Deadlands

I've started GMing a Classic Deadlands campaign and in the process before and now it's been slightly difficult. I'd like to suggest adding material to be used for Deadlands such as Deadlands character sheets, more western packs in the marketplace(right now there's only one pack of tokens), a way to draw fate chips(white, blue, and red poker chips), Deadlands as an option for LFG and currently playing, etc. I love Roll20 and have planned several campaigns to GM in the future on the program as well as will be playing in many. I'd love for the community to be familiar with Deadlands.

All the character sheets are contributed by the community. You might post in the character sheets forum and see if you can find someone who would be willing to create one for you. Alternatively, you could create one yourself and contribute it. You would need to sign up for a Mentor subscription to test it, but once it's accepted, you could drop back down to supporter if you wanted to. Artists create content for the marketplace of their own volition, Roll20 doesn't really control what they are creating. There are many artists that participate on these forums. You might want to talk to a few about getting more content in the marketplace. For fate chips, you can setup a few more decks. Here's one I created for Savage worlds. You could create 3 decks like this for each of the 3 colors: Be sure your "card" for chips has transparent edges to get the right look. Looking for Group options are based on the number of requests made for a system. Deadlands would fall under Other unless it gains a big following on Roll20 and many games are being played. Hope that helps!

I've never played Deadlands, is this the kind of character sheet you're using? <a href="http://www.lynchburgjournal.com/DLChrForm.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.lynchburgjournal.com/DLChrForm.pdf</a>
Yes it is! Also this helps out tons, I really appreciate it :). We've decided to move to Deadlands Reloaded, which is more similar to Savage Worlds, but basically works the same with the cards and fate chips. So woohoo! Thanks again!

I'm only passingly familiar with Deadlands, but several of my maps might suite your need such as some from my dessert set , or my train set which includes old er style steam engines .
Actually those both WILL be helpful! Between those and the western people tokens, I should be able to make workable maps I think. Thank you so much Gabriel =]

I plan to go back and make more Old West style tokens someday, but it'll be a few months at least. Got a truckload of other stuff to do ahead of them. However, if you find yourself crying out for a particular token or you just happen to have a handy list of the kinds of tokens you'd like to see in an upcoming set, PM me. I'm always interested in finding out what folks want.

As Aaron said, you can use Card Decks for the Fate Chips, but you don't need to have three separate decks. If I recall correctly, Deadlands Classic has a certain number of White, Red and Blue chips, with Blue being the fewest. I created a single deck and just placed the correct number of each colored token in the deck.
Yes! Please, please, PLEASE add Deadlands Classic to the Playing/LFG lists. Some of us old schoolers dislike Savage Worlds, and its a tiny bit ridiculous to me that you can specify D&D variants back to the white boxes, but you can't do anything but Savage Worlds.
