 I was wondering about this one myself, and the weekend before last Steve
 Jackson was drinking in my local due to visiting a con in Dublin, and due
 to the number of pints in me I approached him and enquired about the state
 of GURPS Deadlands, whether it's not selling or what, because although we
 on the List keep hearing about Deadlands D20, there hasn't been much more
 than a whisper about the GURPS version.

 Well, he said that GURPS Deadlands is indeed selling alright, and didn't
 seem to know why it's had so little exposure amongst current Deadlands
 fans, but seemed vaguely interested in pursuing the matter.  Maybe the
 above is the result.

 Seems like a shame, GURPS Deadlands is just as valid an addition to the
 community as is Deadlands D20.  Maybe the reason for it being overlooked
 is because the D20 version came directly out of the PEG stables, whereas
 the GURPS one was handled by SJG?
