Sad to say, not really. My single gripe with Deadlands books is that they
tend to be of the "for more information, buy such-and-such other book" type.
In my case, I have bought (or been given) ALL the books, so it's not so much
a problem, but for others it could be.

There is a Lost Angels sourcebook which fleshes out the city very well, and
you would be well advised to get it if you want that city to be your posse's
home base.

I have five of each kind, except D6's (which are the most commonly used dice
really) which I have ten of. It's rare that you'll need to roll more than 5
dice at one time. One hint - try to get all your same dice the same color
(i.e. in my case, all the D4's are green, all the D8's are blue, all the
D10's are white, etc. For the D6's I have 5 black and 5 orange) this way
it's easier to grab the ones you want without having to examine them too
carefully - they always end up in a mixed pile.

Welcome to Deadlands. Enjoy your stay. Watch out for the Sandor - it wont
bite, but has been known to engage in other unsanitory practices with
newbies.
