A black chip is an entirley new kind of chip. It was introduced some time ago
but I never seem to remember where the information can be found, some
Epitath perhaps?

Basically the black chip is a Legend chip for the bad guys. Whenever
the posse screws up big time (like raising the fear level, wiping out
a survivor settlement or the like) add a black chip to the pot. Whenever
a player draws a black chip from the pot, for whatever reason, he must
hand it over to the Marshal (thus, he gets no chip) who can use it against
the posse (particularly the guy who drew it) during that session. The
black chip has the same rules as a legend chip. I ruled that chip has a 
50/50 chance of reappearing in the pot after it has been used but that
the minimum in the pot is 2 (since I like screwing with the players, the
posse's Doomsayer drew black - black - white as his initial draw a few weeks
back but managed to survive, Molecular Cohesion, I hate it).
