well, one of my two weird west posses has a "Normie" (albiet one with a
Knack)  and Hell on Earth game I play in has one as well.  While it may
just be my perception, It looks like it would be harder to play a HoE with
non-supernatural if for no other reason then because its hard enuff to
survive in a small town much less an adventurer.  but then I have more
experience with WW then HoE

as for cautious, this party is less (the players essentially played
"friendly" character types, esp the Templars and dragon) but my weird west
game (without the normie) 2 of the PCs, a Martial Artist and Mad Scientist
were reluctant to deal with the "evil" magic of the southern belle Huckster.
