Next Monday in the SavageUniverse Next Monday, August 24th, get ready for another Fast, Furious, and FUN journey into the heart of the SavageUniverse!

📺 Monday night starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, host J-M DeFoggi is joined by Travis Legge of Aegis Studios to discuss the recent release of the Scarred Lands Player’s Guide for Savage Worlds. The Scarred Lands Player’s Guide, an impressive, full-color, 408 page volume is now available in both PDF and print-on-demand through DriveThruRPG.

Find Savage Worlds livestreams like this each and every week on our official Twitch and YouTube channels.

Licensee Spotlight: Scarred Lands Player’s Guide for Savage Worlds Coming in at an astounding 408 pages, the Scarred Lands Player's Guide for Savage Worlds from Aegis Studios (licensed from Onyx Path Publishing) is now available in both PDF and print-on-demand, color softcover through DriveThruRPG!


Drawing enthusiastically on Greek mythology, Scarred Lands offers a world shaped by gods and monsters. Only the greatest of heroes can expect to be counted among them. The Divine War left the world of Scarn ravaged. From the battle-scarred continent of Ghelspad to the desert wastelands of Asherak, the wounds of war still fester. The jungles of Termana are corrupted by titanic influence. The Blood Sea is tinted red because the titan Kadum lies bleeding at the ocean floor. The Dragon Lands and the frozen north of Fenrilik were spared the worst of the Titanswar, yet these lands carry their own perils.

The myths of the Scarred Lands are recent events. The gods rose up and defeated the titans in living memory. The effects of the Titanswar still ripple through the world, and some heroines and villains of these stories still walk among the living. 


The Scarred Lands Player’s Guide contains everything you need to create your own campaign set on the world of Scarn:

  • More than 40 playable ancestries.
  • 50 Culture Packages to help tie your character to the world of Scarn.
  • New Arcane Backgrounds, Edges, Hindrances, Powers, and more.
  • Detailed information on the world of Scarn including all five great lands, the gods, demigods, and titans, all in one volume.

Visit DriveThruRPG to purchase your copy of the Scarred Lands Player’s Guide today.

The Scarred Lands have come to Savage Worlds! ⚔️

Brave the Maze in Our Latest Kickstarter for Deadlands: The Weird West NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!

Quakes. Floods. Famine. Fortune.

The Weird West’s most formidable frontier is calling!

From the shattered waterways of the Great Maze to the lonely trails of Donner Pass and Death Valley, California remains a land transformed by disaster, greed, and unrelenting FEAR. Vast veins of the mysterious superfuel known as ghost rock lie hidden beneath the ruins, ruthless barons vie for control of the railroads, and living nightmares stalk the shadowy spaces between isolated settlements.

As we continue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Deadlands: The Weird West, this Kickstarter brings the legendary Maze to Savage Worlds Adventure Edition with an all-new campaign collection featuring:

💀 The Mysterious Maze
A massive regional sourcebook packed with new locations, Savage Tales, monsters, cryptids, relics, and dark secrets from across California and the Great Maze. Old-school Deadlands™ players who might recall our original source material for the Great Maze from back in the day will find a wealth of all-new information here to bring the fractured coast up to date in the Weird West. ⛏️

💀 Curse of the Maze Queen
A full Plot Point Campaign boxed set where heroes board the luxurious paddle-wheeler Maze Queen to compete for the most valuable—and most cursed—gemstone in the Weird West. 💎

💀 Red Tide
A deadly campaign for Veteran heroes that pits the Twilight Legion against the most infamous bloodsucker in history. The one and only Dracula has arrived in the Weird West! And if the posse can’t stop him, the entire Pacific Coast may drown beneath a crimson tide. 🦇

Saddle up and ride over to the Kickstarter page right now to pledge your support for this all-new Savage Worlds sourcebook, epic adventure, and boxed campaign set for Deadlands: The Weird West.

We look forward to meeting up out in the Maze, amigos! #bravethemaze

Licensee Spotlight: Savage War Journal from Marshal Games Now available from Ace licensee, Marshal Games, Savage War Journal is a 37-page solo roleplaying experience for Savage Worlds set in the brutal, human, and deeply personal world of Savage War.

