[HOE] Unity Question

[matt ryan <mrr15@cornell.edu>]

Good morning,

I bought the Unity and read parts of it. I have read nearly all of the 
spoiler threads. I've got a question for the pack who have been 
reviewing/debating/bickering.

Question:

Oh, I don't know if this warrants spoiler space, but here:

Okay.

Question: Has anyone actually played the Unity yet? I know groups of play 
testers got their hands on it before publication, but have any of the 
people praising it played it? How about the nay-sayers?

In our Deadlands group, I find that the only person who cares about the 
overall saga aspect of the game is the marshal. He thinks all the connected 
bits and ongoing plot threads are great. The players (I am a player who 
marshalls occasionally) seem to care less. They are happy as long as they 
have a critter nestled between their gun sights. Are HOE players the same way?

I've been slowly collecting the HOE books. I've nearly got all of them; I 
certainly have enough to start a campaign. I plan to take our gaming group 
through some of the pre-made adventures. I will start with the adventure 
from the Radiation Screen (although it seems to start rather violently). 
I'll progress through some others. It's going to be a long time before I 
have to decide if I want to include the Unity adventure.
