The sheriff of Oil Springs was an old cuss, with a a lazy drawl and and equally lazy demeanor. "Yep, we'd pay a posse the bounty of a hundred dollars for each of the brothers. Y'all interested? I only ask cuz them four Calloways a wild bunch. Been whoopin it up all over East Texas- murder, arson, rustlin. Bad seeds all of em."
"What's that? Where would they be? That's easy. They hole up near an abandoned oil derrick bout 10 miles south o town. Place supposed to be haunted, but no one goes there cuz the Calloways favor that place."
"So listen stranger, we'll pay that bounty for um- dead or alive. Only rather we'd like the gang dead.It saves on the feeding of um while thay wait their hangings..."
Id like to run a Deadlands game - a one shot for now. However, Id like to use the Savage Worlds rules.I know that many may not be familiar with it, but we can get by with sample test drive rules (see below). It works quite well especially for this setting (given the system was created by Deadlands creator) and the lite fast resolution would work great for a PbP game. Given that most are not familiar with the setting or have the rules, Id also like to use some pre gen characters (more about that below.)
The revised test drive rules can be found here: http://www.peginc.com/Games/Savage Worlds/Downloads/SW Rev/TestDrive4.pdf
Heavy background with Deadlands isnt necessary. Its a horror-weird west setting. Its conversion for Savage Worlds is here: http://www.dragonsfoot.org/php/archive.php3?sectioninit=SW&fileid=106&watchfile=
To further simplify things Id like to use the sample novice characters in the Deadlands pdf. Please choose one from the following:
Brave,Buffalo Gal, Gunslinger, Huckster, Mad Scientist, Muckraker, Preacher, Shaman.
Id like at least four players. If we get more thats cool. Ill keep this open till Jan.6 for people to choose a character and get a background up.
Thanks
