while I would hesitate to call most of the adventures in the books sub-par 
(for weird west, The Mission is still a favorite) , I do agree with Loki's 
overall point.  I liked the nice long books.  esp with the Dispatches 
(which I like too) there is just not room for adventures in 
sourcebooks.  It gives us more material to use that way.  I say keep the 
main sourcebooks adventure-free

and don't worry Loki, I have nice warm glowing zombies waiting for you.
