RE: [DL] Who plays Injuns?

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

In the game I run, we've had three IIRC.  One brave and two shaman.  Oh,
and one "Gone Native".  Not quite an Injun, but close.  It proved
difficult for the one shaman, being an old-wayer, when the rest of the
posse decided that they were gonna ride a train.  Then the player
running that character fell apart, tried to attack/destroy the train,
and finally killed himself (not technically a suicide, more of me not
intervening in his spiraling descent into dumb ideas...).

The other shaman was quite powerful and rather successful.  Until he
mismanaged his appeasement and didn't live thru the Trouble at Table
Rock yarn.

I've also had an arab alchemist (player quit the game, so the character
didn't actually die), a german MS (Dr. Ruth -- don't ask), and a chinese
MA and chinese Huckster.  And a couple of mexican banditos.  And a kid.
The rest in 3 or 4 years of off-n-on playing have been white males.
Rangers, ex-army (both sides), muckrakers, outlaws, gunslingers, scouts,
mountain men.  But no Pinkertons/Agents.