You take command of a single crew, a single vehicle, or a single soldier fighting through the largest conflict the world has ever known — and you chronicle their story one mission at a time.

This isn’t a tactical simulator. This isn’t a wargame. This is your war diary.

You’ll track Stress, Bonds, damage, loss, hope, and the small victories that keep your crew alive. Every mission becomes a chapter. Every decision becomes a scar. Every entry becomes a piece of living history.

Savage War Journal is designed for fast play, emotional depth, and authentic WWII tone — built from the same foundation as Savage War but crafted specifically for solo storytelling.

Savage War Journal gives you a way to experience WWII storytelling with the same authenticity, grit, and humanity that defines Savage War — but through the eyes of a single crew fighting to survive.

It’s not about winning the war.

It’s about telling the story of the people who fought it.

Find Savage War Journal at DriveThruRPG and RPG Trader for just $3.00 USD!

“Keep Calm and Carry On.”

Savage Worlds, Deadlands, and More at Gen Con 2026! And just like that, despite the flooding and repeated tornado warnings we all experienced on Saturday, Gen Con 2026 has officially sailed off into the sunset and Pinnacle Entertainment Group was there celebrating “the Best Four Days in Gaming™!” 🎲

If you were able to attend this year’s convention, then you already know what a “Fast, Furious, and FUN time it was for fans of Savage Worlds!

Not only were there over 80 sold out Savage Worlds events on the convention schedule, our Saturday Pinnacle Panel drew a large and engaged group of fans! During the panel, Shane Hensley, Simon Lucas, Darrell Hayhurst, Clint Black, and Scott Woodard discussed a number of projects including our imminent Deadlands Kickstarter that brings the legendary Maze to Savage Worlds Adventure Edition with an all-new campaign collection! This launches next Tuesday (August 11th), so be sure to sign up today to be notified the moment we begin boarding the legendary Maze Queen!

There was also discussion of Kingmaker, the next epic adventure path for Pathfinder® for Savage Worlds as well as Final Reckoning for Deadlands: Lost Colony, a Rifts® for Savage Worlds sourcebook covering Australia, China, and Japan, a deluxe, fully-updated and slipcased collection of our four classic Reckoner campaigns for Deadlands (The Flood, The Last Sons, Stone and a Hard Place, and Good Intentions), and an adventure for Deadlands Dark Ages tentatively titled… DAGON! 🐟

And as we’re all celebrating the 30th anniversary of Deadlands this year (the world first got their mitts on copies at Gen Con ’96, by the way), there was also talk of our upcoming face-to-face hoedown in Phoenix, Arizona! As I write this, there are just 22 tickets left for this incredible event, so if you’d like to join us for some “Deadlands in the Desert,” you can find all the deets here and purchase your tickets today! Event signups are set to open this Thursday, August 6th beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern!

Additionally, our pals with Pine Box Entertainment were also on hand running Doomtown tourneys and demos of their upcoming cooperative and expandable card game, Deadlands: Legends of the Weird West. They also threw a couple fun offsite gatherings including one where a cake was cut in celebration of their remarkable 10th anniversary. Congrats to them!

As always, the sprawling, centrally-located Studio 2 Publishing area was where you could find any and all Savage Worlds goodies during the show (including a few new releases from some of our Ace licensees). We hear that they sold out of Rifts® for Savage Worlds: Europa during the show, so we hope everyone who grabbed a copy there enjoys the absolute HECK out of it!

We hope to see you ALL back in Indianapolis in 2027!

Now On Foundry VTT – Rifts® for Savage Worlds: Europa Virtual Box Set Beyond Atlantis and her Demon Seas lies Europe and the Mediterranean.

Most of the continent is a monster haunted hinterland. At its heart, the New German Republic stands as a reminder of everything humanity has lost. New Camelot, Nova Roma, Tarnow, and the Sovietski all claw their way into a new dawn.

