4e Conversion of GURPS Deadlands?

[runarm]

Having run a 4th ed Deadlands campaign I can safely say that the hexes need no work at all to use in 4th ed.
The ritual magic used for the shamans is pretty much the same in 3rd and in 4th so you won't really need any converting there.
The blessed, however, are a complete pain. The 3rd ed way looks sort of okay on paper, but really isn't in practice - at least I and my group thought so. Since you can't directly translate it into 4th we haven't bothered with the blessed since.

Gracias amigos for the information and opinions! I am not allowing players to START play with a Harrowed PC in my game so I think I'm good to go!

Thread-resurrection, it seems to me that the rules for the blessed are actually pretty close to the GURPS Powers: Divine Favor, and I am interested if anyone has run 4e Deadlands with those.
