helped us along building our little hellish adventures. Take a look. Their is a multitude
of dates, pictures, and plot ideas just waiting for your own Deadland's twist. Their is
also a link to Dragoncon 99, where Pinnacle with have a booth as well as tournaments.
There are even some other RPG's that Marshal Wade and Brother Renfield play when we ain't
shooting up saloons and scaring the bejeezus out of Cowpokes, Injuns, and Hucksters.
Pinnacle Deadland's Site -
The site that started it all. See what new products are coming out for Deadlands as well
as their other games Hell on Earth and Doomtown.
DragonCon '99 Atlanta -
This is the big daddy role playing/comics convention. See who else is playing around in
the Weird West or just what everyone else is playing. Entertainment includes comic
artists, writers, actors, and live bands.
Western Outlaws &
Lawmen Association - Chock full of articles by members of this club devoted to Western
History. A lot of good info including a biography of Doc Holiday's woman, "Big
Nose" Kate. Very useful.
The
Kansas Page - Kansas State University Western Kansas Tribute Site. Pictures and facts
on Outlaws, Lawmen, Cowboys, Railroads, of Kansas as well as helpful facts for the famous
Dodge City and much more.
The American West -
Another great site to start at if you are going to run Deadlands or if you just have a
love of the West. Nothing like some real history to spice up your game.
Other Games:
- Fading Suns -
A great science fiction RPG game with Noble houses competing with each other for power,
while nasty aliens, the aggressive Church and the technology craving Trading Guild all
also make plays for power. With all this political intrigue does anyone recognize that the
Suns are dimming......
- Call of Cthulhu - Chaosium's classic RPG
based on H.P. Lovecraft's horror & fantasy novels. Take a swing at an 19th century
archaeologist, A prohibition era Professor, or even a modern day Soldier of Fortune. There
are plenty of Character choices to fight the dark denizen's of other dimensions, but
remember to keep your sanity!
