Sounds great! I haven't had the chance to play Deadlands before. I do have some experience playing using FG. Will we be using FGC or FGU?

[Mgrancey]

FGU though I have ultimate license so good either way.

Also please make sure to sign up on Calendar

Yup, I have FGU and FGC clients both, and I'm EST. I've signed up using the calendar.

[Dirk Starr]

Does the calendar adjust the time to my TZ or is it starting at 4pm EST?

EDIT: NM, figured it out. Applied

[james10872]

Have both FGC and FGU (both Ultimate) and a good amount of experience with the program. Very little experience with Savage Worlds, but ready to learn! Applied to be a player.

Thanks

[Pcuser]

[Pcuser]

@ Discord: Mgrancey#4994- Done shall i email the char XML or just show up at game time propose archetype = agent W/O any advances.

[Mgrancey]

I have all Archetypes for Deadlands, including the 3rd group. They will need downgraded back to starting level but the advances are listed in Notes for 3rd group

[Pcuser]

[Pcuser]

Sorry I ended up with a conflict this Friday daughter has a soccer game try again next time

[Mgrancey]

Not a problem, this is meant to be more open on attendance than usual campaigns. I am planning to focus on shorter ones or series of one shots and such. Any new or missing characters will simply be busy elsewhere for a session.

[james10872]

Is there a Discord to join? JamesDWG#1370

[Mgrancey]

Might have been screwed up by Daylight Savings time, server is up. Password on calendar page. Need to finish dishes real quick and will be on.

Server up, Look for Friday Night Fights Mgrancey

[james10872]

Had a blast playing last night. System is fun, players were fun and GMing was excellent.

[jackhemlock]

did we set up a discoard for the game ?

[kronovan]

I haven't played in a DL adventure in ages and the last time I pleyed iit was the Deadlands Reloaded edition. Anyhow, I'd like to play and I did put myself on the calendar, Being experienced with SW I'd like to build my own PC.


..experienced people can make character in savaged.us and ...
I'm not sure how I'd build a DL Weird West PC with that tool, as savaged.us only seems to allow for the creation of a PC with core SWADE options? I can see where that would work for the most part for DL:RL, but from what I see in the DL:WW test drive, the player options have changed quite a bit - I definitely don't recall an AB (Blessed) or AB (Hukster) in RL.
Does DL:WW support AB (Weird Science) and if so, is it close to that AB in core SWADE?
As well, does one of the savaged.us export options support importing into FGU?

Although I have SWD and SWADE for my FGU Ultimate license, I wasn't planning on buying the DL:WW DLC, or the PDF for that matter. Anyways, even without DL:WW, it seems I'd be better off just building a PC in an empty SWADE campaign, since I could then export it. Unless I missed something on that savaged.us site and there's indeed some way to enable DL:WW content/options for it?

[Mgrancey]

Oops, yeah they apparently don't have any DL stuff there. Important things to remember is that Guts is no longer a skill, they did make a skill called "Trade." Dueling is a little different. The big thing to remember is that the campaign is based around a Cattle Drive so you should make a character that can fit in. General rule of thumb I am going with this campaign is that you are part of the misc. cowhands going along. So if you play, you character is there; if you miss or drop, your character is an NPC cowhand doing other stuff.

Will try again see if anyone takes its.

OK, good to know and thanks for getting back to me. I think I'm going to just build a suitable PC in an empty SWADE campaign. If you could find the time to confirm that these novice edges are, or are no longer present in DL:WW, it'd be much appreciated;

COMBAT
Hip-Shooting
Martial Arts
Rebel Yell
Speed Load

SOCIAL
Card Sharp
True Grit

PROFESSIONAL
Scout
Snakeoil Salesman
Soldier
Tale Teller
Wilderness Man

the Weird Edge Knack

Knowing that, I can then just create the edges I want to use for my PC in my FG campaign. You already mentioned Duelist is different, so I'll try to build without it. Knowing that a drover PC is what's required, I'm not really planning on an AB PC.

[Edit] I'm not worried about difference in Hindrances, because SWADE added so many new, quality ones that I can't see finding something appropriate being a problem. And I'm assuming a Riding less than d6 is a bad idea - that a correct assumption?

[kronovan]

Hey Mgrancey,

Nevermind about confirming all those edges. I've built a PC, zipped it up and can get it to you if I know where to send to. As long as the Snakeoil Salesman edge is still there and hasn't changed much, my PC should be doable. And even if that edge isn't, it would only be a small adjustment to make my PC work.

[Mgrancey]

Snakeoil Salesman wasn't included but would probably be covered by "Charismatic." Tests themselves have been loosened up and will depend on what you do to perform that test. Trying to confuse or distract them would generally be resisted by Smarts, Initimidation would be Spirit generally. I have the Fast Tests extension but havent tried Perusasion to see what its automation does.

They did away with a lot of flat bonuses and instead offered free rerolls on Skills and such.

SWADE (pg 108) has Taunt as an example used and suggests it should be resisted by Smarts.

[Mgrancey]

Home and working on dinner. Should be starting on time roughly speaking

[Mgrancey]

Server is up but away from PC

[brooksjmark]

Are we game on for tomorrow night?

[Mgrancey]

nope, previously planned stuff. next time will be 2 weeks

[brooksjmark]

See you in 2 weeks then.

[Mgrancey]

Game on for Friday, for all those who get this. I forgot to have you do nightmare/worst fear

[Mgrancey]

Bump.

Got a lot of possibles but few votes for Friday. Sending a PM to everybody on calendar, but if interested starting Chapter 2 of Blood Drive if we have enough people.

[Mgrancey]

Bump. Hope to have enough people (Min 3 would like at least 4) for Friday night. Will be starting Chapter 2 "Head 'Em Up",

[Mgrancey]

Bump, hopefully playing tomorrow night
