Re: [HOE] What to do with 5 grit

[David R Goecke <mightygecko@juno.com>]

I REALLY like this. may I use it? I just hope my posse hasn't seen it.
One of my posse members is so insistant of making the Anime Cowboy Bebop
a part of HoE that he may be led astray with this. at first glance it
sounds like a plot from that show, but it's totally not! It's so cool. I
think oncce they've had a couple encounters with this fellow, he may
start telling stories about the posse, but not as heroes. either as
villains or bumblers who may situations worse. end result, the Posse may
begin to carry a fear level with them.....
