I like them! Thanks! Especially the Ghost Rock fever one :-)

Well, if you're a 'sweetness and light' marshal then you could do it that
way.. I was thinking more along the lines of... all of them. Get all four
aces and the black joker, and you have an exceptional hand (5 of a kind +4
ranks, so I would at least allow it to be a 'dead mans hand' effect) but you
get all four ace effects at maximum potency...

Nyuk nyuk. My players love me :-)

I have horrible desires to make Deadlands stuff too.. (thus the ace deck
we're discussing). Give me a yell if you work on the backlash card pull
table and we'll work on it together if you like.
