Deadlands 30th Anniversary Celebration KS

Kickstarter for Deadlands 30th Anniversary.

  • Deadlands: Core Rules ($50) - Not really a new edition but a new format: Savage Worlds core rules trimmed down for Deadlands, character stuff from the old main rules + some of the companions, GM stuff from the old main rules minus a bunch of monsters now separated out. Two minor rules changes (for Dueling and Chases) are available free on the Pinnacle web site but all the stuff is pre-existing material.
  • Deadlands: Rascals, Varmints, and Relics ($40 or +$25 if buying core rules) - monster and treasures book.
  • Deadlands: Accessories Box ($50) - physical accessories for GMs: action deck, bennies, conviction tokens, GM screen, set of dice, five dials to track ammo or power points, poster map, reference cards.
  • Deadlands: Power Cards ($30) - reference card sets for all arcane backgrounds
  • Deadlands: Starter Set ($40) - "showcase" version of rules, one adventure, maps, tokens, pawns, action deck, templates, archetype cards
  • Deadlands: 30 Years of Games, Grit, and Ghost Rock ($50) - history and picture book, there will be no PDF version

I'm rather ambivalent about this. It's basically stuff I already own though reformatted into a new nicer version. Kind of rough that the Accessories Box and Starter Set overlap a lot.

I think in the end maybe the Core Rules + Monster book for $75 + about $15 shipping I'm guessing. That's kind of a nice self-contained "these are the only two books you need plus an adventure".
