Keeper Comments

A popular scenario for introducing new players and starting European campaigns. See Mighty Jim's Session Report for some helpful Keeper points.

Be careful about which items you allow the players to keep. The Head, in particular can be used by the players as an Oracle, which might derail your campaign if they ask the right question.
