Actually I'd have to agree that Deadlands has a bigger learning curve then 
D20...but once its learned the combats goes by much quicker(at least thats 
how I observe it).  But like I have said before Deadlands works for 
Deadlands(and her sister games), because the cards and chips help to get 
players into the genre and most of the combat rules are designed for quick 
pistol fights.

I've never been a fan of Universal Game Systems.  I don't think they work.  
If D20 was markted as a Generic Fantasy Rule set.  IT would be perfect, but 
trying to make it work for everything is like trying to put a square block 
in a round hole.  It just ain't going to happen easily.
