[DL] Deadlands Classic as fantasy

     There is a plan
for a D20 version of the game (very tentatively), as a person from one
D20 publishers told me a couple months ago regarding an illustration job,
but with the proliferation of D20 games, I would rather stick to my
homebrew for Deadlands (although I will still do the art for the game and
check it out if it ever does come about). Has anyone else played
Deadlands as a fantasy game? I am sure this has been brought up before,
and I hope I am not abusing the Dumb Questions rule too much.

Regards,
Steve
