Character creation is fairly simple, and yet has a certain charm.
For example, a nimble young varmit might have himself a d12 nimbleness, but only a d6 strength. Adding certain traits together gives you your aptitude points, which you distribute amongst the skills you desire or need. In Deadlands when dice are rolled for an action you simply take the highest die. Well placed charts, little puffery beyond the into, and easy to understand. No interior artwork by Brom.
