It's been a while since I was in advertising (in fact, my non-advertising career is almost old enough to drink legally in the US now), but from what I remember: Stick to two fonts, tops.
The Deadlands logo is one of them. Then you should pick *one* font that represents each servitor. It'll make it overall less cluttered and easier to read just friendlier to the eyes.

My two Euro-cents. :-)

Maddox trying to save the locals (of all Munsell Chart designations) whilst most of the Americans are focused on personal grieviances/big picture stuff just keeps making me think of this: https://satwcomic.com/it-s-all-about-the-children

Re: The Mint Gambling Hall ((OOC IV))

James Wilder:
James shook his head as he listened to Maddox, part of the him wanted to shoot the drunk fellow and go after Carter without him.


Aside from 100% justifying Maddox's distrust...he just offered to give James non-interactive help/told him to bugger off on his own.

Like, he's not stopping James not enlisting his help, James is just a lot more likely to find Carter with the local bounty hunter not actively hostile to him. Apologising for/explaining letting Carter go rather than helping Maddox capture him, or even just for rolling up like nothing happened and demanding he share his local knowledge would probably help, y'know. NPCs don't know they're NPCs, after all.

Besides, The bit Maddox is mad about is in Chapter5: Shootout in the Bella Union, msg #201, where it did sound an awful lot like Wilder swearing to shoot people for putting Cater to an end.

Hi ... welcome to a Major Vengeful character with a Death Wish who wants to kill the man who slaughtered his family ....

Re: The Mint Gambling Hall ((OOC IV))

Vengeful (Major) just means he ignores the law, not that he has to sabotage his own quest for vengeance by being a jerk.

I mean, it makes way more sense for Vengeful (Major) to be nice to Maddox right until James can shoot him in the back without alerting him to the prospect: that way Maddox helps James reach his quest object and then James can murder him for fun or profit whilst he's less likely to be shooting back.

Dunno what Death Wish has to do with anything, but Maddox still isn't stopping James from absently wandering around on his own, and James doesn't even have to name-drop Maddox if questioned by the rail enforcers - he can get killed by Iron Dragon if he wants!

Re: The Mint Gambling Hall ((OOC IV))

Yeah, I never got the part about threatening to kill everyone that wanted to kill Carter.

"If you try to defend yourself against this murderer who I loathe and who just threatened to kill all of you, I will fulfill his threat and kill you myself!"

James wants to be the one who makes the kill, is what. (Maddox was trying to arrest Carter at the time, then Nico heard James cutting the 'let me escape now, I'll duel you later *cough*sucker*cough*' deal with Carter and decided to help out)

Wait for the Post Round, since I'll be updating the map, too. It's going to be a few hours, because work (next week is Spring Break, though, so yay!).

In the meantime, does anyone have any reactions to Jackie's tale yet, or should I just keep going?

Bus driver, actually. It's why I can post in the middle of the day (those days when I'm not dead tired from waking up so early in the morning that I take a nape).

Even though the exact same "sudden zombie attack" happened to her not 4 hours ago in-game?

Belle was hallucinating, caused by the same toxic ghost rock vapor which is currently causing hallucinations on top of the mass physiogenic illness, all of which is causing poor Jackie Wells to imagine these outlandish things.
