*nod nod nod*  And after all, this is DeadLands, not
Traveller...  I almost always find it easier to start
with a next to clean slate, with just enough
background to give the GM some hooks, and then play it
for all it's worth.  NPC's are much cooler when you
EARNED them as friends, instead of only bought them. 
Not to say they can't develop from purchased Contacts
or whatever, but the play's the thing.
