I just read the exchange here between a couple of passionate Deadlands fans on thier preference on what system to run Deadlands with. I enjoyed the exchange...
From my humble opinion, if yours is the style of game that embraces the system and the rules and your players are of the extreemly dramatic variety who can...
I honestly consider the classic rules to be in a state of perfection. Switching them to the savage worlds ruleset detracts from the Deadlands "setting" IMHO...
If I wanted to give the Classic Rules a try, where would I begin. There are a lot of books out there, I dont want to wander in d20 land if I can avoid it. What...
Deadlands player's guide is really all you truly need. The Marshall's handbook is a helpful addition. Muties and Misfits is the "monster book." ... -- ...
I recommend staying away from anything D20, except as a reference for ideas. I started a classic Deadlands campaign last year from scratch, and we are still...
Thanks guys - I went ahead and picked up the Player's Guide and Marshal's Book from Amazon. Ill take a look. From what Ive read half the character of the...
It's actually not that bad if you keep an eye out on Ebay and buy them in lots. In addition to the Player's Guide and Marshal's Handbook, the Monster Books...
Let me preface this by saying, I've never played Savage Worlds. I've heard it's a good system. But original Deadlands is a great system. Using playing cards in...
- ... original rules. You'll enjoy your game with them. If not? Then Savage Worlds will probably work really well. All the information about the setting will...
... Two books, the players Handbook and the marshals hand book. Others will tell you you "need" other books but realy they just offer more options. ...
... Muties and misfits sounds like a HOE book rather than deadlands, and the Marshals book is nessisary for whoever takes the role of the marshal .. . ...
Im just beginning the preliminary work on a new Deadlands campaign and Im wondering just how Wierd to make it. My gaming group is not to enthused about...
In the campaign I'm playing in, a junker created chip which he's implanting in zombie heads which provide control. He sells the zombie-bots to towns as 24/7...
Just my point. Although a cool idea, that sort of thing wouldnt sail with my group at all. If the undead where being used as forced labor somewhere it would be...
Our games as a rule are fairly mundane. Mind you when we played Hell on Earth we amped things up a bit, but all of weird west stories have been strongly...
My bad. I misunderstood you. Your setting is back in the old west using the deadlands rules (not HoE). Yeah, the walking dead should be something laughed about...
Hey, Gang! I've always felt that the best horror games start out fairly mundane and then gradually build in atmosphere, suspense and weird happenings until you...
Thats always the tricky part. That first game when some carefully uninformed players stumble upon something supernatural when they were expecting a mundane...
Just recieved the centerpiece for my Deadlands gaming table - a Model 1860 Colt Army .44 - sweet! Plopped down next to an old Stetson used for Fate Chips and...
Send one along to the Deadlands Uk group as well, we could use some inspirational piccys.. Peter King, V.C.T.C, I.T.E.C, I.C.H.T, S.G.C.C, M.B.S, RMT Holistic...
So yeah, I have been running a campaign for Deadlands for almost a month now. I have 7 players, and that is stretching me to capacity. I've had comments that...
You're doing exceptionally well, given you have SEVEN players. That's nuts. They can have no complaints about your game. You're going above and beyond the call...
... That's nuts. ... and beyond ... is for the ... have 7 ... levels ... do about it ... running the ... state that ... while you like ... and that ... you're...
Well I ended up purchasing almost every book in the Classic Set, missing only a couple now and will have that remedied soon. Im loving the read, they are...
I am a big fan of the classic system. Albeit disappointed that it is near impossible to find the out of print books that I need to run the games. I am...
Hmm.. Ive managed to find almost every book on ebay or from the Deadlands website. Not to mention the availability of PDFs. Yes, I can see where a large group...
