RE: [HoE] Junkers Gear and a minor rant

["Erik Kjerland (S&T Onsite)" <a-erikkj@microsoft.com>]

I just mentioned that I though the rulebook, Q&D, and GD were required for
an good Deadlands campaign.  Marshal's who don't plan on anything more than
infrequent Indian attacks wouldn't need GD.

	Okay, I don't know what you're talking about.  It was an hour-old
post by Erik.  Wasn't it?  Erik?

| Indian character presence.

	True.  Though, if you've got a strong indian character presence,
you're (much) more likely to have a strong indian presence.

| GD is that, and so much more....

	Yeah, I'd agree with that.  GD was half character book and half
campaign sourcebook.  F&B and H&H were more like 85% character 15%
campaign.

	But the point I'm making is that to play Deadlands respectably,
all you need is the main book and Q&D.  GD is a real help, but not vital.
In contrast, HoE is looking pretty gappy.
