Yep, gotta hate that, eh?  ;-)

Go right ahead!  I stole the idea somewhat off of GTA:  Vice City (Where, in 
one mission, you have to 86 someone on a golf course, and end up running him 
over with a Golf Cart.)

First two characters made for Deadlands:  Weird West had *NO* guts, and I 
told them at character creation that it was an important thing!

They changed their tune DARN quick!  ("How does skill increasing work?  
Chips?  GOOD!  HERE!!!  GUTS ME!!!")

Well, aparently, there have been three.  A Western Ghost Rider (Who was sort 
of a Wild West Batman), the First Modern Ghost Rider (Who was a guy on a 
Harley that sold his soul to the Devil to save his Father from Cancer), and 
the 90's Ghost Rider...  Who sucked.  Didn't even ride American Iron!!!

Yep, as who I'm talking about.  He apparently originated in the Silver Age 
of Comics.

And, yes, he does fit with the HoE gameset...  Maybe as an Anti-Hero, or a 
Spooky Mo-Fo that actually does good.  Maybe I'll whip up some stats on him 
one day...
