What is Deadlands? This
excerpt from the back of the rulebook does a pretty good job of wetting your
appetite. 'The Spaghetti Western -
With Meat!
The year is 1876, but the history is
not our own. The American Civil War rages on, neither side able to
establish a clear advantage. A large portion of California has fallen
into the sea. The Sioux Nations have reclaimed the Dakotas/ And
the dead walk among us.
In Deadlands: The Weird West Roleplaying
Game, players take on the roles of hexslinging Hucksters, Mad Scientists
armed with steampunk gizmos, deadly Gunfighters, fearless Indian braves and
wizened Shamans.
In 1863, a vengeful warband called the Last
Sons unleashed the manitous upon humanity, and nothing has been the same
since. The world's gone to hell, and some times you're better off
dead. A few relentless heroes have returned from the grave to battle
the abominations of these new myths and twisted legends, and their
mysterious masters, the Reckoners.
Come walk in the Deadlands.
If you dare." -
from the back cover of the main rulebook.
I referee games of Deadlands. My title is "Marshal." My job
is to create the world for my players to explore, populate it with people
and things and critters, and interpret the rules. I created this site
to keep track of the posses that have wandered through my game. You
will also find references that are useful in my campaigns and in the world
of Deadlands.
