Thanks, Mark. Oddly enough, I _did_ consider using Harrek as the bigbad
for the campaign script but as the book developed, it made more
sense to use another 'big name' baddie and leave our favorite bearclad
psycho as a red-herrek.
In the end, I had to conclude that Harrek's just too nasty for any
conceivable Trader Prince House to deal with - the best one could
hope for was a bloody draw or to divert him to your enemies. Hardly
a satisfactory end-note for a campaign.
