Re: [DL] icq

Actually, back at one of the cons, I think it was origins, I was talking to the
folks at grip, and they were gonna put a chip module into it so you could play
deadlands.  Cool thing about Grip is that the player version is free, and they
already have the poker decks built into the system.  Check it out at
http://www.RPGrealms.com, and let me know if anyone decides to run a game on it,
I'd be interesting in trying it out.
