Thanks for doing this! Can you add links to Doomtown DB for the cards that these acronyms refer to?

Also a few more:

  • LD = Law Dogs
  • SG = Sloane Gang
  • OL = Outlaws
  • FM = Fearmongers
  • EW = Eagle Wardens
  • FP = First Peoples
  • 108 = 108 Righteous Bandits
  • AN = Anarchists

Maybe separating them by group (e.g. factions, outfits, cards) and then alphabetical within each group would be helpful. Then again, perhaps a big alphabetical list for all of them is more useful.
