I am.

Our posse has two, Tif and myself.

Not allowed, but I don't think I could handle the
sustained horrific feel of DeadLands very well
anyway...  Savage Worlds, though...

What do you mean by playing style?  In DeadLands, I
like normals first and Mad Scientists second.  Oh, and
combat - you gotta build a character that can handle
combat without getting strung up or throw in the poke.
 I don't like building "non-combat characters."  I
know they have a place in a largeish party, but every
one of my characters has to be able to get themselves
out of a fight on their own two feet first and
foremost.

I take character death much, MUCH harder than anyone
else in our group (including Tif), but comabt's a part
of the game.  <insert bleeding rules rant here>

WHY?!?!?!?!  Do they hand over their characters to
another player in fights, or do they stay out of them?
