Originally published at: http://gomorragazette.com/2015/07/30/a-trail-of-bodies-marshal-2015/ Gomorra is a deadly place - people die - and this year at GenCon 8 people will die. 4 dudes from each outfit and an allied drifter will be put on the block each tournament. At the end of each event, the character with the most votes for death will die. At the end of the fifth and final event 4 more dudes will die. We will be covering the voting closely, and are excited to be the source to reveal to you the list of names!
Law Dogs
Andreas Andregg
Drew Beauman
Elmore Rhine
Wylie Jenks
Olivia Jenks
They’ll be dead for storyline purposes, so we’re unlikely to ever see experienced versions of them (unless some harrowing takes place). I don’t think they’d go so far as to ban them from competitive play though.
Hmmm… If Olivia dies, and Wylie reacts by hitting the bottle hard and gets an Experienced card, his stats would likely be worse than his current ones and thus you’d actually be able to play him. Then when it’s vengeance time, bring in original Wylie to kick ass!
I don’t particularly care about any of the other Law Dogs characters on the list. Angelica and Makaio can die. I’d like Irving to survive, but I’m not too fussed about the other Morgan dudes. Bobo and Smiling Tom can bite the bullet. If it gets Dr. Dawn Edwards/Eve Henry some fiction, then she can go too.
How about Silas? I think one of the Aims brothers dying would be a great excuse to make the other Experienced (does he retire from the Sloane gang, or does he just get nastier?).
Of all these dudes, Makiao Kaleo has influenced the story the most, I believe. And Angélica Espinosa shot Roderic Byre. Irving and Smiling Tom were mentioned. I don’t think any of the others have ever been involved in any of the fiction stories.
…I have a feeling Morgan is going to get severely trashed, if they continue their ‘place well but don’t win’ streak.
Will echo that the selection is slightly disappointing, few of these folks have really been represented storywise, though some of them are interesting (smiling tom). Not a ton of folks I’ll really miss if they get nuked, particularly the drifters.
Oh, wow, Steve, got used to him hanging around in my opponents posse every day by now…
well, since i can’t make it to any tournament anyway i was hoping by myself that super experienced players in Gomorra like Wendy and Dave, who even survived the storm (at least Wendy i know) can’t just die by tournament-fate, yet ^^"
I want to lure people in to try out the game with Wendy on the cover and not tell them afterwards, yeah, there’s also a cool storyline, btw. she looks like a super though fighter, but well, she’s dead already
But i understand that it would make things much more tense for people actually playing
Actually there’s still some people on the list that i wouldn’t want to die
Results yet?
