Need Help with Deadlands: Hell on Earth Classic

I ran a few games of the old Hell on Earth game with friends over the vacation back home and  people got utterly hooked. It was a  load  of fun. Trouble is, half the table, including, myself are going  overseas very soon. So we're  looking for resources to keep the game going long-distance. Has anyone tried using  roll20 for it? Can it  handle the Action deck, fate chip and exploding dice  mechanics?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks  in advance!

No idea about the first two, but Roll20 does have a exploding dice mechanics. There is a "Deadlands: Classic"-character sheet, so you should start a new game and select the character sheet in the process, and then just try it out and see how it works out.

Fabio J. said: Has anyone tried using  roll20 for it? Can it  handle the Action deck, fate chip and exploding dice  mechanics?  Yes. Roll20 can handle multiple decks and decks can be anything, not just cards, but anything you want to put in the players hand, even.  So, you can have an Action Deck that is dealt from for combat. You can have a deck for the Fate Chips that are "dealt" to the players so they can use them whenever they need to, etc. You'll find the Decks under the Collections tab (upper-right corner, looks like a bulleted list).
Thanks a  million!
Tried the sheet and deck and they work perfectly. Just  having a bit of trouble getting the dice roller to do the skill check style  of roll (multiple dice, keep the highest  only, explode).
