         Mea culpa time....
         My #1 priority for Lone Stars was to cram in as much neat, new 
stuff for players as possible. I managed to squeeze in a wagon-load of new 
Ranger Gear (like the Bowie Survival Knife, the LeMat Undertaker, and the 
Improved Whitworth sharpshooting Rifle), rules for Ranger Recruitment & 
Advancement, a copy of the Ranger's Bible, and a *radical* reworking of 
Hexslingers into a new AB, the Shootist. Then, of course, all of this had 
to be dual-statted, and faster than you can say, "Can I he'p it if I's 
locquacious?", the word count was all used up.
         So I made a choice, and left all the aforementioned goodies in and 
did no new Archetypes for LS. I realize probably half of you are applauding 
at this point, and the other half are preparing letters full of "mysterious 
white powder" for me. To those good, angry folk, I apologize sincerely, but 
I stand by my choice, and hope that you'll still dig the book.
