More detail about the setting. You are in Cripple Creek, Kansas, a moderately prosperous town in the eastern part of Kansas, not too far from the Missouri border. The entire area (the entire state really) is disputed territory claimed by both North and South, although neither side is able to effectively adminster it. Cripple Creek is settled by Union sympathisers, but they are more loyal to their own pockets than to any nation or cause for the most part, so a good deal of Cripple Creek's economy is involved in cross-border trade, much of it illicit. Why you're in town is up to you, it's a likely area for anyone to pass through. Bounty hunters or lawmen will note the large number of outlaws operating in the KA/MO area. Gamblers will know that the tables at Parker Place are reasonably famous and there is about to be a large tournament there. Almost any type of character can be found in or around town.
