Deadlands is quite the mixed bag. The mechanics are fun and the setting is a blast. However it is often a case of style over substance as many of those mechanics have major bugs to say the least. So of course, it's house rules riding to rescue in order to put things a bit more right. Each section here details the reason a change was desired as well as the new rules themselves.
In general the intent of the rules here were to provide an experience a little closer to that of western movies. The base rules are considered to be 2nd Edition. There is nothing here dealing directly with the D20 or Savage Worlds versions of Deadlands.
10/16/2005: We've started our Deadlands campaign back up after a couple year break. Many of the house rules have been updated and new ones added as a result.
