Actually, I ran out of chips.  The posse passed me a couple, but then the 
bandita, kept shooting, and I told them to save 'em, I think the posse would 
have run out of chips before the bandita ran out of bullets.

Note that I've GMed a lot, both Deadlands and other games, so I'm kind of 
use to running characters who die.  This may have made me more accepting of 
losing a character.  And I've never saved a character if the dice killed 
them.
I've actually only played DL in person once, otherwise it's only been PBEM, 
and Ivan's is the first one that's lasted more than a month (If anyone else 
wants to start one, please invite Ivan.  Heck, invite me to)

I liked Gerard a lot, he was fun to play and it would have been interesting 
to game out the posse finding out he was a huckster.  But he took a chance, 
and lady luck frowned on him.
