That was actually the reason for my second post.  The first one was a bit
incohearant and I wanted to clarify.  I wasn't talkeing about the book per
se.  But if the two had a semi compatible system then a crossover would be
likely and even possible.  The practical applications of such would require
a mind as bent and twisted as say...myself but again it isn't really
necessary.  I know that the book isn't a crossover and that the rules are
meant to simplify for newbies and people with only 3e experiance but I felt
a need to rant on D&D and Deadlands as individuals and not groups.  So I
did.
