The Quick and the Dead contained some new edges and
hinderances, the 1876 Tombstone Epitaph report on the
Weird West, and some marshal stuff.  Most of it is
reprinted in the second edition Players Handbook, as
well as most of Tales of Terror:1877, which moves the
game world forward to 1877.

Hexarcana changes the martial rules completely - you
don't need the Great Maze boxed set to use it.  On the
other hand, the Great Maze is one of the best game
supplements I've seen, and is well worth picking up.
