LFGM, SWADE Deadlands - Alternating Saturdays, ~8 PM EST

Party of 3+ (currently 3 but potentially more) players looking for a SWADE Deadlands game for alternating Saturday (ie next opportunity for a session would be May 31st) evenings starting around 8 PM EST. The current 3 players all play together on alternating Saturdays in another game that's been going for several years, and we'd like to find something to fill in the off-weeks; specifically, we'd like to get a chance to explore the Deadlands settings and SWADE mechanics a bit. Variable experience levels - from zero experience, to having played in several SW/Deadlands games - however, as a 20+ year veteran of TTRP gaming, I can vouch for all present as inclined to take the game seriously, to show up reliably and to be engaged in the game during sessions. Primary interest is finding a reliable, quality GM - expect at least one voice-chat meetup before any game action - but if you're a(n 18+) player and you'd like to be considered for inclusion, consider this an invitation to reach out. Speaking for myself, I would prefer a narrative-oriented scenario, however sanbox is fine too; mature content/themes welcomed, but let's not get into 'spicy' territory. Feel free to post here or contact me via DM.
You know you can count me in. I just hit up a couple of other people I thought might be interested and shared the link to this message with them.

Good stuff Jeff. Will keep you posted as GM search continues. To clarify: With Jeff's inclusion, we've now got a steady 4-person party, with some other potential players in the wings; still seeking a reliable GM .
Hey guys! I'm Erika, a pro GM on Start Playing. In addition to some other projects, I've been working on a Deadlands campaign to post there. It's in the early stages and I hadn't posted it yet, but if you guys are all interested I could hurry things up :)&nbsp; I am a paid GM though, and I do charge (~$20) for sessions. Here's the listing that I had in the works.&nbsp; Let me know if you are interested, thanks! Here's my SP profile: <a href="https://startplaying.games/gm/cluvll50z000d57yoqfpehox5" rel="nofollow">https://startplaying.games/gm/cluvll50z000d57yoqfpehox5</a> Deadlands: The League of Extraordinary Hombres A Weird West Pulp Adventure of Secrets, Steel, and the Supernatural &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s 1889. The frontier is dying—but something stranger is rising to take its place. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the shadows of empires and railroads, monsters stalk the borderlands, ghosts haunt forgotten gulches, and ancient powers whisper through the dust. Most folks keep their heads down. But not you. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The League of Extraordinary Hombres is a Weird West campaign inspired by The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic), Deadwood, The Good, the Bad and the Weird, Hellboy, Peking Opera Blues, and the pulp serials of the 1850–1930 golden age. Expect a world of masked vigilantes, cursed gunslingers, stolen relics, government conspiracies, and desert towns hiding secrets older than the country. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It’s not full-on Deadlands, and it’s definitely not Wild Wild West. The Reckoners, Fear Levels, and some of the setting metaphysics have been reimagined. This is a world where the supernatural has always existed—unseen, half-believed, and fought in the margins by people like you. 🔍 What You Can Expect: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🧭 Tone: Cinematic pulp adventure meets gritty supernatural western—equal parts X-Files and Deadwood with a streak of Penny Dreadful and Big Trouble in Little China &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🐍 World: Ancient cults, ghost-ridden towns, secret societies, esoteric relics, and gunfights in foggy borderlands &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ⚙️ System: Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🧪 Setting: Custom world adapted from Deadlands but without its cosmology; supernatural forces exist, but there’s no metaphysical feeding meter or fear economy—just monsters, mysteries, and consequences &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🎭 Characters: You’re pulp-era legends in the making—hexslingers, revenant lawmen, spirit mediums, rogue inventors, opera-house spies, gunfighters chasing redemption, or stranger things still like superheroic or mythical characters in the style of Baron Munchausen, Olympia the Automaton, Paul Bunyan, Olga Mesmer or The Invisible Man. 💼 Session Style: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 💬 RP-driven with high-stakes choices and moral ambiguity &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🎲 System mastery not required—Savage Worlds is fast and cinematic &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🕵️ Investigation, weird combat, eerie travel, occasional pulp absurdity &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 🧃 The world is reactive, faction-driven, and full of secrets that remember what you've done 🧢 Before You Join: This isn’t a campaign about power levels or genre parody. It’s a game for players who want to inhabit a heightened, haunted version of the historical West—a world where the adventure serials might have told the truth… just not all of it. If you like your Weird West with a touch of cosmic horror, folk myth, frontier grit, and poetic violence, I’d love to have you at the table.

While your campaign sounds extremely on-point and engaging, I don't believe we're interested in paid games at this time; however, will keep you in mind should that sentiment change with time.
No problem, thanks for keeping me in mind!&nbsp; By the way, if you just want to hang out and play some Savage Worlds I'm listing a couple of free one-shots. Good luck with your campaign! :) Savage Pathfinder: <a href="https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmb4ggv1y00agk74i8bz826k0" rel="nofollow">https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmb4ggv1y00agk74i8bz826k0</a> Savage Cyberpunk: <a href="https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmb4gekkc008rawim9k4u3lxp" rel="nofollow">https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmb4gekkc008rawim9k4u3lxp</a>