Gargoyle Emperor Zerstrun, Pharaoh Rama-Set, Bres the Beautiful, and the Angel of Death all plot to dominate the continent. Though each pose a unique threat, they all pale compared to Struwwelpeter–a nightmare from Earth’s ancient past returned home.

To keep hope alive, our heroes must deploy cutting edge power armor, upgrade themselves with Golden Age cybernetics, discover the secrets of temporal magic, and befriend the enigmatic Millenium Trees.


The Rifts® for Savage Worlds Europa Virtual Box Set explores the British Isles, the New German Republic, Neo Rome, the Phoenix Empire, the Brodkil Empire, the Gargoyle Empire, the Free Scandinavian Alliance, the Russian Frontier, and everything in between, including new character options and plenty of new gear found across the continent.

  • Wield powerful new mystical arts like Temporal Magic and Herbalist Druid Magic.
  • Upgrade your Combat Cyborg with new Edges and gear from the Russian Frontier.
  • Play long-time favorite character options like the Chiang-Ku Dragon Hatchling and Temporal Wizard.
  • Get immersed with two Europa themed battle maps.
  • Contains two complete books with cross-linked and styled journals.
  • Use drag and drop features to build new heroes or use one of six pre-generated archetypes.

HERE BE DRAGONS!

This new module requires Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and the Rifts® Tomorrow Legion Players Guide. Please direct all module support questions to MetaMorphic Digital Studio – Support Portal.

SWAG Spotlight: Adventures of El Cuervo Rojo for Savage Worlds We love seeing what our incredibly talented SWAG creators are doing with Savage Worlds and Adventures of El Cuervo Rojo from Jakub Osiejewski is definitely worth a look!

Alejandro Almeida—thief, assassin, half-blood, and true hero—spent his life protecting the people of San Sebastián as the masked vigilante, El Cuervo Rojo. Across a dozen books, he battled undead pirates, corrupt soldiers, terrifying monsters, fascists, and nameless cosmic horrors. He died, returned, and died again.

Now, he’s gone for good.

But the fight doesn’t end with him. He left behind a legendary legacy—and a mountain of unfinished business.

Adventures of El Cuervo Rojo is a campaign setting that blends classic pulp “masked hero” swashbuckling with dark cosmic horror. Set in the fictional world of Terra on the continent of Esplanada, this book lets you join the Hijos del Cuervo—the Children of the Raven. You didn’t inherit his iconic mask; you inherited his purpose: to defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Inside this 222-page PDF, you’ll find:

  • The Continent of Esplanada: Explore highly detailed locations, from the rebellious pueblo of San Sebastián and the colonial capital of San Marco, to the lawless pirate haven of Port Libre and the haunted island of Primavera.
  • Elite Fencing Schools: Master unique combat styles, including the agile Floreo style, the mathematically precise Destreza, or the devastating Lengyan Cross Saber.

Explore the Great Maze in Our Next Big Kickstarter for Deadlands: The Weird West Book passage aboard the magnificent Maze Queen in our next epic Kickstarter campaign for Deadlands: The Weird West!

Our year-long Deadlands™ 30th Anniversary extravaganza continues with a trio of Weird West thrills and California chills launching on Kickstarter next Tuesday, July 21st!

From the shattered waterways of the Great Maze to the lonely trails of Donner Pass and Death Valley, California remains a land transformed by disaster, greed, and fear.

Our upcoming Kickstarter brings the legendary Maze to Savage Worlds Adventure Edition with an all-new campaign collection featuring:

  • The Mysterious Maze
    A massive regional sourcebook packed with new locations, Savage Tales, monsters, cryptids, relics, and dark secrets from across California and the Great Maze.
  • Curse of the Maze Queen
    A full Plot Point Campaign boxed set where heroes board the luxurious paddle-wheeler Maze Queen to compete for the most valuable—and most cursed—gemstone in the Weird West.
  • Red Tide
    A deadly campaign for Veteran heroes that pits the Twilight Legion against the most infamous vampire in history. Dracula has arrived in the Weird West and if the posse can’t stop him, the Pacific Coast may drown beneath a crimson tide.

