Re: [DL] Deadlands - Flagship vs. D20

["Alex and Heidi Johnson" <heidij31@chartermi.net>]

Well, I for one am happy to see posts about Deadlands D20.  Although I don't
personally own it, I hope it brings a lot more players to Deadlands.  For
those D20 players out there, how do they work magic for AB characters?  Do
hucksters still have to worry about backlash?  If so, how does it work
without the cards?

Thanks,
Alex
