Deadlands worked in the poker chips and cards really well into the basic system, yet I still met people who felt it was "too much stuff" to bring. Granted, many of those people where old world of darkness guys with more splatbooks to choke a camel, but there is something to be said about the portability of dice.

As a matter of fact, last summer I designed a short fantasy game that uses scrabble tiles as part of its magic system/resolution, <a href=http://arcrpgs.wordpress.com/2007/08/19/system-in-a-can-entries/]Runic Realms. It's somewhat inspired by good old Legend of Mana and similar console games. There was no good opportunity to playtest it so far, unfortunately. Heh, the superhero scrabble game sounds interesting.
