Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvvega" data-source="post: 5286426" data-attributes="member: 524">The original Deadlands was where I met the system the first time and I loved it because it fit the premise very well - the decks of cards, the poker chip, etc.The Savage Worlds system does away with the thematics to make it more generic, however it is quite easy to add your own thematics as you need to. You cannot go past drawing a Deadman's Hand when your Huckster is trying to just cast a simple hex on a BBEG - I lost Diego that way *sniff*.But what was even greater was that the strong storyline that moved through the Apocalypse setting and the Psykers setting (both names escape me right now) was great. There was good history, strong story.Unfortunately the d20 system really took away the flavour for me because the mechanics were just not right. The Deadlands/Savage Worlds system had great rules to handle pulp action, d20 did not.I've been looking at Savage Worlds Solomon Kane for a while now and that's where I might be headed next.D</blockquote>
