Re:[DL] Sourcebooks and realism (was: Murder at Overlook Hotel)

[mightygecko@juno.com]

as wonderful as the cowtown creator is, i'd like to warn anyone who gets it to be carfeul with the detail. I own it, but havn't really used it yet, but i loned it to our current Weird West Marshal and his last advenutre had so much detail that we had no idea what to do. the town was so deatiled that we couldn't pick out what was a lead and what was flavor. i don't know it that's happened to anyone else who has it.

I'm actually waiting for it. Someone mentioned it in a mail a few days ago, 
and a google search and some keystrokes later I had one ordered ;-) .. I'm 
picking up everything just remotely Deadlands related these days, and that 
book seemed like a perfect thing for creating a realistic settlement. I'm 
trying to make things as realistic as possible, and since my knowledge of 
the west is limited to Deadlands sourcebooks and old western movies (living 
in another country can do that to you), I'm searching the library and 
whatever other books I can find on how everyday life in the west actually 
where.
