>>(1) I noticed there were no listings for rifles. I don't really have a

>>and not accidentally.

-Yup, I did that completely on purpose.  One thing that Deadlands has dealt 
very little with, is that old rule of encumbrance.  There has to be a limit 
to the amount of junk that wasters can carry around.  In my opinion most 
tradable goods are of the size and variety that can easily be put in a 
pocket or back-pack.  carrying around an extra rifle just to sell it is not 
only cumbersome, it's impractical.  If they got a truck, and plenty of fuel 
to lug all that junk around, then you're being too nice.  Unless you're 
playing a junker, unrealistically overloaded characters are just going to 
take away from the game.
Beside you're absolutely right, who in their right mind would want to sale a 
item as precious as a good rifle anyway?

>>(2) The Conditional Value Table. Under 'Useable' it says 50 + 1d4 + 1 % of 
>>the listed price. 'Cheap' says 50% and 'Hi-Quality' says 100%. 
>>Should'Usable' say 50 +(1d4 x 10) % instead?

-Oops my bad, Thanks for spottin' that. I'll fix it first thing.

>>Anyhow, good work!

-Thanks Marshall and thanks again to all the other Marshals that have taken 
the time to drop me a line.  I won't forget ta send ya all the upgraded list 
when it comes out, and enough of ya seem to like the idea of cards, so I 
think that's exactly what I'll go with.  Who knows, with luck we might even 
be able to get it into PEG's HOE Library.  Lord knows that place is emptier 
than a whore house with Crabs.
Except it in a week or two.
See Ya,
Gus "Can't we just get along" Bus
