 what would happen if a Hell on Earth character time travled back in time to 
 the Deadlands setting? Would thier ppowers work still or does it depend?

Ok, you've accomplished your first goal since I'm replying to you.  Getting 
feedback is another issue entirely, since you have to (1) catch someone's 
attention and (2) have an idea that inspires feedback.  If you want to reply 
just send your stuff back to hoe@gamerz.net -- we'll all get it.  Being on 
the digest it works best to create a new message rather than just replying -- 
and put something a little more meaningful in the subject than "hoe-digest 
....".

Shane doesn't just *work* at Pinnacle, Shane is the Big Guy(tm) at Pinnacle.  
However, don't expect much of a response from him or anyone else who actually 
works in that office prior to and during the summer convention season.  They 
are working their collective butts off to get things ready to go for Origins 
and Gen Con.

As far as travelling back in time from HOE to 1876 to stop Stone from killing 
off the heros, a precedent for that has already been set in the Devil's Tower 
adventure.  The powers should work fine for Junkers and Sykers, since they're 
pretty self-reliant in dealing with the manitous/hunting grounds.  Templars 
might be cut off from the Saints, and Doomsayers would just be out of luck.  
I can't see a Doomsayer, heretical or otherwise, wanting to stop Stone and 
thereby stop the "Glow".  Of course, that's just my opinion.

I would take this discussion to the deadlands mailing list instead of HOE.  I 
would also include a "Spoiler" tag since most of what is known by the players 
in HOE is Marshal level info in the Wierd West.  And remember just how tough 
Stone *is*.

Good luck, brainer.
