Deadlands: Difference between revisions

* Deadlands: The Weird West

* The Great Rail Wars

 

Finally, there's the third Deadlands setting, ''Lost Colony''. Set in a star system "far, far away", where a group of [[Noble Savage|sentient, but primitive]], aliens may just hold the key to defeating the [[Big Bad]]s once and for all. It's meant to provide a suitably expansive backdrop to the series' climactic [[Grand Finale|final confrontation]], but was hindered by a lack of support: only a handful of books were written to support the setting, a far cry from the extensive treatment of previous games in the series. Like its big brothers, however, it maintains a very "Western" feel, leading to the tagline used in all three series, "The spaghetti Western...with meat!"

 

* [[Abraham Lincoln]]: {{spoiler|Harrowed}} after his untimely death.

* [[Absurdly High Stakes Game]]: Hucksters rely on this- in ''Reloaded'', low mana gain is offset by their ability to bet bits of their soul on poker hands for free mana. Getting a high hand gives you increasing amounts of mana, but losing and not being able to pay for the spell can have any number of unpleasant consequences. In ''Deadlands Classic'' poker is part of the spellcasting mechanic, in play as well as in-'verse, and the critical failure table for huckster magic is the harshest one this troper has seen.
