[HoE] Stone 'n back in time

[DAMON SUTTON <d.sutton@lancaster.ac.uk>]

I like the idea of the heroes goin back in time,
	I'd do it myself if I had the time.  I want to run a capaign 
where they face a servitor of each horseman and finally have to go back 
in time (A la Fortress 'o fear) to stop Stone from doin the Gem Thang.  
Although I would alter it a bit, I really don't think it's fair to have 
an unkillable villain who ends the adventure with a duel to the finish 
with the party.  Especially since only the NPC had a gun capable of 
hurting Stone, I mean it essentially ends with Jackie and Stone shootin 
at each other and the Party dodging around like fleas on a hot plate.  For 
the party's sake (Pinnacle plotline be darned like a 
pair of granny's socks!), I'd make a big part of the plotline finding a 
way to kill Stone, My vote is you have to find the bullet that killed him 
the first time.  Throw in some Ghosts of the battlefield, Stone huntin 
them, vile henchman, valiant townsfolk, sacrificing NPC's. (by the way, all 
you Deadlands players should read some Ambrose Bierce.  Chicamagua is a 
good tale, and some other supernatural western tales).
	Then go for the nahsty option, since they imply a fifth 
horseman... Lucifer, bring him into the game.  Make a big 'ol epic with 
time jumpin, thrills, spills, bring back every memorable NPC you can some 
how, and wow 'em.  Subtle manipulations of demons, vileousness of souls 
devoted to the cause,  throw in a trumpet.  Have 'ol Lucy bring their 
friends back in time too for use as human shields.   And afterwards, they 
can have solved HoE, 
	But after that where do you go?  You retire the chars, maybe 
start over.  Go to Faraway, start up a theme park.
