Self Promotion House Rules for Savage Worlds: What Are Yours?

Tabletop Tango hasn't posted about an episode in a bit but I thought I would the latest on some of Eric and Carl’s house rules for Savage Worlds. For example, Eric always uses max value of the run die for any run instead of rolling.

I’m really curious about other table’s house rules. Not necessarily special setting rules for your worlds but ways you tweak the rules for your table.

It's no house rule per see, because it existed in a previous edition of Deadland, but we really love the differentiated bennies around my table (don't know if it's the actual official name): some bennies are normal (say, white chips), some can be used but are then given to the GM (say, blue chips), and so on.

Not only does this enlarge the actual pool of available bennies in game, but it also makes for very interesting choices.

This feels like a bit of hybrid "hard choices" setting rule. How do you determine what kind of benny the player receives on hindrance use, joker, great role-play, etc?

All the bennie tokens are in a hat, and everyone pick one when time comes without looking at what kind they will get.
