RE:[DL] Time Machines

>>Either that, or you just have Doc Brown show up in a DeLorean.

That's what inspired me to post the original message. I was watching
Back to the Future on DVD and wondered....this could be fun with
Deadlands.

Ah, poor Prof. Kromer! Kudos to John Goff for thinking of the greastest
twist to any time travel episode: re-materialization in deep space
because the solar system moves!
My idea for time travel in Deadlands would consist of a Hell of Earth
junker inventing a time machine to go back in time anmd prevent the Last
War from happening. Paradoxes, anyone? Anyway, he'd have free reign in
scavaging for parts to build his contraption and with the tech spirits
in his corner, his time traveling episodes could be interesting. I'm
thinking he'd convert an old shuttle craft into a time machine and
travel in space and in time as well. Any thoughts?
