Always good to hear! One nice thing about Deadlands is that they seem to 
actualyl be keeping exotic characters, well, exotic. A normal human can 
still take on a lot of the horrible monstrosities, and the drawbacks are 
much more real than the various White Wolf games' drawbacks.

(As a new Werewolf player, I got involved in the usual  'what happens to 
clothes' discussion. This gets handwaved very easily in most campaigns, 
apparently, as it is done in ours. We do make sure a lot of problems 
with being capable of becoming a monstrous werewolf do come into play.)
