  • Classic Deadlands! Do you want a system that grinds to a halt in combat if you have more than like 3 players? This system is for you! Wait, that’s the bad part.

    Do you want a really flavorful world of spaghetti western meets supernatural meets call of cthulhu? Great!

    Maybe, like me, you really love playing with a deck of playing cards for everything! You get to do that! Initative? Deck of cards. Stats at creation? Deck of cards. Slinging spells? Deck of cards. Building a fucked up mad science gizmo (my favorite)? Deck of cards!

    Did you know Pinnacle, the creators, made an official deck? With all cards plus the two jokers you need. Did you know those cards feel amazing to my little stupid hands??? I love them.

    Do you want to do mad science, explode things, and invent completely new shit? Be a mad scientist! Want to gunsling? Throw probably evil magics? Maybe have the power of God on your side (but not anime, that doesn’t exist yet) all set during a sort of longer term civil war? Wheeeee!

    It’s my favorite setting and system. I don’t like Reloaded, I hate the Savage Worlds system. It feels so fucking generic. But! I’m glad people enjoy it and have made so many things for it!







  • I love Classic Deadlands.

    Oh my God does combat drag like hell. Everyone can have multiple actions each round, up to five, and everyone draws from the same deck except the gm, so if you have a lot of people, you are drawing like half the deck each turn so chance for that black joker goes up.

    But the setting? The roleplay??? Where’s the heart eyes emoji. That shit is my jam. I miss you, Jewish Blessed trying to track down a golem he made. You were a good character.




  • The story about Jeremy, the goblin lich who just wants to ‘make’ some friends and takes place entirely in one village and the forest nearby is absolutely as delightful as a kingdom spanning epic of political intrigue and backstabbing!

    The first sounds really nice. I want to play that now. My character will be the village granny. She knits little protection doilies.
