RE: [DL] Starting a Game
My
Posse's initial characters are:
A
secretive renegade Texas Ranger turned Huckster
A
Harrowed 2-fisted cold-hearted sumbitch of a gunslinger (he shot George Robey in
the back in canyon o' doom)
A
British officer AWOL from the ships in Charleston Harbour - a veteran of
India
A
deeply superstitious Apache ex-Confederate scout
and
occasionally, 'Waxy', an old deaf-as-a-post prospector with a taste for
throwin' dynamite (basically the Prospector from Toy Story 2 made
flesh)
I just started my first deadlands game with my group
and after a little rocky start getting used to the rules thing ran
soomthly. I will say that most of my group has several years of ysing
various systems and for most it wasn't hard to figure it out. The only
real downside is getting the damn accents that the players were using out of
my head. I told them to consider this first game session as a test drive
for the system and the characters. They will be able to go back and
tweak or remake there characters.
on a side note to everyone else the
first adventure we are doing is Night Train. We left it last night with
the Martial Artist throwing a burnig vampire leg into the coal tender box of
the train. Into weeks when we play again he's hoping Monkey Goes to the
Mountain and to blue chips will save his but when the ghost rock
goes.
Oh and did I mention that the train is still in Varney Flats and
all the vamps are raiding the town.
