Classic Never Goes Out of Style. The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition book reprinted + high-quality AudioBook by professional voice actor Charles Hubbell
In 1996 an ornery cuss named Shane Lacy Hensley penned a book about a West that never was.
In 2016 the revised printing of the original black and white game was lovingly colored by top artists and The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition book was first released in limited quantities.
Now, nearly 30 years later, Pinnacle Entertainment Group has given us the privilege to offer you a reprint of The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition, allowed us to create a high-quality AudioBook version, and they even dug up some other special items for this campaign!
Featuring poker-inspired mechanics mixed with an iconic depiction of the American West to enhance game play, and to be honest, Hucksters building poker hands to cast spells...just feels right.
Here are a few reminders about the Classic Deadlands rules:
A standard deck of playing cards with the Jokers left in is used for initiative, as well as for hucksters to "deal with the devil" or the Marshal to determine the outcome of your character's transition to Harrowed. You even use a deck of cards to build your character! Hope you come up better'n Aces, pardner...
A set of poker chips in white, red, and blue mixed in a "Fate Pot" are drawn blind by players and Marshal alike, and when spent, they go back into the pot. You gotta work for those Legend chips...
Dice? Deadlands Classic uses ALL of them. And lots of them. It's not uncommon to need five or six sets of dice from d4 to d20. And yes, they Ace! When you roll more "1s" than anything else, you go "bust" and your character fails catastrophically. Rolling the bones is not always a metaphor in this game...
Part of the character build process is to figure out what scares your sodbuster the most. Your Worst Nightmare can most certainly come true!
"Wind" is a derived statistic used rather like hit points. Wounds knock you down a few pegs...
The Game Master is called the Marshal, and the characters the posse.Some things have stayed the same! Deadlands Classic also uses Traits, Edges, and Hindrances!

One book has all the information needed to play. Players and Marshals read the front and the Marshal reads the last half to figure out what makes the West so Weird.

1x Wooden Hellstromme Whiskey Box 1x The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition Hardcover Book 1x The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition AudioBook 1x The Deadlands Classic 20th Anniversary Edition PDF 1x Deadlands Double Deck of Cards 1x Deadlands Clay Fate Chips 1x Deadlands Clay Fate Chips Extras 1x Deadlands Character Folio
As a thank you for your support, we're giving away the PDF of Paradise Lost for free to all backers!
In the Weird West, not all tracks show up on a map, and not all trains are scheduled. During the Great Rail Wars, an unexpected whistle in the night usually meant bad news, and for Paradise, Idaho, it still does. An unscheduled train is rolling into the station, it’s bringing Hell with it–just maybe not the one you’d expect given the author of this nightmare, John “Night Train” Goff.
Slap on your six-guns and help the residents of a peaceful mining town square off against a powerful foe from Deadlands’ future…and past!
The first proper stretch goal we're offering contains two art prints, 8.5x11" prints on fancy paper all perdy-like showcasing some of the iconic cover images of the Deadlands 20th Anniversary edition!
Next stretch goal we have is an Audiobook of Paradise Lost! Professionally narrated by Charles Hubbell who is best known for his appearances in the movies Walking with Enemy, Midnight Chronicles, and Memorial Day. Check out his IMDB page here. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0399251/?ref_=nmbio_ov_i
