  Or maybe some scientist had the Hinderance Allergy: Ghost Rock and was
 forced to search for other means of energy.  I'm not saying that solar
 cells would be everywhere but I figure that they would be somewhere.  In
 the 200 years since the time of the Weird West, some smarty pants had to
 look up at the sun and say, "Dang.  Wouldn't that make a neat energy
 source?"

okay, i can buy that.  could make a whole adventure on getting the solar
cells(from a wrecked university??)  Bear with me, I don't have the basic
Deadlands stuff and am a bit clueless about certain things.  I do have a
question.  I assume that since Stone was sent back, reality split into two
versions, one where the good guys won in the Old West and one where they
didn't.  Am I right in assuming that in HoE, Stone won in the past and the
past 200 years were probably influenced with more manitou than would have been
in a past where the good guys destroyed Stone?  I hate time travel paradoxes. 
Has anyone read the game Blood Shadows(film noir with magic)?  It postulates
cities seperated by nasty wastelands.  Could be a decent concept for the
intervening eras between the Weird and Wasted West.
