This is probably one of the best role-playing games I have ever played and run. From the start you are put onto a world with endless possibilities and endless fun. The year is 2049 and the world has been devastated by a nuclear war but with a twist. You take on the role of a survivor, which can be anything from an Indian Brave to a Road Warrior to a Nuke totting radiation blasting Rad Priest! The system uses more than just dice! You have to have a poker deck and poker chips too. All to test your luck in the 'Wasted West' Buy it and try it - it's great fun!

Great Game to Play
5 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
Dead Lands: Hell on Earth is a great role playing game that takes place around the year 2199. It is a post apocalyptic rpg with much imagination put in to it. Battle the infamous gang the Black Hats or blow thr heads off of some Zombies. If you like the Mad Max movies or the Fall Out computer games this is an rpg you would like.

End of the world as they know it....
10 May 2001
Format:Hardcover
Well, like the above review says, it's a post-apocalyptic RPG, which expands upon the original Deadlands setting (and is set in the same timeline) The nukes have flown, the cities have been levelled, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are roaming America.
The characters are an interesting lot. You've got the expected ones such as the road warrior, mutants and neo-savages, but mixed in are some really exotic types, such as magicians who derive their power from nuclear energy, 'Junkers', the sucessors of the Mad Scientists, and the undead Harrowed from the original Deadlands are back as well. The system is essentially the same as the original game, so veterans of the first Deadlands will be able to jump right in. The system uses cards as well as dice, which might seem odd to newcomers, but which is quite easy to adapt to. The rulebook is well laid-out and helpful, so you won't spend too much time leafing through it to look up an obscure rule. A nice touch is the black humour and the spaghetti-western vocabulary used throughout, which sets the mood without being too obtrusive.
My only real complaint is that to use the game properly, you need a pack of cards and the ability to shuffle them, which is a disadvantage for klutzes like me. Some way to subsitute dice rolls for the cards would have be nice. Other than that, an excellent game, and worth a look.

This one's mislabled
1 May 2001
Format:Paperback
Actually, this book is the Adventure "Bloody ol' Muddy" for Deadlands: Weird West. It's a pretty fun one, takes place on the Mississippi, I think St. Louis. It's as good as any other Deadlands adventure. Hope this helps.
