Deadlands Night Train Is 25 Years Old – Of COURSE It’s On Kickstarter
Looking to relive the glory days, Kickstarter is the perfect place – and the 25th anniversary of a classic Deadlands module shows why.
Deadlands is the classic game of the Weird West. Cowboys and zombies, basically. And one of the original adventures, Night Train, perfectly encapsulated the whole idea. Night Train set the stage and the tone for the rpg setting. And it’s not hard to see why:
The Night Train lurks along the tracks of the West, pulling in after dark to unleash its hellish cargo of starving, feral vampires on unsuspecting towns along the rails. For decades, Night Train has terrorized tabletops and conventions. What will you do when its deathly whistle blows? Can your posse survive the onslaught? Many others have tried—and failed!
You know exactly what you’re getting in for here. An evil train full of ghouls. So of course Kickstarter is the place where this 25-year-old adventure is getting new life. Kickstarter is the place for “classic” and “iconic” adventures to resonate with an audience hungry to recapture some of the joy of their misspent youths.
And recapture it you can!
Deadlands Night Train 25th Anniversary Kickstarter
Now, if you’re unfamiliar with Deadlands, it’s an RPG that’s been through a lot over the years. And it’s told big overarcing metastories (in fact it led the way in some of those areas) and then burned its non-hardcore audience out, the way these things almost always do (looking at you, Vampire and World of Darkness).
But they’ve found a new home in the Savage Worlds roleplaying system. And it’s quite fun if you’ve never given it a try. It’s pulpy Old West fun with a dash of horror.
John Goff’s legendary Night Train is back, and during this campaign all backers who board the Night Train also get the Wendigo Tales collection bringing the original Deadlands Dime Novels back into print for FREE as well! What are Night Train and the Dime Novels? Keep reading, friends, to see why these products are so special!
This Kickstarter brings John Goff’s deadly masterpiece back into the light, updated for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and with gorgeous new art and accessories to bring the fun to (un)life! If you’ve never played this classic and much beloved adventure, this is your chance to jump aboard! If you’ve ridden the rails before and are brave enough to return, you’ll find all new extras that make this the definitive experience.
Yee, and I cannot stress this enough, haw!
