Mike Dawson here, not Kirsten.
Many thanks Clay, for the excellent writeup of your campaign in Black Rock.
As Nick commented, it was very different from his, and very different from my playtest too. Also very different from Oliver Jovanovic's game.
I am really heartened by the enjoyment people have gotten out of this scenario. Though I was proud of it from the start, the reaction I have gotten is making me think it is probably the best thing I have written. Pretty ironic, considering I originally thought up the idea as a way to introduce new players to the Sun County material without fear of limbs flying.
When I first mentioned the piece to Ken, it was as a possible article/scenario for some magazine or another, and was to have been around 5-7,000 words. Clearly, it grew in the telling.
I sure hope I can duplicate the success with future works.
On the Map for Black Rock-------------------------------
Someone asked why the maps for Sun County,Gaumata's Vision, and something else don't match.
The Black Rock Map is on a scale where virtually every feature is too small to appear on the Sun County map. The only thing that does appear is Queenscliff. I don't have any of the maps with me here at work, so I can't go into any more detail now.
But for the inobservant, notice how major features of the Black Rock & Environs map all line up along a few straight lines....
