Re: [WW] Monsters,Creatures and Weird Science

["Jimmy Craig" <jimmythebarrel@hotmail.com>]

Thats my theory on it as well. I am of the beleif that if the see wierd 
critters to much, they become jaded to it. I do not plan on having any wierd 
critters show up until at least 3-4 sessions into the game. And even then, I 
plan on suprising the PC's. No investigaton of the wierd, no build up. Just 
walking along(or low crawling) and *WHAM*, critter. I want it to be the type 
of thing where the PC's stop, look around at each other and say as one 
"RUN!!!" (like that will happen). But that is just me. ;)
And after that, I will still not introduce very many critters into my games, 
takes away from the War that is the real horror anyway.
