[Inigo Montoya] I hate waiting [/Inigo Montoya] Any news on the slow boat from China... 8^)

Creator Da Mayor on April 26

Ok, so, when you say "two months", do you mean roughly two months later than the March 2013 date, or do you mean 2 months from Tax day, which is when you said it'd be about 2 more months (meaning June-ish)? Then it's just a matter of putting together... What? Just under 800 packages? Hooo boy. Glad I got into politics instead of logistics.

Creator kenny perry on April 16

Wait I think I misunderstood initially; so all the books are printing and shipping in 2 months, not just the companion?

Creator Ross Thompson on April 13

Has anything interesting happened in the last month?

Creator kenny perry on March 15

sorry "books" not cooks

Creator kenny perry on March 15

I happened to notice that in the online store it says the physical cooks of the main book will be shipping in march, but the companion says july, I wonder if that is an error or if there will be that much of delay between the two books.

Creator Mitch A. Williams on March 7

Hey,
Just got time to go trhough the companion and I am lovin' it of course. I do find the lable on the Petersen’s Asylum map hard to read on the checkerd background. I wonder if it will be better in the hardcopy.

Creator Greg Howe on March 6

I normally don't do this kind of thing but I thought some folks here might find this a interesting series

@Tim
One of the big differences between good ol' Deadlands and Savage Worlds is the speed of combat. If you're shooting for 5-10 hrs. (in one sitting) you may want to place in game breaks where the players can heal up.
I'm currently playing HoE reloaded (4 hrs weekly, one of which are usually spent catching up and table chatter) and we usually cover a fairly lengthy adventure adventure. That said; When I converted and ran Canyon o' Doom, it took about six sessions (I can't really remember exactly). Converted Dime Novels still run at a single night gaming, depending on how focused the players are.

Tim:
I just ran the first part of the Red Harvest campaign tonight. Three players using Archetypes, in just a couple hours we got right up to the finale of Part One. I'd think you'd be able to do Parts One and Two easily in an evening. I have not run Absinthe yet as I was going to put it in around Part Three (as I read John Goff said he did on the Peginc forums).

Creator Tim J. Meyer on January 16

I have a question for those more familiar with "Modern" Deadlands and Savage Worlds in General.

I am planning to, in late February, take my play group an a Savage Worlds/Deadlands Noir test drive. I really want something we can finish in 5-10 hours.

I remember the old Dime Novels (Deadlands Classic) could be "blown through" in one or two sessions. Is that true of current Dime Novels, like "Old Absinthe Blues"?

The goal is a Demo so that everyone can try the system and style without spending a crap ton of time on Characters and me working a campaign. So if someone won't be a fit, we can find out early. (There's a big difference between playing Risk Legacy and playing a serious RPG.) So my Idea was use the Archetypes and "The Old Absinthe Blues".

Thoughts/suggestions/ideas?

Creator Tim J. Meyer on January 16

@Da Mayor - That matches what I heard a while back, but I was hoping to get it all shipped as one, and to know prices before hand, often backers save a couple bucks for putting up the capitol. I need to know what to ask from individual players offering to comp some of the cost.

Creator Daniel W. Cisek on January 16

Couldn't wait. Running the first game of the Red Harvest campaign tonight.

Creator Da Mayor on January 16

@Tim - What *I* was told when I took office was that the only thing that would be completely exclusive to the KS was the PI badge. Everything else should become available via retail, including Dry Erase maps, custom bennies, minis, and pads of campaign posters for you to put up all over your neighborhood. I guess you should keep an eye on the website as the hard copy becomes available.

Creator Tim J. Meyer on January 12

When I backed this, I had never read or played Savage Worlds.

I was backing because I LOVE Deadlands, even though I hadn't played anything Deadlands, Except Doomtown, in over a decade.Since This KS, I have also backed the Raven GN and HoE Minis.

But my newly formed RPG playgroup? They wants the Nor goodness. And it has come up: "Tim, can you get some of the stuff that you aren't getting in your current backing level?" Things like Dry-erase maps, print figure flats, GM screen, etc.