East Texas University: Fresh Blood PDFs NOW Available Attention Students of East Texas University!

Thanks to your quick and thorough review of our draft documents, all edits have been compiled and Kickstarter backers should have now received updated files to their PEGINC and DriveThruRPG accounts. Additionally, PDFs of East Texas University: Fresh Blood for Savage Worlds and the East Texas University: Chickens in the Mist Graphic Novel are now available to everyone through our site and DTRPG!

🎓 East Texas University: Fresh Blood

East Texas University and the small town of Pinebox, Texas (also home to Pinebox Middle School) have been the epicenter of supernatural disturbances for generations. But nobody really believes in that stuff, so students still flock to ETU thanks to generous scholarships, prestigious courses, and the active social scene… even if not everyone survives their college experience.

In East Texas University: Fresh Blood, you are an unsung campus hero investigating the local mysteries, monsters, and mayhem everyone else refuses to acknowledge.

You can expect a full class schedule of adventure, with all-new Savage Tales, a new Adventure Generator, and a new eight-semester Plot Point Campaign. You’ll have enough coursework to carry you through graduation, or right on into Legendary—er, Grad School—if you can’t escape the halls of education. Enroll at your own risk!

🐔 East Texas University: Chickens in the Mist Graphic Novel

The O’Conner brothers own and operate a small chicken farm in the hinterlands near Pinebox, Texas. Rumors of illegal bloodsport bring a study group of friends from East Texas University to investigate, and what the find is a horror beyond imagination—involving chickens. Five curious students enter the O’Conner farm. Will any escape alive?

This special graphic novel brings one of the most famous (and dangerous) adventures from East Texas University onto the comic page in all its bloody glory. Written by the original creators (Craig Largent, Preston DuBose, Ed Wetterman) with spectacular art by Ariel Medel and dramatic colors by Paul Little.

If you’ve played the adventure you know the terror and laughs lurking inside. If you haven’t, the original adventure for East Texas University is included, with rules updated for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and a few notes to help fit Chickens in the Mist into your existing ETU campaign or use it as a deadly one-shot adventure when your group needs a break from the ordinary.

Study. Party. Fight Evil! 📚🥳👊💀

In Memoriam: Aaron “Ace” Acevedo On Saturday, July 4th, our great friend and colleague, Aaron Acevedo passed away peacefully, surrounded by loving family and friends.

Back in May, Aaron’s brother Ben set up a gofundme to help cover expenses for treatments and hospital stays. As of now, that gofundme remains open and you are all welcome to donate, comment, and share your stories of Aaron there.

A few days ago, our own Shane Hensley took to Facebook and posted the following in Aaron’s memory:

It seems the news is public now that our Art Director, partner, and good friend of over 20 years, Aaron Acevedo, passed last Saturday. He was surrounded by his family in his final moments and went easily after his long suffering.

We already miss his calm guidance, artful touch, and true and never wavering friendship.

All our love to Aaron’s parents. You raised a wonderful human being. Aaron especially loved his mother’s food and talking about comics with his dad… we discussed it often. I don’t know his other brothers or sister, but Ben Acevedo was by Aaron’s side every step of the way, going above and beyond to make him comfortable and keep Sigil Entertainment moving forward.

Our little company has lost two members of our “family” this year with our beloved Jodi Black leaving us in May. It’s been hard and we’re sad but we’re carrying on… not just as they would want us to but in both cases literally told us to… trying our best to bring face to face, social fun to the world, creating what we hope are engaging, immersive worlds that will last long after we are gone, and treating our little community like family.

Live every day, friends. And think of Jodi the next time you Crit Fail and embrace it… and Aaron the next time you look at a piece of art that inspires you and makes you want to dive into some amazing world.

Rest in peace, Aaron. Love you, buddy and am so glad I got to work with you for over two decades.

A joint internment ceremony for Aaron and Jeannine will likely take place on August 15th. As many of Aaron’s friends and loved ones live all over the country, as well as overseas, the family is planning to livestream the ceremony for anyone unable to attend in person. Be sure to keep an eye on the gofundme page for additional details.

