[I’ll dig up quotes, and page numbers later. I need to run out the door.]

Okay from what I can remember there are two kinds of legend chips.

1. Tale-Telling: given out to the player who told the story after lowering an areas fear.
2. Standard: Beating the bad guy at the end of the story.

When do Legend Chips go back in the pot?

1. Tale-Telling: Always go away (never become part of the pot) after being used.
2. Standard: They start in the pot, usually go back into the pot, and only go away if used for a re-roll.

Do I have this right?

If I remember it well, the posse gets only a Legend Chip by defeating the FEARMONGER, not just the bad guy.
A successful tale-telling roll only reduces the locale fear level (which requires the killing of the fearmonger).
After the posse has killed a fearmonger, the Legend Chip starts in the pot. If the Marshall draws that chip, he has to return it into the pot. Only heroes can use them, and then they are gone.
That’s the Hell on Earth version, I am not sure if the Weird West uses a little different system.

darkrose: yes, you're basically right. After an adventure, a Legend Chip is awarded for the adventure, AND you have an option to lower the Fear Level by means of Tale-Telling if you defeated an Abomination or something along thesel lines and thus restored faith and courage in common folks. Or somesuch.

Also:

In the Revised rules, the Legend Chip is awarded after the adventure, if the Marshall thinks it should be so. The concept of "fearmongers" was given up. Now it's basically - the adventure is finished, the GM may or may not put a Legend in the pot.

I used to put a Legend into the pot after every single adventure, but it led to many, many chips accumulating. In longer campaigns, I find, it's better to put a Legend Chip into the pot after every MAJOR, and successful, adventure. Unless you introduce any ways for Legend Chips to disappear permanently, which I actually did in my previous campaign. In the current one, no such thing is needed - since I allow rerolling ANYthing with a Legend Chip, that option gets much use by the players.

Mostly I want to know when a Legend chip goes (back) in the pot, and when it does not.

In DL Revised (page 147), it's removed from the pot if it is used to reroll any roll.

In HoE (page 172) any time it's used you roll a die and if it's odd it's removed, even it's put back in the pot.

In DL Reloaded (page 126), once it is used it is gone.
