:* Breakage: Cheap guns, saddles, and so forth—anything a survivor might use in a skill roll—break if the player rolls a Critical Failure. An el cheapo axe falls apart while you’re trying to whack some nogood rascal, or a secondhand wagon loses a wheel.

:* Skinflint characters who cheap out on horseflesh are in for a whole different addition to their normal statistics, have two Minor Hindrances or a Major Hindrance of the Marshal’s choice. That’s right, partner, you could wind up with an Elderly nag, a Stubborn mare, or a Mean stallion full of piss and vinegar. You pays your money...
