watch out for your mad scientist
Study history and work in some famous dead folks. Then don't be afraid of letting your characters kill them.
They'll appreciate the sense of agency that comes with putting wild bill hickock in the ground.

Watch out for the guy who can stack a card deck. We had a professional stage magician with few ethics in our first DL game, playing a huckster. It didn't go so well.
How often should I have my players level up? I usually do it once every two missions (1-3 sessions, 3-5 hours, each once a week), unless they do something really significant. My players who have a focus around some sort of magic or weird science are always wanting to make a new thing.

That seems about right to me. I'm in a deadlands game, and that's about the same as I'm advancing.
I have a problem with my hands and can't shuffle cards. Will this effect my playing of deadlands?

No. Deadlands Reloaded runs off Savage Worlds, and GURPS Deadlands runs off GURPS.
