I regularly have snappy comeback syndrome where the next mornning I 
think up a variation on a scene that would have made last night's game 
KILL!

Oh, and I might steal the golf course idea... But in my case, it has 
been mainteained through the last war in a pocket of the Hunting 
Grounds, and the posse will see it 'age' 13 years in a single scene... 
Leaving it zombie-ridden.

My posse seems to have some a few characters who never remember that 
Guts is Important.

Hmmm... Not the most familiar with the Ghost Rider incarnations... I've 
been reading the excelelnt Kevin smith run of Green Arrow lately, and 
have stolne a few ideas for a character designed with a Junker Friend 
in High Places.

I think the classic Ghost Rider image I remember from the 80s is 
definitely fitting for Deadlands... I tend to draw more inspiration 
from the Crypt Keeper myself, though...
