Yeah, I know that Guts is an Edge in Hell on Earth Reloaded. Just wondering why the skill was removed when it is still present in Deadlands Reloaded, and the design notes for Deluxe said it would still be around as a setting rule when appropriate?

Hell on Earth is supposed to be harsher than The Weird West (Fate Chips replaced with bennies), is the populace just that much jaded as well? Is this also why Tale Tellin' has a smaller benefit than it does in the Weird West?

Do I win a No Prize?

I think it was explained in the book and on the forums here, that yes, it's kinda like that. It's the difference between, to use two other Savage settings, Realms of Cthluhu and Weird War 2. In RoC, the dark and evilness isn't overt, in the open. Most of the time the characters live in the real world, until they get exposed to the darkness, the alien, the threat. That's when Guts comes into play, to represent a character's inner fortitude/mental strength/whatever against the unknown. WW2, the characters are in the warzone, and are exposed to dark, disturbing imagery and things on a regular basis. That's why WW2 doesn't have the Guts skill - they get jaded, or insulated against the bad stuff to a degree.

So it is on HoE:R - the survivors have become insulated to the general atmosphere of the Deadlanded world.
