Re: RE: [DL] Really stupid Question!

Gotta love that...  I personally think Stone is quite acceptable to include 
in Deadlands games, provided you use him tastefully.  As long as the Marshal 
isn't just using Stone as a way to play "kill the posse" every session, at 
least.  Stone makes an excellent story/setting element.

I loved Markus' inclusion of Stone...  way to unnerve the Posse, especially 
if they know who Stone is or what he is about.

Reminded me of that scene from Con Air when John Malkovich's character 
informs Garland Green (still encased in his reinforced psycho-killer 
restraints):  "Love your work!"

Speaking of the whole character dyin' issue...

I've used Stone two times so far and I'm planning on using him the third 
time.
First time was in the in the Devil Tower.
Second time, he was sitting on one side of the saloon, while on of the 
heroes was standing on the other - a real bad-ass gunslinger wanted for 
murder. (He was a Grim Servant of Death. And he shot a CS Major who 
recognised him as a deserter and drew on him. The gunslinger was faster and 
killed him.) I had Stone raise his glass, toasting to the gunslinger. When 
the hero managed to walk through the saloon crowd the chair was empty.
Unfortunately, said gunslinger died a few sessions later, so I wasn't able 
to expand on that.

But recently, the player with the undead Texas Ranger returned to our group. 
If he'll play more frequently again, there will be an assasination atempt on 
him, since he makes a few people very nervous in a little town called Las 
Placidas, New Mexico. People, who would like to violently remove some 
competition from the area and fear the Rangers investigations.
Anyway, they'll "kill" him with a nice shotgun blast to the chest or so and 
give him a decent burial.
When the ranger has healed up again, he'll come out of the grave. I plan to 
place Stone right there, standing on the foot of the grave, watching him, 
climbing out - making him an offer to join his side and spread a little 
fear.

This offer is valid, since the Ranger already revelled a bit too much in his 
Harrowed powers and frightenend some towns up North.

Should be fun to watch the players reaction. For me, anyways ;-)
