Dead Man’s Hand: Rogues’ Gallery – John Bridges

Posted byHysnap - Gamer and Mental Health suffererPosted inGaming, Tabletop GamingTags:, , , , , , ,

So far I have looked at Maeve Newton, Calamity Jane, Dolores Wood and mentioned Doc Amos. This time I thought I’d introduce you to my take on one of the Rogues from the Legend of Dead Mans Hand – which expands the core rules with 4 more gangs and introduces a campaign system.

Let me introduce you to John Bridges – Great escape games do have a lovely miniature for this guy – originally I used their plastic set to make my own, but recently I was able to upgrade to the metal figure, and updated the images to match. So what does the rules have to say about John

Details

There are many types of men who wear the badge of the U.S. Marshals and then there’s John Bridges.

He’s the meanest, he’s a pitiless man, double tough and fear don’t enter into his thinking. As he himself always says. “I never shot nobody I didn’t have to.”

P46 – The Legend of dead mans hand,Great escape games

He costs 6 Rep to add to a gang, and has starting stats similar to a gang leader. He is armed with a pistol and has 2 skills True Grit and Steady Hand.

TRUE GRIT – John suffers no negative modifiers for nerve test, nor for shooting for having under fire markers on him.

STEADY HAND – if John moves twice and fires, he does not suffer the -1 to shooting for moving twice.

If you buy the miniature you also get his special ACE card which replaces the gangs specific ACE card – alas I’ve not bought the miniature so I don’t know what this is.

Having been treated at Xmas I now have the actual model and card for John, so the real question is what does his special card bring –

  • I NEVER SHOT NOBODY I DIDN’T HAVE TO – This card can be played at any time and for the rest of the turn John suffers no negative modifiers at all for shooting – yes you read that right NO NEGATIVE MODIFIERS – so I great card to combine with the Number six and have John move twice, shoot twice at long range for 2 shots at +1 (Johns standard skill)

I created this blog as a place to discuss Mental health issues. I chose to include Music ,PC Gaming videos and more recently tabletop gaming as all of these have helped with the management of my Mental Health and I thought people who find the Blog for these may also find the Mental Health resources useful. I am aware that a lot of people with Mental Health concerns are not aware that this is what they have or how to go about getting help, I know I was one of these people for at least 10 years. Therefore if one person is helped by the content on my Blog, if one person discovers the blog and gets a better understanding of Mental Health through the videos I post, then all the work will have been worthwhile. If not.. well I am enjoying making the videos and writing the blog, and doing things I enjoy helps my mental health so call it a self serving therapy.
