[HoE] How Have YOU Done It? (And Rant About GenCon Booklet)

[Poe336@aol.com]

Alright.  I tried it a couple of times, and got some replies, so here goes 
(this is me trying to get the topic from CCG vs. RPG to HoE (lots of cool 
acronyms!))

1) "Iowa: Famine Country": Howbout some more suggestions for Iowa?  I know 
we've got lots of Marshals out here who run games...you ever take your posse 
to Iowa?  What'd YOU do?  I wanna know!

2) "Real Men Wear Black Hats": How have YOU used the Black Hats and the 
Combine in your games without them becoming old and stale?  I mean, give me 
some varied Combine-related plot ideas, your storylines, thoughts on the 
Black Hats as a group, maybe even inspiration for specific (possibly 
recurring) figures within the Black Hats (favorite NPCs?)

Alright.  Now that I've (hopefully) inspired a flood of great re-tellings and 
new ideas, I need to comment after flipping through my recently-arrived 
GenCon Pre-registration booklet: (And, as promised, this has NOTHING to do 
with the LC CCG/RPG arguement)

Why is it that I noticed, while flipping through the registered RPG events, a 
game like 'Kobolds Ate My Baby!" (Note: I'm not badmouthing Kobolds in any 
way.  Hell, just the name is enough for me to fully sanction the game) has 
four seperate events, and Deadlands has only *1*!?!?!?  There isn't even a 
SINGLE registered HoE event!!!!!

Come on, folks!  I'm a starving Marshal here!!!!!  All i EVER get to do with 
my gaming group is Marshal.  I look forward to GenCon simply for the fact 
that it's the four days a YEAR I get to play my favorite games!  And this 
year, woe is me, there is only 1 single event I really want to play (the 
Weird West one).  <sigh>
