well and good, but you don't want to make the game too gross for your
90's players....
I made the same mistake with a game of "Whispering Vault" at a small
local con. My character was supposed to be a jaded undead (as are all
players) but my lack of concern for human condition (something i was
beyond) led the other players to believe I was a callous, self-centered,
sadist.

BTW- I recommend the game to any HOE or Deadlands Marshall, it has a
great grasp on keeping the fear in a horror game.
