I've found that the Deadlands system is quite adaptable to other genres.
Granted, the poker chips and dice don't add a lot to a fantasy campaign,
but they don't take any away at all.  My group played D&D exclusively for
years until I got them into Deadlands.  Later on, one of our many GMs
wanted to resurrect his old campaign world, but no one wanted to use clunky
D&D rules.  So, he converted the setting to Deadlands rules, and it runs
beautifully.  Check out their webpage at: http://homepage.mac.com/winterspell/

OT, sorta: Anyone know a good relatively ad free webhost?  Webjump, where
my two DL sites are hosted, is going down.   Yeah, I know they've been
berefit of updates.  I had my arm in a sling for a while and didn't feel
like coding one-handed.  I'll fix that soon... Anyway, if anyone knows a
good place to host 'em, email me privately.
