Well, we do this, sorta. The system rotates with the GM. I Marshal HoE and Deadlands
(and a little AD&D now and then), another fellow Vampire, and a couple of others
different AD&D settings. The secrets of Deadlands are mine to know, and I would prefer
that the others didn't know too much about them. Some GMs like to run published
scenarios, while others like to make their own. For those that run pre-published ones,
having players on the list will be a problem if spoilers aren't used. Adding spoilers
are not hard, so why not do it?
