Yes - not bad at all.  We've played every Sunday night for just about
the past two years (although we switch off at times when different
members want to run other rpg's). My own HoE campaign has now been
running a little over a year (total) and we've had no less than 12 posse
fatalities (you can read about most of them at the Shelter in the Toxic
Dump *shameless plug*) - the posse member with the current highest grit
total has 3 (and he's harrowed - and you can read about Chiun my the
posse section *plug plug*).  I don't know if it would be worth trying
with my crew because of their high mortality rate, but I really like the
concept - I'll bounce the idea off them tonight to see what they think
of it.  Like I said before, they're usually up for trying something new.

Anymore house rules/rules variants out there in list land?  Keep 'em
coming! The more the merrier!

Also, Loki was kind enough to send me a copy of his alternate mutations
table (thanks again), but I didn't hear from anyone regarding an
alternate/expanded Veteran of the Wasted West table. Anyone out there
know of one? Even a Veteran of the Weird West one might be useful - I'm
just looking for new options (and I don't want to have to invent the
wheel if one of y'all have done it already).  Again, thanks in advance.
