Re: [DL] Marshall in dire situation

[Jason Young <jason_d_young@yahoo.com>]

I've always figured my choices as a Marshal to be:

a) put up with stuff like this
2) decide for myself where the posse is going to be roaming, and require
characters that make sense in that context

That's not to say there's not a northerner in my posse that's in New
Mexico, because there is, but he has no particular loyalties, so noone
knows, and noone cares.

But what do /you/ do? That's a lot harder, because I believe that players
should roleplay*, even if it's to the detriment of the "story." I don't
have time to delve into this right now, but I would say you should take
your story someplace (figuratively, perhaps) where it is less important
that they are from opposite sides of the Mason-Dixon. Otherwise, just sit
back and enjoy the fireworks.

Truthfully, I don't view your problem as all that bad. Are the players
having fun? Are you having fun? That's really all that matters.
