[HOE] Trucks, The Stand, and Swan Song...

[OUR0B0ROS@aol.com]

<< I ran an adventure -loosely- based around the idea of Christine and the
 short story Trucks.  >>

    I was just thinking about doing something like this yesterday, oddly 
enough...

(The one the movie Maximum Overdrive was based on). It was
 a possessed armored transport though.   It was a blast.  Blasted posse 
members
 over there.. and there.. and little pieces right there. :) >>

  I like that.  Much better than a semi...

   <<  Kings mood is a good one to shoot for in a lot of HoE games. The normal
 everyday stuff that goes wrong. And he did write the Stand after all.   Not
 much more appropriate HoE than that. >>

  I've been trying to find my copy for awhile now, ever since I started GMing 
HoE.  One of my favorite novels.

  <<   Although an Alternative to the Stand is a book by Robert McCammond 
called
 Swan Song.  This one ends the world with the big boom but has a very HoE 
feel.
 Its has a great "Fight the escaped Asylum Loons at the K-Mart" scene and 
more.
 Long one though, like the Stand but closer to the grim HoE feel. >>

  And I have been trying to find this one for SO long... I can find almost 
everything else by McCammon, and I remember the cover and that it was about 
nuclear war.  I'm glad to find out that my memory of the title was good.  Now 
I've gotta just find it.
