This is a place for me to present information on one of the best games in the Savage American Old West. Read, Comment and Enjoy.

Deadlands is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) set in an alternate history version of the Old West of the late 1800s. It was originally created by Shane Lacy Hensley and published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. The game uses the Savage Worlds ruleset, which is designed for fast-paced and cinematic gameplay.

In the world of Deadlands, supernatural elements are very real and have a major impact on the setting. The most notable of these is the existence of "The Reckoning," a catastrophic event that occurred in 1863 when a group of mad scientists attempted to create a new type of metal called "ghost rock" that would serve as a source of limitless energy. The experiment went horribly wrong and caused a massive explosion, unleashing an otherworldly energy that has since transformed the world. Ghost rock is now a powerful fuel that is used to power advanced technologies such as steam-powered robots and arcane devices.

Players take on the roles of "heroes," who are tasked with facing the dangers of this alternate Old West, including supernatural creatures like zombies, ghosts, and vampires, as well as more mundane threats like bandits and outlaws. Characters can choose from a variety of character archetypes, such as cowboys, gunslingers, and martial artists, and can also acquire unique supernatural abilities.

One of the unique features of Deadlands is the use of a custom deck of cards called the "Action Deck," which is used to determine the initiative order for combat and to add additional elements of chance and strategy to gameplay. Players can also use "Bennies," or tokens of good luck, to re-roll dice and modify their chances of success.

Deadlands is known for its rich storytelling and immersive world-building, as well as its blend of traditional Old West elements with supernatural horror and steampunk technology. It has inspired a number of spin-off products, including novels, comic books, and a collectible card game.
