* MagnificentBastard: The younger [[FutureMeScaresMe Jasper Stone]] is a wily and deadly criminal living by the edge of society when he encounters the wicked Harrowed who is himself in the future. Allying with the elder Stone, the younger Stone proves himself a deadly and brilliant foe, setting up traps and luring the heroes to be destroyed before he realizes the truth of the elder Stone's motives. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Disgusted]] at the prospect he might bring about HellOnEarth, he instead lures the elder Stone into a trap and even finds a way around the prophecy that only a gun fired by Stone's own hand can destroy him by [[AnArmAndALeg severing his own]], still holding the gun, and giving it to the heroes to shoot his elder self.

** From the ''Ghostwalkers'' novel, by Jonathan Maberry: [[BigBad Aleksandar Deray]] is a {{necromancer}} who uses his forces to harrow settlements, killing many people and raising them as fodder for his zombie armies. Enslaving others as Harrowed, infecting them with Manitou and keeping them as slaves via Ghost Rock, Deray sacrifices others for power and intends on building an army to conquer America. Having one Harrowed, Lucky Bob, attempt to kill his own daughter Jenny, Deray is later revealed to be running a [[PoWCamp prison camp]], and has the prisoners massacred to test out his iron giant Samson. Leading an attack on the city Paradise Falls, Deray attempts to [[LeaveNoSurvivors slaughter everyone there]] before running rampant through America, building his own empire on bloodshed and ashes.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Killing Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday in ''A Stone and a Hard Place'' just to induce the WorfEffect as well as make Stone look more badass didn't accomplish either. Both men had a fascinating history as well as characters that would have been interesting to explore in a supplement.

* VoodooShark: The explanation of why technology still works in Deadwood, but not the rest of the Sioux Nations -- magic totem poles erected around the city and the highway leading to it allow Tech spirits to have a refuge from nature spirits that hunt them. Um, where did the poles come from and why can't the Ravenites just make more to expand? Not to mention all the logistical problems of having a major city in the area where Deadwood is (Deadwood is in a valley between mountains -- there is absolutely no space there for the metropolis as described in the original Hell On Earth book).
