The Brimstone Mines Users Guide

[Old Dwarf]

Thanks GD- I'll never look at the Piano Player miniature without
thinking of your comment.

I'm still not totally convinced about women holding certain
occupations-The Women Gunslingers examples were not the
traditional Western Archetype rather they were Wild
West Show Sharp Shooters (Pearl Hart & Rose Dunn would
fit better in the Outlaw class) .Still there isn't any reason why in
a Wild West Show Sharpshooter wouldn't be part of a
Brimstone party, so I correct that by just calling her
a sharp shooter.

Kate Warne- I don't think she ever got west of Ohio but
she does fit in the lawman class. My trouble with that is
she was truly unique I'll need to research some more to
see if Pinkerton hired more Female Agents during the SoB
Game period.

The Miners-It's mainly the Granny Clampet(sp?) miniature FFP is
using which let me to restricting that Class. She seems a bit
old for the occupation.

Cowboys- The women examples were either Wild West
performers or better described as Ranchers IMO.

Probably my Restrictions have more to do with how I
interpret the Western Archetypes than anything else.

The Samurai- lots of Chinese but I just don't see a
a Samurai in full regalia traveling around the old west.

This is interesting & I don't argue that in reality there
weren't women & even a Samurai in the classes I
restricted. I just find it hard to fit them in to the
Western Archetypes that SoB Heroes represent.

So I'll amend my Set Up to allow Female Gunslingers
by calling them Sharpshooters & if Pinkerton did
hire Female Agents besides Warne I'll add them to
the Lawman (somewhat Ironic name-I guess Law Persons?)
