RE: [DL] RE: Savage Deadlands

["james wallace" <yelost1@hotmail.com>]

ok, for those of you who remember some of my more colorfull posts run now, 
for those of you who are not be prepared for some adult language. i am not 
going to take cover, i'm standing here in the middle of the street saying 
come get some.  now,  i do not like savage worlds, yes i candy coated it in 
my last post and it just didnt sit well with me.  it is my opinion that it 
is a fair system if you like games that are simple and lead to a whole lot 
of hack and slash when i say simple i mean oh look a bad thing lets kill it, 
another problem is the conversion i admit but also the whole mechanics of 
the system.

a friend of mine and i figured it up and in the deadlands sw system, a 
chatacter can have a toughness of a lot,  vigor d12/2 = 6, being dead + 3, 
having super vigor ( the harrowed powers and more call it a + 2, plus tough 
as nails and IMPROVED tough as nails, then we come to the arcane power 
sections and jesus a psyker on a good roll is a god, so unless your walking 
dead come equiped with rocket launchers stay at home.

 and then we get to combat, ok now i havent read this section yet, so i am 
just working on what my game master runs as his mechanic correct me if i am 
wrong but i can take multiple actions at a +2 penalty, not a problem, but 
according to my gm i can only make one ranged attack, melee attack, move and 
cast a spell in one round.  correct me if i am wrong please this will 
greatly enhance my enjoyment of the system, because as i understand things 
right now i can run up to a walking dead kick it in the head, shoot it in 
the head and then brain blast it in the head, BUT i cant shoot the thing 4 
times in the head for like a + 8 modifier, get off the laced magic weed and 
get back to reality.  and yes i am too lazzy to figure out a house rule that 
i like better, i buy rpg's for systems that way i do not have to figure 
things like that out.

as for the game of DL and all branches of it, i can say only this, i think 
it is kewl! but its been going down hill for a while now, the whole LC 
ordeal left a lot of my group unenterested because they had to wait so long. 
 now i am going to leave that topic alone and say this about shane,

Shane, can i call you shane everyone else does,  so DL went to the crapper 
everything has its time.  i can at least give you this complement, and i 
dont just hand them out ask shawn willet, bobby edwards and crash.  when you 
made deadlands you made a fucking kick ass game, sw dosent do it for me, but 
then again neither does d20.  so i most likely will not be buying any sw 
stuff.  but i will be keeping my eye on peginc to see if the market ever 
swings back around to my style of play.

"i have no ending for this so i just take a small bow"

sincerly

w.b. prescot.
