Summary: Bald IS beautiful, baby.
Review: When I first picked up Deadlands, I felt somewhat cheated by the fact that most everything in the Marshal's section comes out to "This secret will be revealed in Lost Colony." Then I went back and read some of the older stuff and realized that it was basically designed to be a play in three acts, and that I had come in on Act Two. (I first got into the game via Hell on Earth.) Well, this book will give you some background on Faraway from the folks who were actually there. That's it's main value to me. Beyond that, it's the standard Deadlands class book. Quite useful, new edges, hinderances, and abilities. And, of course, the special adventure just for that class at the end. For me, though, the book was worth it for the background.
