The other mainly focused on card shennanigans (drawing extra, swapping some out etc). In fact the only thing that every character should have is the guts skill which is because everything is scary as hell in the weird west.įor example: In a game I played in a couple years ago had 2 hucksters: Mine was a combat-focused blaster who took mainly spell and weapon focused edges. There is a great amount of flexibility in Deadlands characters, even within the 'classes': A huge pool of skills, spells, and edges to choose from mean that no two characters will probably be alike (yes they'll share some similarities). Please elaborate, my understanding of it is this: Basically all the same capabilities within all the classes save for the flavor text accompanying it.Well, I won't talk about D&D here (I'll have to rant elsewhere about that) And there's tons of Deadlands systems, I'm just working to find the best one. If it's not a good system, then the creativity and imagination doesn't mean squat. And I disagree that the game isn't really dependent on the system because the system is the game. I've even heard multiple people say to never play it or "it doesn't exist" so really it can't be that good at all. Judging by the other threads on this forum though, D20 Deadlands gets beat up a lot because it's so bad. I'm just trying to make sure we have a fun game with a fun system that doesn't get old and really feels like a fun game. while nobody wants to fight with the system every step of the way when they just wanna have fun, it may not be entirely necessary to run a whole new system when you could just watch some westerns and cherry-pick what was good about the other systems and incorperate them (simply at least, if not seamlessly) into whatever system the group likes.Funny how you got on here before Steven did, Phil. Remember, the game is less dependant on the system than it is on the creativity and imagination of those playing it or running it. D20 is clunky at times, yes, but it does offer a broad versatility and if you're creative, can repurpose to any sort of game. There's also nothing stopping you from just building a setting with houserules in whatever system the group is most comfortable with. Really, there's nothing stopping you from checking out PDFs of each and passing them around to see who likes what and what everyone agrees on. I show you guys this so I can possibly send him this thread link and he can read over the playground's opinions and we can decide what system we're going to play. I'm interested to see what savage worlds did with it. Based on what I've learned about though, I wouldn't suggest it personally. Classic is still an option if enough people want it. In summary, We will be playing either the d20 Adaptation or the Savage worlds adaptation. Not that I will completely shun it though. I highly doubt that I'll be looking too much into classic though, a brief description of a round of it's combat brings back the nightmares of Mech Warrior and spending an entire night getting through two rounds of combat. If it's not too 4th edition, I'm strongly considering researching it. Deadlands Reloaded being a later installment into this franchise and utilizing a different core system escapes the brunt of this attrition on the merit that it is not D20, aside from that though, Deadlands Reloaded does seem to be the most well thought through version. So, there's a lot of bitter feelings in that regard. Thus, Classic players often akin themselves to being the victims of some tabletop holocaust at the hands of the publishing companies. On a side note, a lot of the anti Deadlands D20 hatred is stemming from the false assumption that it killed classic Deadlands, when in reality it was terrible publishing platform and non-vocal fan base. Deadlands Reloaded is regarded highly but is cautioned as an oversimplification of the system akin to the 3.5 to 4.0 conversion. Deadlands D20 is considered to be a poorly attempted conversion that does little to diverse it from D&D core. Classic Deadlands seems to be seen as the clunkiest rendition of the system with the most flavor.
So, I did some digging on your inquiry and discovered some things.ġ.
