I will be running a 1 shot for Deadlands Noir tomorrow at 2pm CST for those interested. Deadlands Noir is an mostly an investigation game using the Savage Worlds system. The world is set in New Orleans, 1935 and people are doing their best to survive the great depression. Players will be part of a private investigation company looking into events both natural and supernatural. Being as this is an investigation game strong role play skills are encouraged and simply trying to make your way with force will likely get you killed. It also means that any combats you get into are likely to be the ones you bring upon yourselves. For those of you unfamiliar with savage worlds I will do a quick rules breakdown at the start of the game but what you need to know is that this isn't your D20 combat. Dice explode if you hit highest value on the dice and you add the totals together. There are also no hit points, you have 3 wounds you can take before you are down. With these two things combined combat can be over in the first round. To offset this you do get bennies that can be used to reroll some actions or potentially prevent damage. Here is a quick primer with more specifics on the rules. <a href="http://www.peginc.com/freebies/SWcore/TD06.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.peginc.com/freebies/SWcore/TD06.pdf</a> For those interested heres the link to the game. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/11605/deadlands" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/11605/deadlands</a>...
