One of the high points was fencing vampires atop a moving train. I was about heroic as fuck.

Wait. You did the Night Train module... and survived?

Your character must have been broken like the Great goddamn Maze.

We blew up the Night Train. I escaped managed to decapitate several vampires, save a fair senorita, and ride off into the sunrise with her sitting side-saddle in my lap.

The rest of the group barely survived, and were a little cross with me for somehow managing to play the same game as them while inhabiting a different genre. They were slogging through a grim western horror story, while I was playing a heroic, romantic adventure!

This was less to do with the character's stats being broken (he was an experienced character, but had no arcane background, and several of the PCs were technically more powerful) than it had to do with him being the LUCKIEST character I have ever played.

Old Deadlands had an open-ended dice system; if you got max on a die, you rolled again and added. This guy routinely got 40s on d12s.

I'm glad it worked out that way. I intended his optimistic, naive outlook to be gradually broken by his experiences; instead, the opposite happened. He became convinced that life was exactly like the stories his sister used to tell him, and he was the hero destined to save the people and receive their adulation. Much posing on rooftops and "FEAR NOT, FOR IT IS I! DON JORGE ANTINO MARTIN VELASCO-CABRALES!" ensued.

Don J.A.M.V.-C.'s storybook view of the world frequently got him in trouble, and he was useless in investigation and mystery segments (except for the times when he'd accidentally do the right thing.)

But the real problem was that, as a Spanish gentleman, he viewed women as treasures to protect, cherish, make sweet love to, and never ever listen to.

This is a problem when the BBEG is female. Although it was pretty funny when I kidnapped her to save her from those wicked men who were using her (her minions.)

"Let me GO you oily-haired brute! What do you think you're doing?"

"Hush now, my dove. You have a man with you now, and I will do the thinking for both of us."
