Re: [HoE] Wasted West Archetypes:The Kid.

[Rich <toadpooka@usa.net>]

Here's an important thing that people are forgetting:  The Wasted West isn't safe for ANYONE! 
Supposing you cared at all for the kid in question, where would you drop her off at in the
wasteland?  I'm sure there's plently of ravenous packs of muties out there who'd be glad to take her
off your hands.  Or maybe some wormlings would like to adopt.
Then again, maybe there are some nice folks out there who'd take the little tyke into their
homestead.  Of course, they probably don't have enough food or supplies to split among another
member of the household.  Plus, suppose that family gets visited by raiders, muties, wormlings,
Horsemen, or other fun guys?  The kid's future looks pretty dim all of a sudden.  Maybe she'd have
been better off roaming around the wasteland with a bunch of heavily armed maniacs like the posse.
Speaking of which,
