Typically, when we run a game, the marshal is always rotated (so no one is
constantly stuck with that role), so characters are always coming &
going. Just have them gone. If the players show up again, fine, the
others find them in a town & can hook up again. Sometimes I want to
play my gunbunny--if so, then my blessed is off trying (in vain) to reform some
sinners. Sometimes, we need the reverend, so the gunbunny is off doing his
thing. If you read the old dimestore novels, you'll notice that except for
one character, the posse's makeup is constantly in flux.
