Start reducing their chip awards.  And if things don't improve you could
throw in a "Bad Fate" chip to the pot to represent the fear level
increasing because they aren't doing enough.  Have something bad happen to
whoever pulls it.

Subject:  [HoE]  Posse Stagnation




I've had this problem in both my HoE and Deadlands campaigns, and I need a
bit of advice.
     My posse seems to have lost motivation to do anything meaningful in
the game.  I throw clues their
way, but they just sit back and go about their lives as if nothing
happened.  In HoE, they got a few
cars and some weapons, and are content to while away the days picking off
road gang members and
trading their vehicles for supplies.  Then, they go out and hunt more
gangers.  Never mind that the
world around them is going even more into Hell, they just want to go
shopping.
     In Deadlands, they're getting so concerned with the pedantic details
of life that they pay no
attention to the real threat.  When things start to look bad, they LEAVE
TOWN to escape, leaving the
citizens to be eaten by some unimaginable horror.
     I'm trying to include an element of mystery here, and they're just not
taking the hint.  Anyone
have any ideas?
