Re: [HOE] (Off topic) help with my Alternative America RPG

Yeah, I know what you're talkin' about...for my first personal setting, I
mixed magic and technology in a style similar to final fantasy 7, 8, and 10.
Of course, I had it all in my head BEFORE FF7 was out..grumblegrumble..but I
haven't seen anything nearly as original as Deadlands, and that may've been
what drew me to it.
