         All that's true, but the Ranger you described is much closer to 
the Agency's operatives in methodology. Unless your "Crane" character gets 
into a lot of fist-fights or would fancy a ghost-steel LeMat, Lone Stars 
just doesn't have anything for him.

         Errrrr, the guy who wrote their sourcebook?:-)

         Seriously, this is quite true, and it is something that LS touches 
upon. That said, LS doesn't have anything in the way of useful material for 
such a character. If you want info on being all Southern gentleman-like, 
then Back East: The South is the way to go. Using science to fight evil (as 
opposed to a kick in the jimmy) was well-covered in The Agency, so I didn't 
repeat any of it in LS.

         Well, if such a place did exist, it we'd need to add a SPOILER 
before we could discuss it....













Like this: SPOILER!













         Sure, that could happen--there ARE Rangers stationed at Roswell. 
It's still not typical Ranger methodology, but those Texans are nothing if 
not pragmatic.



         Hope this helps!
