The author said something about the original
adventure being chopped up quite a bit. Maybe asking PEG to put the whole
thing up somewhere else might be nice.
