LOL that sounds like me. So much to game so little time and like another
person on this list all everyone wants to play is D&D. I am okay with D&D
don't hate it, but don't really like it, but man there is so much other out
there.

Deadlands is currently on the back burner.  Our group cycles GMs and
settings, and last we played it was 50 Fathoms/Savage Worlds, but a
Darksun/d20 campaign is currently on hold with Forgotten Realms/d20 to go
along with Deadlands and 50 Fathoms.  Not sure where we'll go next.  We left
the posse at the end of Devil's Tower, leaping into the unknown to escape a
very very pissed off Stone.  That posse was very experienced and might do
well on the "other side," so we may pickup with them soon.  Or start a new
posse in the old west.  'Course we even had a brush with cyberpunk using
Deadlands rules, which was interesting...
