	Chalk it up to confusion on just how "21st-century" HoE really is.  I'm
still stuck on the notion that HoE is "Western Steampunk Horror" meets "Mad
Max".  I'm slowly discovering as I read the rulebook that it's probably not
Steampunk anymore, in which case it's just "Horror" meets "Mad Max" with a
slightly western motif.

	While it's still a cool game and while I'll still play it and enjoy it,
I'm hard-pressed to see how it could be "Western" without the "Steampunk".
If it's 21st-Century technology that is distinguishable from current
technology only by virtue of the fact that some of it uses Ghost Rock, it's
"Mad Max Horror," not "Future Western Horror."
