Recruit a Drifter

kullboys 2018-09-10 08:28:37 UTC #1

Hello everyone
Sort of in the vein of 'experience a dude'.

Say you get a choice of one drifter to experience and have him join a faction. Who is it and which faction would you have 'em hook up with?

Personally after the dust up between Sloane and Law Dogs, I see Olivia Jenks helping out her husband more.

How bout you guys?
Thanks.

Great thread idea, here's what comes to mind for me:

Seconding your excellent Olivia Jenks suggestion.
An experienced Quaterman to fit Drew Beauman's move to evil (storyline tournament result), albeit I'm not sure wich of switching to LD or Fear Mongers/4R would make sense. That said, likely to be 0 influence so doesn't massively matter which factions this dude was part of, and if it was Mystical there are even some Fear Mongers/4R dudes that can invent it.
John "Aces" Radcliffe joining Outlaws/Sloane - more mechanics/play driven than narrative, as I've played him a lot in Desolation Row.
J.W. Byrne to Entrepreneurs/Morgan for similar mechanical reasons - shows up a lots in these decks.

Id love Steele Archer to play a bigger role in the Scheme of things. He culd join both Outlaws, Fearmongers and Law Dogs in my book - but perhaps leading a band of scoundreels is where I would put him.

I think El Grajo would make a good Anarchist.

Aren't Olivia and Wylie brother and sister?

I like the idea of this .
I would have Aces join the Wardens
The grayman join Morgan
Ms.Jenks would go to the 108
Margaret Hagerty would go to the law dogs ( to teach drew a thing or two)
Clint Ramsey would go to Sloan

To extrapolate on Will's thinking, could even make a cool tournament series with the draft order based on participation for each faction?

I’ve always felt that Clementine Lepp was a little Outlaw/ rebel like. Would make for a cool experienced version, grifter or not.

What ya think, @Lapp?

I concur

This sounds like a great idea for an event prize/vote as well!

I always thought Max Baine returning to Gomorra and teaming up with The 108 Righteous Bandits to take down the Morgans would have been a cool story arc.

Ramiro as a Harrowed Outlaw
I had the exact same thought as Doomdog about a Max Baine exp2
Jake Smiley as an abomination Fearmonger.
Ol’ Howard as an Entrepreneur, when he realizes even in death he has a way with business.

Husband and Wife

Looks like Wylie or Olivia needs to die ....lol no such thing as a happy marriage in doomtown lol

Wylie's death was a possibility at an early GenCon tournament I think, but the LD players saved him.

Will 2018-09-13 18:36:15 UTC #14

Wiley had already lost so much with the death of his dog Bramble but it looks like he is gonna lose even more...... Lol

Not even death will keep him from getting paid!

I just imagined Ol' Howard becoming "Honest Howard", the used coffin salesman.

"This coffin is only slightly used. A guy named Raffi had it for just a day before he decided he didn't need it any more. Now I get to pass the savings on to you!"
