Re: [HOE] GURPS DEADLANDS DELAYED!

I have a question that may be incredibly stupid, but I'm just curious.

Why couldn't SJG present the card-based rules as "optional flavor-rich rule
variants", or something, and just include them alongside the standard GURPS
dice-roll and let the players choose which they'd rather use?  I mean, it
would mean that they'd have to present two sets of rules for...well, a lot
really.  Basic Deadlands has a lot more card-pulling than HOE, but would it
make the book too big to print and make a profit off of?  Because giving two
sets of rules just seems like the obvious solution to me.
