There should be a bunch of harrowed/walkin' dead baseball players in a
baseball field right in the middle of a corn field. Maybe they capture
people and force them to be umpires and fans. The umps just better not
make a bad call.

How about "The One That Got Away". A lone Black Hat that the posse left
for dead somewhere who survived and is just waiting to get his revenge.
He might even be harrowed now. If you don't think a lone Black Hat could
scare the party, he could be just following them and reporting back via
radio to Denver on the posse's current possition, strengths and
weaknesses.

"Kobolds Ate My Baby" is a great beer and pretsels type of game that I
strongly recomend to anyone with a sense of humor.
