- The explanation of why technology still works in Deadwood, but not the rest of the Sioux Nations — magic totem poles erected around the city and the highway leading to it allow Tech spirits to have a refuge from nature spirits that hunt them. Um, where did the poles come from and why can't the Ravenites just make more to expand? Not to mention all the logistical problems of having a major city in the area where Deadwood is (Deadwood is in a valley between mountains — there is absolutely no space there for the metropolis as described in the original Hell On Earth book).
- In the Plot Point campaign, the Ravenites are pro-technology and the anti-technology effect was created to stop Raven from being able to utilize ghost rock technology (as well as prevent the United States from invading the Black Hills again).
- Wait, if prairie ticks can't penetrate human flesh, how can they perform a Chest Burster routine? They'd have to get through even more flesh going out that way. And if they had the raw strength to just rend victims apart to get out in the first place, why would they go down anyone's throat?
- They're noted to crawl down the throat in order to feed inside the stomach- presumably, a well fed prairie tick is much stronger than an un-fed one.
