I tried it long ago, and it didn't work.
With the classic system, it doesn't work. However, should I ever try to run my Fantastic West campaign
again, I'll do so in either GURPS or d20 (With a strong preference for GURPS).
That way I can have my elves, dwarves, hobbits, gnomes, goblins, orcs, ogres, and minotaurs..

The problem is that there isn't any way to really differentiate between the races that aren't either too
much or not enough when using the Deadlands system.
