Re: [HOE] Any more word on d20 Deadlands?

Actully a conversion to just the d20 mechanics does not seem that hard.  
Start with a four column table:

Spades     Diamonds      Hearts      Clubs
18              17                    16             15
17              16                    15             14
etc...

With the Black Joker = 19 and the Red one = 20.
Now you have your ability scores in the range of 3-20 these replace die 
types, the bonous from the standard D20 table replaces the cordination. It 
typically ranges from 1-5.  I suggest makeing Hit points
2 X the raw vigor score. (i.e. with a vigor of 18 you get 36 hit points) and 
every thing else stays the same.  Now to make a skill check roll 1d20 add 
cordination and skill.  The difficulty scores start at 10 for fool proof and 
go up by five.

Just my two cents, I've been working on some d20 conversion, but have not but 
any of this into practice.
