--Megami 21:50, 12 May 2010 (MST) Out of the systems being considered, my big push is Deadlands. I think group chemistry and camaraderie really makes or breaks a game. I believe that nothing brings an artificial group of people together than the group being put in danger and people stepping up to save each other's lives, and the chips really simulate this well.

In terms of the problem with the arbitrary nature of character gen, perhaps the GM can create the character first and then attach an archetype that fits? I realize this takes away from the players making characters, but I will argue that the times the GM has given out a stack of characters for the players to choose from, it has gone generally well.

Another solution might be to limit the number of jokers, aces, and/or low numbers so that one person doesn't become a giant powerhouse nor a wuss.
