Re: [HOE] New Martyrs for all you Templars! (Long, Possible Spoilers)

[David R Goecke <mightygecko@juno.com>]

Having Bruce Cambel as a Martyr would be more for fun than anything else.
Come on, he's just cool. And there is a standard, the person has to have
some how fought the minions of the reckoning and often die doing so. So,
we have to make up a few things for real people, like the Duke. Not
everyone can be a Martyr. even if we were to come up with 100 martyrs,
that would still be relativly small if you consider all of the people who
lived and died all over the world between 1863 and 2096.
