Neat. Not sure the idea will work for me, but I may use some aspect 
of it.  Can you give me a more detailed account (off-list if you 
prefer) of how this works for you?  I'm not a Deadlands familiar 
(although I suppose that since we were loaned the books by a friend I 
could go home and look it up).

That's the kind of thing I love.  :)

Why is that?  How have you changed how it works?

It's hard to get too powerful in BNW anyways.  There's a lot of 
things you can't roll for that keep a char from getting too out of 
hand, after all.

And I'd *love* to hear your mechanic for using cards for init!  Math sucks. ;)
