Have got the Savage Worlds version but not actually run it. It does look like fun, but I'd probably run the classic version if I wanted to play - as I am very familiar with it. For that I needed the Deadlands book and the Savage Worlds core book.The gamey elements our group liked in classic (Pinacle) deadlands were the poker chips, cards and all manner of dice - sounds silly, but those things added to it for us. Not quite sure why. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />On the downsides, it can be clunky and there are some rather unclear or badly written rules in there. If you're interested, here's a listing of Classic Deadlands products.<a href="http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/gaming/deadlands/catalog/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/gaming/deadlands/catalog/index.html</a> All you need to play is items 1100 and 1101 - the Players and Gamesmasters guides to Deadlands. Generally I've noticed the pinacle books are often very cheap second hand. If you have the budget, I'd pick up the players guide and see if it appeals to you.</blockquote>
