Re: [DL] Makin' Heroes

Hey Rich...
The scary thing is, when I bought Deadlands for the
first time (96 I think) I hated the system, and I
quickly sold the book back to the Game store... But
now as a Gamer and storyteller, I have evolved and now
I look at the System and Love it... It is the Most
original thing out there, and now of course I am
buying the books like there is no tommorow... hell I
just bought Hell on Earth and after reading it last
night I love it...
Cudos to PEG!
Right now I am running DL d20, but only because they
are all primarily D&Ders, but soon I will want to
switch them over to the regular rules, just because
the Feel of the system makes the Game more Old west
then using D20.

"Fangs were flying, capes were torn Hell hath no fury like a Vampire scorned The number one rule in this game: 
Never call one by his real name Wigs were pulled, top hats were crushed By pointy boots in a rush And Boris at the bar orders a Bud and says, “It’s just another night at the Vampire Club."
-Voltaire
