Well, in part I'm a Pinnacle Fanboy, so I guess I need to get it at some 
point. Hey, I've got a copy of the current release of The Great Rail 
Wars on order at the moment from my FLGS, along with a starter set of 
minis from the Wargames West returns section of the Pinnacle store. Like 
I don't have about 40 Tyranids, 60 Sisters of Battle, and a few squads 
of Heavy gears waiting for paint as well... And this winter has so far 
provided few opportunities to stay home from work and paint like I had 
hoped for. (The DC Metro area has had spring-like weather nearly all 
winter. Except for a few scattered days, it's been in the fifties or 
higher pretty regularly.)

Also, I don't want to be the type that disparages a product that I 
haven't read. I haven't even seen reviews on rpg.net or other sites of 
Deadlands d20!

I may also be convinced to use it for demos at some point...
