How does reloading work in Deadlands Reloaded?
The more I read the more confused I’m getting. Reloading in Deadlands Reloaded works the same as in Savage Worlds. It takes the weapon to “full” whatever that means. So, if you are spending an action to reload a revolver, when you are done, the gun is full (i.e. 6 rounds of ammo).
Where does most of the action take place in Deadlands?
The basic rules provide for characters and settings that could be expected to appear in the ” Wild West ” genre of movies and pulp fiction, and most of the in-game action is presumed to occur in the wild frontiers of the American West, or in barely tamed frontier towns like Tombstone, Arizona or Dodge City, Kansas.
How are abilities determined in the Deadlands game?
Deadlands features a unique way of creating playing characters for the game. Instead of spending character points, or randomly rolling dice, a character’s abilities are determined by drawing cards from a standard 54-card poker deck (jokers included), which determine the character’s Traits (their basic attributes).
How does bounty work in Deadlands classic?
The first printing of Deadlands Classic said that the Marshal should award “Bounty” to the PCs (essentially, XP) based on how well they accomplished the objectives. The Revised & Expanded version rolled Bounty into Fate Chips (which allow players to improve their roll or soak wounds), where a player can cash in unspent Fate Chips for XP.
