Good point. And good luck finding replacement components :)

The really hard part was figuring out what happens to the arcane
backgrounds if they go from one time to the other. I thought it was pretty
cool: I decided that hucksters (there was a hexslinger in the group) had
to get a hand heigher than normal to get their hexes off before reading
Junkman Cometh. My rational was backwards though, I said that most of the
manitous had crossed over into the real world so it was harder to find one
to steal power from.
