Just a quick question about the Red Plague. You said that the turned "have about the same mental capacity as a chimpanzee."

Does this mean the average provincial redneck would actually get more intelligent once turned? :hehe

Seriously though, would this mean we're facing opponents who are tool using, self actualised individuals capable of communication and transference of skills within large social groups, as well as working together to solve problems and devise rudimentary tactics, such as laying traps or setting up ambushes?

If we're setting the roleplay on a small family farm, how badly did the agricultural depression of the 1920s affect the family? Have they recently benefitted from the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_Adjustment_Act]Agricultural Adjustment Act[/url] enacted by Rossevelt, or has the production limits set on their corn and cotton crops been more of a burden to their business?

How has the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeal_of_Prohibition_in_the_United_States]repeal of prohibition[/url] affected the farm? Was Farmer Tackett's basement only recently converted to the storage of liquor, or was he a bootlegger up until a year ago? Does he have a State approved license for the liquor, or is he selling it under the table?
