I tend to run a slighly more "high-powered" pulp-style CoC game where
(gasp) the players actually have a chance of suriving more than one
adventure with mind and body intact. I like lots of nifty supernatural
abilities (which is what attracted me to Deadlands as a possible game
engine, its got almost everything).