PEG Names Simon Lucas as Chief Operating Officer Back in early 2025, our former Chief Operating Officer, Jodi Black, stepped aside to become Pinnacle Entertainment Group‘s Lead Editor. In response to this, PEG Vice President, Simon Lucas took on the lion’ share of Jodi’s previous responsibilities with the assistance of both Chris Landauer and Darrell Hayhurst.

Now, as of the beginning of this month, Simon has officially taken up the mantle of COO and we could not be happier!

“It’s not going to be easy stepping into Jodi’s shoes,” said Simon, “But I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue her work, building on the great foundation she established. I’m excited to continue supporting our team and ensuring our customers remain at the center of everything we do.”

“Simon is the steady hand that keeps the ship moving through rough waters. He’s managed and elevated our production for years and is now expanding his leadership to the rest of our operations as well.” PEG CEO Shane Hensley said.

Congratulations to Simon Lucas in his new role as Chief Operating Officer for Pinnacle!

Deadlands: The Weird West in Hungarian! At long last, the Hungarian edition of Deadlands: The Weird West (Deadlands: A nagyon vad nyugat) is ready to order from Delta Vision with a street date of July 22nd! 💀


Dust-choked streets. Legends written in blood. Whispers from beyond the grave. Six-shooters cracking beneath the dying sun with the sound of judgment itself. In the Weird West, courage is cheap, luck runs dry, and there are things out there no quick hand, pure heart, or righteous prayer can always save you from.

In the world of Deadlands, a duel is sometimes only the beginning of the story.

Graves do not always stay closed. Darkness may hide behind a preacher’s prayer. Mad science can break loose like a wild horse with fire in its eyes. And in a single hand of cards, you may wager far more than money, honor, or even your life.

The rules are fast, cinematic, and dangerous: exploding dice, Bennies, Wild Cards, duels, chases, fate-turning cards, and those breathless moments when one bullet, one prayer, or one reckless decision stands between a hero and the coffin.

Or something worse.

But listen well, wanderer: Deadlands is not a standalone rulebook. To play, you will also need the Savage Worlds Core Rulebook. That book provides the bones of the system. Deadlands gives it the hat, the spurs, the coffin nail, the stink of gunpowder, and that cold shiver that makes even the hardest gunslinger cross himself before stepping into an abandoned church.

So load your cylinder. Dust off your hat. And listen carefully when the Marshal speaks.

The Weird West is waiting.

Order your copy of Deadlands: A nagyon vad nyugat today!

Prepare for a Triple-Threat of Deadlands: The Weird West on Kickstarter The next big Kickstarter campaign for Deadlands: The Weird West rides into town in just three short weeks!

Our year-long Deadlands™ 30th Anniversary extravaganza continues with a triple-threat of Weird West thrills and chills launching on Kickstarter Tuesday July 14th!

Our Trail Guides series has already filled in a couple blank spaces with Hell on the High Plains and The Abominable Northwest, and now it continues the journey into The Mysterious Maze!

This sourcebook has everything you need to know about the locations, people, and events surrounding California and the crumbled coastline now known as the Great Maze. It’s also joined by not one, but TWO thrilling Plot Point Campaigns set within that perilous region: The Curse of the Maze Queen and Shane Hensley’s Red Tide!

The Curse of the Maze Queen is a boxed set adventure following the poker tournament of the century aboard a stately riverboat in the perilous waters of the Maze. Whether the posse is there to play for the grand prize, protect it from low-down varmints, or take it for themselves the Maze Queen is the place to be! 🃏

Red Tide is an adventure book by Deadlands™ maestro Shane Hensley telling the blood soaked saga of the one-and-only Dracula’s journey into the Weird West. The legendary Count has the Twilight Legion in his sights, and it’s going to take the best of the West and some serious luck to stop his evil plan! 🦇

Visit the Kickstarter page right now and sign up to be notified the moment it goes live.

We’ll have lots more information about this imminent campaign coming your way soon, so keep your peepers on this space, amigos!

