well, it was pointed out in the origional Deadlands books that there is a thin
line between a subtile use of monsters and fear and making the game a fantasy
adventure.  With Deadlands, people were expected to feel safe because the
government tells them to, and I could easily see any town be more on edge and
willing to start busting monster ass in HoE than Deadlands.
