I suppose my dislike of the scene comes from the style of game I run.  I do
splice more than a bit of humor into my campaign for contrast, but I keep
it within the context of the West; nothing absurd that jars the atmosphere
I've created.  *Shrug* Same reason my HoE campaigns will never, ever
feature Giant Owls or Killer Tomatoes.  The humor I use is a bit more like
Nobody's... "Good morning, Stupid White Man".
