Re: [HOE] Infestation... ?

Hi,
I thought "Infestations" was one of the better PEG adventures, I ran it a 
long time ago, when it first came out.  I had it take place in the Northwest, 
Oregon I think.  The story-line made sense and had internal logic, (a 
pleasant surprise, compared to some PEG adventures,) except.....

....I changed the major villians story a bit.  I can't remember if she was a 
Servitor or not. There's some backstory about her going out for a walk, 
getting killed, being replaced by a doppleganger like monster/coming back 
harrowed, it was unclear.  I had her infect herself, and her kid, thereby 
becoming a knowing servant of Pestilence.  I thought it made her much more 
horrorific to do those hideous things as a person and not as a 
harrowed/doppleganger/whatever.  The rest of the story is GREAT and there's 
some a great parts in it - lots of disgusting stuff - y'can't go wrong with 
maggot filled boils!  I don't think it is a particularly hard adventure for 
the posse unless they're idjits, (or maybe all the players live in warm 
climes and don't know cold slows down insects.)  None of my posse members 
died - but they're pretty quick on the uptake.  (There was a great bit when a 
couple posse members put the wasps inside thier clothes to warm them up 
faster!)  All in all, a very fun adventure, maybe not as DAMN FUN as Killer 
Klowns, but a little more internal logic, easier to follow, and had none of 
that annoying "You'll have to buy the next adventure to know the rest of the 
story" crap.  
    All in all, it's got a good beat, you can dance to it...I'd give it an 85!
