About the adventure
It's well past noon on another scorching hot day in Albuquerque and the Diligent Diligence is late. Few other stagecoaches can claim as spotless a record of timeliness as Victoria Barnett's, but it was due yesterday and there's been hide nor hair of it. Roscoe Craft is expecting his brother on that stage, and he'll pay handsomely if you'll find out what's happened to it and (hopefully) bring his brother to him. Deadlands: the Weird West is set in an alternate history 1884 in the Western frontier of America. 1868 brought the Great Quake, sinking roughly a third California and uncovering a mysterious ore that would come to be known as Ghost Rock. Want some magic with your gunslinging? This is the game for you. I've specially crafted this campaign just for you and your characters because I like to run character-driven games. You'll feel like a part of the world and not just generic fighter #3 shoved into a story railroad. I welcome (and enjoy) wild ideas, hare-brained notions, and crazy schemes. If you come up with something cool, I'll do my best to make sure it can happen. I'm just as excited about your characters becoming legendarily awesome as you are. We'll have a session 0 to make characters together, and then expect about 4-5 sessions. If we want to keep going after that, we can discuss that at the time.

How to prepare
Once you've signed up for the game, you'll get some instructions and links for your game prep. Make sure you have a mic, at least, as we'll be using voice chat on Discord. Download Discord and join my server (you'll get a link). Feel free to message me any questions you like, test out the dice rolling bot, and chat with other folks. We'll be utilizing Roll20, so make yourself an account there, as well. We'll be creating characters together in Session 0, so no need to make one beforehand. If you're rarin' to go, you can read the quick start guide and start thinking about my homebrew part of character creation: a secret, a problem, a stake in something personal, and a rival.
What I provide
We'll be using custom maps/tokens and Deadlands packs on Roll20 to best utilize the combat mechanics of Savage Worlds/Deadlands. I'm a big fan of Rule of Cool and like to keep the game going, so I may not be 100% accurate with the rules.
Gameplay details
I am absolutely always open to my players saying they are uncomfortable, do not want to deal with particular themes, have discovered that something they didn’t expect would squick them out actually does, or just plain old need a minute. This can be as simple as using the X, N, & O card system typed to me or said out loud, or just saying “hey can we skip this part?” Whatever, it’s good with me. Say it in a private message, say it in a group, however you’re comfortable.

How will character creation work
We'll have a session 0 so we can get to know each other a little while making characters together. We'll use Discord for sound and Roll20 for our character sheets, battle maps, and dice rolling.
