Here's the description:

Deadlands is the long-awaited return to Pinnacle's oldest and most popular setting. First published in 1996, the original "Deadlands Classic" system won countless awards and its bold, bright orange books are still a striking and valuable addition to gaming shelves the world over.

Now that the tales of the Servitors have been told in their individual Plot Point Campaigns, Deadlands is returning to its roots with more local yarns of dread, terror, and violent action. The new edition and supplements to follow turn their baleful eyes from the world-shaking events of the Reckoning to isolated frontier towns or sinister machinations in the few larger settlements. The Twilight Legion must root out the evil that lurks in all-too-human souls, the lonesome hills nearby, or the dark woods at the edge of town.

To showcase the return to more personal tales of horror and adventure, we've created the Horror at Headstone Hill campaign set!

The campaign features a single county in Wyoming and the terrors that lurk in a booming mining town and environs. Your heroes roam about the map, interacting with the locals, solving mysteries, fighting abominations, and—with luck and a steady shootin' iron—eventually lower the "Fear Level." That's how you defeat the Reckoners' terrorforming, amigos, and Horror at Headstone Hill showcases it front and center.

That someone better
... What I don't do is rip D&D apart in order to make another game look good.

Insanity I say!

That defeats the whole purpose of why RPG forums exist!

Honestly* I must express my total disappointment over the level-headed, and mature discussion people on this thread are engaging in.

Not even a hint of Deadlands edition warring to be seen. WTF!?

Where is the Deadlands 1e vs. Deadlands Savage Worlds hate?

Ahh, well. Such is life...

*Not even a little bit...

I backed Rifts and Deadlands: Lost Colony. Just not sure if this setting is for me. I'm pretty new into Savage Worlds, but there's nothing that really makes this one jump out yet.

Probably because you already backed Deadlands Lost Colony. I did too.

But this particular Deadlands Kickstarter is about bringing back the "Grandaddy of all the Weird West" role play, Deadlands Reborn, so to speak. Nearly two thousand fans of nostalgia already on the train.

I would love this... if I were about to go back to run more Deadlands. I had a 5 year campaign of Classic some time back, but I expect the group will want to move forward to other things, rather than return to it.
