That would be very helpful for those of us who not very familiar with the CONUS modules. It would also be a great starting point for a HW revamp.

Yes, we've been over this ad nauseam. There's a whole thread devoted to it. Again, I don't disagree with a lot of your criticisms of HW. I too think it goes a little too far in places. But, at the moment, we're just talking about opinions, educated though they may be. Like it or not, right now, and for the foreseeable future,
Howling Wilderness is canon.
We need Marc Miller to come out and officially RETCON, or authorize someone else to do so,
Howling Wilderness. Have you considered attempting this for your next project, Olefin? You are one of its most vocal critics
and some of your work has recently been canonized. You strike me as being the perfect individual, other than Mr. Miller himself, to redesign HW.
Until such time as Marc Miller canonizes a module or sourcebook that RETCONs the parts of HW that you don't like- and you are not alone, I know- then this is all moot, isn't it?
