Because the line is ending and the game is getting a new edition in a totally different system.? It seems a valid reason to discuss Deadlands on the Deadlands listserv as any.? ;)? Even if I personally think rants are a waste of everybody's time unless they A: are amusing, and / or B: have more objective complaints hidden somewhere within.
I didn't find either in this one.? Though I did find a whole lot more profanity than I'd expected in a mailing list for all ages.? (not a complaint, mind, just some startlement)
I've already made my opinion on Savage Deadlands / Reloaded.? As for Unity, well...? I've read it, and I think it's a nice adventure.? I like really dark, nasty adventures for horror games.? I also like really epic, heroes at the apex of the universe type adventures also.? Unity's both.? I think complaining about linearity and railroading in published adventures is beating a dead horse at this point.? If it's non-linear, and non-railroaded, it's seldom an actual adventure.? More like a setting module.? That's just the way it is, and always has been.

Hey everyone... I feel like I have opened a can of worms and they all escaped before I could put any of them on my hook.
????? I feel as if I started this whole mess by asking a simple question. "Is Deadlands really a dead system?" ????? The only real reason I asked it was because I had heard the rumor and wanted to know if I needed to finish off my collection before all the books disappeared. ????? Well I got my answer several weeks ago. How this has been blown apart like a ghost rock detonation in the middle of Roswell I'll never know. But I have a suggestion. How about we all just agree to disagree and move on to better topics.
