This is a very good point. The Hound Tower demo acts as a 'walk through' for new GM's. We do something similar in the AEG demo 'Who wants to join the Navy?' in that the people who wrote it taught the folks demo-ing it at Origins/GenCon and the folks there run it for their friends/campaign when they get home or when they do demos.
The effect was to propagate a 'good way to run the game' out very rapidly through the gamer population. Hopefully, Hound Tower will have a similar effect.