I remember that it was said that we could get copies of Savage Worlds Deluxe on the cheap shipped with our Noir (but since I'm getting 2 copies free with my HoE minis...) How about other stuffs? Will we be able to ala carte extras we didn't get/didn't know we wanted/couldn't afford at the time of the KS?

Just curious as they are hoping to chip in as March approaches, and I need to know what to tell them.

Creator Da Mayor on December 4

Clearly, there needs to be more automaton Opera.

Creator Tom Hoefle on December 1

the music is awesome - i listed to it every day now

Creator SmiteWorks on December 1

Great read so far. Very well done. Getting everyone's characters in must have been a real pain but I think you've pulled it off very well from what I see so far.

Creator Apollo Lightspeed on November 30

What a tease! Can hardly wait for high noon. :)

Creator Geijhan on November 30

Ssoo closssse.

BTW I'm normally a minimalist sort of guy but I went all-in on this one and all the goodies so far have pleased me (and boosted the anticipation levels).

Thanks already! (I'll say it now, I'm not likely to tear myself away from the book (well, PDF) when it arrives).

Creator David Reichgeld on November 29

@ Shane: Thx sir, great backer support!

Creator kenny perry on November 29

So I have been running an ongoing Deadlands Classic game on and off for the last 7 years, and thankfully the group has stayed mostly intact during it. The posse is based in Oklahoma, and one of their main adversaries is based out of New Orleans. They have fended off many of his henchmen through the years, but never felt fully equipped to challenge him in his own backyard. But when this kickstarter was announced, I told the group about it and everyone agreed it sounded awesome. and then I told them about my grand scheme. I saw Deadlands Noir as the perfect opportunity to finally switch the posse over to SW, and at the same time bring the campaign to the epic conclusion it deserves.

We have been building up to a final confrontation with their enemy in New Orleans and I've promised to follow it up with some questions for each character and a prologue of sorts which will cover certain events that take place in their lives, well if they succeed and live of course. I even hinted that there would be an opportunity to play their descendants (a la Pendragon), if it was applicable. I am also hoping to incorporate some events that happen in the final confrontation into the back story of my DL:N game.

Now that my campaign is down to the final few sessions, and DL:N is almost here, I am getting antsy... December can't get here fast enough!!!

Creator Da Mayor on November 29

@Marc - My birthday has come and passed. (It was awesome.) So, late tomorrow night (Lost Angels time)... I am eager.

Creator David Reichgeld on November 28

Is it possible to provide the map as png / jpg as well ? Handling and loading time with the pdf is a little bit... frustrating :) But great work so far...

Creator Marc Keil on November 28

I couldn't hope for better news. I tend to criticize too much - you work so hard to meet the schedule and it seems to work - I'm glad to be a part of this and I hope my impatience doesn't nag you too much. Thanks.

Creator David Stoneking on November 27

Any thoughts on when the hard copies will be shipped? Still planning on March? or will it be released with the PDF?

Creator Marc Keil on November 27

Had your birthday yet, Mayor?

Creator Da Mayor on November 16, 2012

What can I say? I'm a math guy. Divide November into equal thirds, label one "early", one "mid-" and one "late", and "late November" starts on the 21st...

And besides, my birthday is later than the 20th. B-)

Creator Marc Keil on November 15, 2012

You're ruining my explanatory statement why november 20th is the perfect time to release Deadlands: Noir ;-)

Creator Da Mayor on November 15, 2012

@Evan - Not since Update #26 on November 1. Our next update will probably be soft copies of the main book being e-mailed out late this month.
@Marc - It's the late-end of Mid-November, I think. Whatever the release date is, I'll make sure it's a bank holiday in NO...

Creator Evan on November 14, 2012

Any update on progress?

Creator Marc Keil on November 13, 2012

20th november is *late*, right?

Creator Da Mayor on November 1, 2012

If anyone follows the Dresden Files novels, you probably already know that the next one is due (late) this month. You may NOT know that the preview chapter is up on the author's website. The link is on the front page in his news feed.

Creator Da Mayor on October 26, 2012

Heh. As I mentioned, my birthday is in Late November, so this works out rather well for me. B-)
