===Colfax County Range War===
 
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_Land_Grant Maxwell Land Grant] has displaced many people in northern New Mexico, causing a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colfax_County_War range war] to rage on in Colfax County for over ten years. Recently, two small prospector operations near Folsom, NM are close to a mine and have both claimed ownership. Things have gotten much worse since Ghost Rock was discovered there, leading to jealousy and outright violence between the two groups. Local law has been overwhelmed and has asked for troubleshooters to intervene. A lump sum of $300 for the group that stops the violence. ''Adventure Contact: Marshal Jon (estarrion).''

The [[Hawley Gang]], notorious troublemakers who caused quite a ruckus at Bell Ranch some months ago, are being transported to Reno to stand trial for their crimes, including robbing several banks and throwing the money to bystanders as they fled town. A protection detail for the train has been requested by the Reno authorities, as the gang is a rowdy bunch. Pays $35 per posse member.  ''Adventure Contact: Marshal Jon (estarrion).''

For West Marches style to truly be effective it requires agency and active participation from the players.

To that end, the players need to know some of the things going on near Brimstone, rumors that have been heard, bounties and notices posted, strange locales hinted at etc. This is an available collection of those that have been found.

This is by no means exhaustive. Consult with Marshals for further possibilities, including ones you might have.
