No thanks to Chudstar for dragging this back out of my mind! Since I started running Deadlands Blood Drive and am writing up a Deadlands: Weird Seas? (title keeps changing) recently; I considered how I run it as a GM.
Deadlands is obviously a Western Horror game (ignoring HoE, LC, Noir), you can argue whether its more Occult or Low Fantasy, and a little bit of Steampunk. Personally, I would argue that it is more Occult than Low Fantasy.
Personally, I tend to run Deadlands as a Pulpy Western Occult with a little horror. Weirdly enough I am not a horror fan, I am able to handle it a little better but still will stick to B-rated comedy ones when I do watch them. As an example I went with friends to watch Event Horizon when it came out, spent about 20 minutes in the theater out of the whole movie.
Anyways, now that I have put this out here, I am hoping it will clear from my mental logs.
