[UA] Engine Trouble

I'm back after some domain name trouble which conspired to frustrate me for
the past few days. I've been keeping up with the list via the archives, so
I'll try to get back up to date now that I'm back in business.

GMed my first UA session the other night, and it went pretty well. It was
"..and I feel fine" from One Shots. The killer was a possesed Timmy
Borgstrom (the 10-year old kid), and I conspired with the player beforehand
so that it would run smoothly. The three non-player controlled characters
gradually died off one by one(I had to concoct ways to get them alone with
Timmy).

It all climaxed with a toe-to-toe between him and the other two PCs (one of
whom was playing the kid's mother-- lots of madness checks there!). Timmy
was eventually burnt to a crisp by first an exploding fuel tank and then an
exploding truck (which tied in nicely with an earlier scene where the third
PC had cremated his brother in their cadillac.

I threw in some off-the-cuff red herrings, including the strange behavior of
Timmy's dog Sparky, and an interesting rock that Timmy incidently picked up
and put in his pocket near the beginning.

In the end, the two (just) surviving PCs escaped the desert, only to
discover (as they checked in at a motel) that they had a corpse in their
trunk *roll end credits*

Once I get my campaign under way I'm going to tie some of these characters
and events into it somehow...
