Keep in mind (a) not everyone plays in a group where
more than one person Marshal's, and (b) a good portion
of this game is based on the Marshal having access to
information others don't.  In this type of game,
restricting information is VITAL to maintaining a
game's long term plans.  As my Marshal put it, he's
invested an awful lot of money in this setting, and he
considers the dime novels and other pre-generated
modules his pension.

DeadLands would be reduced to Hack and Slash on a lot
of levels if everyone knew every stat for every
monster.  Obviously everyone runs things their own
way, but it's not very civil to jump down someone's
throat for stating theirs.
