Well Im about to start running deadlands for the first time and one of my players wanted to play a Harrowed and i agreed, He and I were going through making...
I always read it as "and"... but the real question is, as it is your game, is that the way you want it to read? Don't get bogged down in what the writer wanted...
Well thats how i was reading it, just wanted to ask to see if anywhere it blantly said OR, because i would like to keep some game balance since this is My...
Hi guys I was just wondering if anyone's running or has run a Lost Colony campaign and has any ideas they want to share. I've been running a campaign for about...
Yeah, I ran a LC campaign for a good long time. I had a good long campaign set-up for them to run which they had to, eventually, make their way onto an...
Hello Everyone, To begin, I must admit that I am very naive towards the game Deadlands: The Weird West. I used to play roleplaying games in the late 80's and...
... Strange, when I purchase new sets of dice, they still usually come with 2 d10s. I think it's just the set you bought. :-) ... There is a Deadlands...
... Actually, that is VERY arguable... Savage Worlds is the worst of 3 other systems, and it is basically non-functional... just to give the other point of...
... It's perfectly functional. You may not like the system, but the system DOES work and is very playable. I've been playing it for nearly a year now with...
... As a mater of fact it isn't. I have talked to more than 20 people who, like myself, started using the system to find that combat was impossible, and that...
... On the other hand, I know personally of three gaming groups, including my own, which has used Savage Worlds with great success, without any frustration,...
Ditto. Thanks, Dr. Jest. Grendel ... From: deadlands2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:deadlands2@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of The Intrepid Doctor Jest Sent: Friday,...
Thank you both for your answers and opinions. I for one have always been a firm believer that the wealthiest person is the one with options. From what both of...
I'm sure this is an old one, but I have to ask... I am very excited about starting a new Deadlands campaign (2nd edition), but I am less than satisfied by the...
... What obstacles? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around ...
Two obstacles I see are speed and probability issues. The combat rules look like combat may involve a lot of game time. For example, to resolve a gunfight you...
... Your GM should know the distance and TN. ... Only if you're using a gattling gun or some other form of Mad Scientist gun (and even then you can roll that ...
... Combat actually plays pretty quick once you're familiar with the rules. The learning curve can be a bit steep, especially for a newbie GM (players have it...
... Read the Marshal's handbook. It has various short cuts on making combat quicker. About Armour, most people don't walk around with it, only beasties and...
Thanks. I have already seen some of the quick tricks in the Marshall's Handbook. They do look helpful. I'm trying to introduce a new system to a group who are...
Seems like someone created a "cheat sheet" at one point (perhaps the one someone referred to earlier in this discussion?) that sped combat up considerably. I...
... I've just uploaded the two cheat sheets that I found many a year ago, to the yahoo group files section. I can't remember where they come from, so if...
... It shouldn't take more than a minute to do a round of combat with 4 players. If you have more, it might take a bit longer, especially if you're all new to...
There used to be a page with a great Deadlands timeline on http://mscof.home.texas.net, titled "Waste of Space". This site is now retired. Does anyone have a...
Whoops! I had that same site bookmarked and now it is, indeed, gone. ... From: "grendelpreacher" <no_reply@yahoogroups.com> To: <deadlands2@yahoogroups.com> ...
Do all relic weapons adversly affect supernatural creatures? Some of the weapons in the marshal's handbook specify that they do (like Cortez's Sword) but...
