The only problem is if your posse has _already_ gone there. :) I prefer 
Deadwood as it is now post-SW.  But...the posse originally visited Deadwood 
and I described it and handled it in conjunction with what Pinnacle 
themselves described (i.e., having been hit by a city-buster - Wasted West).

*shrug* The lapses in Spirit Warrior just struck me as odd because to date, 
Pinnacle has been good with such things continuity-wise, and it's been one 
of the major reasons I've stuck with them.  I can get sloppy continuity in 
any number of other published campaign settings.  If I were so inclined, 
which I'm not...  ;)
