Deadlands Reloaded

Character Creation “Classic” Style

This quick system for creating

Deadlands: Reloaded character using

a deck of cards was sent to us by Yuri.

Jokers

In Classic Deadlands, drawing a Joker was

always a mixed blessing. It’s no different here,

hombre. After arranging your stats and skill

points, give the deck a shuffle, and draw a card

for each Joker you pulled. Have the GM consult

the chart below.

Any Edges and Hindrances gained from this

chart don’t count toward you’re starting limits.

That’s right, amgio, you can be screwed over

royally, but you can also end up one mean

hombre.

My wife is a huge Deadlands fan, in fact

it is probably her favorite game. She loved

making characters, the drawing the cards and

arranging them to fit her concept. Somewhere

there is a binder in which is an entire village of

character!

In order to duplicate that old classic feel, I

worked up a quick way to make characters using

a deck of cards. It is pretty quick, and relatively

balanced. Naturally, a lucky player could end

up with a bunch of d12s and d10s for stats, but

them’s the breaks.

Joker Chart

Character Creation

Deuce: Your hombre couldn’t pick the winner in

a two horse race. He has the Bad Luck Hindrance.

If you feel really unlucky, you can take the

Hindrance again.

Three: You picked up an Enemy (like the

Major Hindrance) at some point.

Four: There’s somebody else out there with

your face! She’s not a very nice person, and is

sullying your reputation wherever she’s been.

Have the Marshal draw a card whenever you

visit a town or city. If he draws a face card, she’s

been there before you and your name is dirt. You

get -2 to Charisma so long as you stay in town. If

the Marshal draws a Joker, you’re Wanted.

Five: You’ve got a family member who makes a

semi-regular appearance in the game. Did you say

your family all died? Well, isn’t that interesting?

The Marshal should create a Novice character.

Six: Everytime dangers rears its ugly head,

you get a tingling down your spine, like there’s

a spider crawling on your skin. You’ve got the

Danger Sense Edge. If you already bought this,

the modifier to your Notice rolls is reduced to

zero.

Seven: Your character has some pretty

significant blackouts. Long stretches of time are

gone. It could be from the bottle, or the horrors

of war. You have no memory of what happens to

you during this blackouts.

Eight: A pact between your ancestors and

Howdy partner. First grab yourself a regular

deck of playing cards with the Jokers left in.

That’s right, hombre, the Jokers are useful.

Next deal yourself seven cards. Take a peek at

them, then chuck one away. The only cards you

can’t chuck are deuces and Jokers. You’re stuck

with those.

Assign the six cards you’ve got left to your five

attributes and your skill point pool. You don’t

have to assign the cards in the order you dealt

them. If you want to be the strongest cowpoke in

the Weird West, stick your best card in Strength,

amigo.

Once you’ve assigned the cards, take a quick

peak at the table below. This tells you what die

you get in your attributes and how many starting

skill points you end up with based on the card

you assigned.

Savage Worlds, Deadlands, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, Great White Games, and all related marks and logos are

the spirits (just don’t ask which ones) has given you

a nice heirloom. Gain one Harrowed power of your

choice.

Nine: Somebody with some degree of power owes

you a favor. This is a significant favor that you can

trade in at any time. Assuming, you can contact the

person of course. Treat this as the Connection Edge.

You get +4 to Persuasion rolls when trying to contact

this person or call in the favor.

Ten: Animals either love you or hate you. If you

drew a red Ten, you get the Beast Master Edge for

free. If you drew a black Ten, then animals hate you

and growl, hiss or make all sorts of noise when you

are around. These critters will attack you with the

least bit of provocation.

Back with a vengeance!

Jack: One of your family members died and left

you something. Depending on the suit drawn it could

be a good thing or not. Have your Marshal draw

a card for you. If it is red, than the inheritance is

something worthwhile. Otherwise it is more trouble

than its worth. Regardless, to claim your inheritance

you’ll need to recover it, and that’s an adventure to

be sure.

OUT NOW!

Queen: You have attracted the spirit of something.

It is constantly around you, silently tormenting you.

You gain the Night Terrors Hindrance, but you do

get a +2 bonus to any Intimidation rolls. It will take

a quest to rid yourself of this haunting.

West. We think you’ll get a

Savage Worlds settings.

King: You have acquired a powerful relic: a modern

day Excalibur or Horn of Roland. Have the Marshal

draw a card for you. A red card means that the relic

is a power for good, the black is in the employ of the

Reckoners. The Marshal gets to pick or design a relic

of his choice. Regardless, this relic is known and you

can expect others to come looking for it. Cursed relics

require a quest (or your death) to be rid of.

Ace: Something odd happened to your character.

Perhaps you were captured by cultists who when

trying to sacrifice you imbued with some power.

Regardless, you now have a power. Pick one Novice

ranked Power. You can cast this once per day. Use

your Smarts as your arcane skill die and you get 5

Power Points to use this power.

If you end up being one of them spellslinger types,

you can’t use these Power Points for other powers,

but you can use your other Power Points to cast this

strange power.

Joker: You died, and didn’t know it. You are

Harrowed. Have the Marshall draw a card. On a

red card you have +1 to your Dominion, on a black

card the Manitou has +1 Dominion. Enjoy the ride,

amigo.
