Odd, I'm a gamer.  I know D&D and I don't particularly like
it.  Of course, I also know Savage Worlds, and I do like it.
Perhaps gamers like what they like.  ;-)

I think Shane has pretty much already stated that Deadlands
will NOT change to the Savage Worlds rules.  I mean,
logically there isn't any reason to do otherwise.  He's
already provided free conversion notes for playing Deadlands
with SW, so changing the rules would just alienate part of
his market for a section he's going to have anyway.

Don't worry about this, guys.  Shane will come through.
