SV: SV: [DL] Archetypes that need recusing

[Nils Anker Oldefar <he1021@non.tietgen.dk>]

Luckily I'm the proud owner of two Marshals log's, and though one is
weathered they do their job wondefly. In my current campaign the players are
drifters out to seek their fortune. Any attempt to settle down and raise a
home is squashed by tragidy. After all it's called Deadlands and not Little
House on the Praerie the RPG. I had one player marry in the middle of one
campaign, I love curses and then turning them soppy in in the end (The only
cure to the curse was to say "I love you" in gaelic) Tears a-plenty...

The only reason I like keeping character sheets is so I can refresh my
memory of character's hindrances when I'm plotting adventures. While money
is a universal motivator, I generally let the PCs life for free in their
home town (where they are known as heroes to a point, they have jobs,
etc.) to keep bookkeeping simple and not getty petty.

On the road, however, things differ.

Anyway, a lot of my posse willingly took characters with plot hooks built
in. Oaths, obligations, etc. Sometimes it's great giving a charcater the
job of convincing the Posse to help and letting me sit back and watch...
