Deadlands, Tales from the Weird West. Who's played it?

[Raganui Minamoto]

Title says it all. I've heard good stuff about it, never played it though. So who has and do you have any good tales? Also looking for anyone interested in running it. XD

It's an interesting game, has the standard 90s-era "belief of outsiders affects gameplay" sort of thing, and it's a fun exploration of a fantasy western. I can't speak to the system as I played Deadlands d20, which was not a great d20 system product, it was admittedly an early release.

Here's a tip: don't let a shaman cast the D&D spell Heat Metal on a guy's bullet belt.

I'm in a deadlands reloaded campaign in my IRL group. it uses the savage worlds system and it's both a great setting and fun system to run. I'm not sure how you'd do the card drawing mechanics on gaia, but if you cn hack it it's a great game to get in touch with your inner clint eastwood.

You'd have to mark out each card with a number and use the random number generator.

I'd probably go in suits, with like, ace of diamonds as 1 and king as 13, then say, ace of spades as 14 and king of spades as 26 and so on till you hit 52 (52 if you're using jokers).

Unless you wanted to make it really random, then you get yourself a real deck, shuffle, and deal, marking each card as it comes out.

This will be painfully cumbersome if you can only generate one number per post, maybe you could do a post of d4 rolls followed by a post of d12 rolls for as many cards as you need to draw. I know a suit is 13 cards, but . . . I dunno, just a thought.

Deadlands seems like an excellent setting to drop into any versatile system. D20 Modern would do a far better job than the Deadlands d20 game, although card drawing will be tricky online, unless you can simply trust the DM.  

[Raganui Minamoto]

True. I'd have to say that the easiest way would be to just have the DM handle it. There are programs you could probably get for it.

It's one of those mechanics that would be real fun at the table, but really not worth the effort over pbp, not unlike the card decks in Gamma World.
