<< (4) The new archetypes are pretty cool, although, like with Deadlands, I'll
 probably see more possibilities in them when their respective books come out.
 Sykers, at the moment, don't do a lot for me, but I bet that'll change when
 their book is released. Templars and Doomsayers have enough possibility in
 them characterwise, but their respective "powers" seem a little hard to come
 up with my own gimmicks for. >>

  I think that the presented archetypes are excellent.  The sykers are fairly
interesting but I don't feel any draw towards them at the moment.  The
doomsayers are great, I like their rules and I have allready heard an
excellent doomsayer character idea.  The templar rules are great and their
cockyness is a great balance to the blessed.  The ravenite and indian brave
characters are interesting enough and have enough history that I want to play
one (something I still can't say about Deadlands indians).  The junker rules
are utterly insane yet great- and their unique style is entertaining ( In
Deadlands, if a mad. built a couple jet packs- they would look alike for the
most part, but a junker couldn't make two jet packs at all alike, one could be
in a computer casing and the other jammed on an I-beam).  The Road Warrior
Arch.,  nice recreation.  The law dogs are a nice variation of the texas-
rangers/pinkertons/fire-fighters I had seen in deadlands.  Also, the tale-
teller archetype I have fallen in love with (maybe I'm saying too much there).