Monday Night in the SavageUniverse Next week, get ready for a cosmic surge of Fast, Furious, and FUN media over on our official Twitch channel with another exciting trek into the swirling heart of the SavageUniverse!

📺 On Monday, June 29th starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, J-M is joined by Tracy Sizemore of Ace licensee, Ede Sol Games and JohnDoom (7th KindGarden Gnome Massacre) for a chat about their upcoming adventure, The Lost Waltz for The Han Cluster for Savage Worlds:

When things go wrong in space, sometimes all you can do is survive…

Ships have been going missing in the Han Cluster with increasing regularity. Transponder and draxel communication signals disappear and searches in the areas reveal nothing. Once a ship goes completely dark, the expansiveness of space makes it extremely difficult to find. Due to the increasing unrest in human space due to the Blinding, the Vivid heroes are among the only few left with the wherewithal to investigate. What they find could not only offer an explanation, but it could unmask one of the most mysterious and quietly deadly monsters of the Blinding–if they survive….

The Lost Waltz is a challenging adventure for the Han Cluster Sci-Fi RPG written by veteran Savage Worlds author, John Doom. It’s designed for Veteran characters and above and takes place during the late stages of the Blinding, when the Base Shift Intensity reaches level 3 or higher.

Licensee Spotlight: The Ruin 2nd Edition for Savage Worlds on Kickstarter ATTENTION SURVIVORS!

This is the FINAL WEEK on Kickstarter for The Ruin 2nd Edition for Savage Worlds from Ace licensee Broken Rat Games (Savage Ghost Ops Second Strike)! The Ruin is a dark and gritty post-apocalyptic RPG that takes you and your survivors into a world destroyed, a place where survival is a struggle, where every decision you make could be their last, where every encounter could end in death, and around every corner could be danger, horror, or salvation. The game is a journey across a blasted land, seeking safety, revenge, loved ones, or just enough food to last another day.

The Ruin 2nd Edition is fully updated from the original edition, adding new elements like travelling rules for crossing the wasteland, a classless survivor creation system where who you were and what you did before the fall matters. A new crafting system, and new and more organic combat encounters. This new edition is about survival and will test your decision making and knowledge to keep your survivor alive.

Those of you that bought the original The Ruin RPG will probably be wondering what has changed so here is a breakdown:

☢️ New Artwork
☢️ Fully converted for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition
☢️ Grittier Setting
☢️ New Layout
☢️ New Survivor Creation Rules

The Ruin 2nd Edition comes in three books (The Ruin 2nd Edition Core Book, The Ruin Darklands Setting, The Ruin Wasteland Setting), and with your pledge you will receive each of these volumes.

New Super Powered Savage Worlds Actual Play on Twitch If you’re looking to add a new super powered Savage Worlds actual play to your regular viewing schedule, get ready to ride along with the Cybernation Uncensored crew and their new series, Capes & Controversies!

The world loves superheroes.

They fill stadiums. They sell energy drinks. They trend on social media. Their faces stare down from billboards, movie screens, cereal boxes, and campaign ads. Millions follow their every post. Millions more would die for a chance to become them.

They’re icons… or at least, that’s the story.

Because behind every carefully managed public image is a human being. Behind every triumphant rescue is a PR team. Behind every smiling interview is a contract, a scandal, a secret, an addiction, a lawsuit, a cover-up, or a desperate attempt to stay relevant for *one more week*.

Powers make you famous. Fame makes you wealthy. And wealth makes you *dangerous*.

Tonight, you’ll step into a society where heroes are brands, villains are opportunities, and the truth is whatever survives the next news cycle. You’ll witness the world of celebrity feuds, corporate sponsorships, media manipulation, political influence, and the crushing pressure of living under a spotlight that *never turns off*.

Some heroes are genuine, some are monsters, most are something in between.

This is not a story about saving the world. The world was already saved years ago. This is a story about what happens after.

Welcome to Capes & Controversies.

Watch your back. Watch the cameras. And whatever you do—

Don’t get caught.

Capes & Controversies premieres Sunday, June 21st at 8 p.m. Eastern / 5 p.m. Pacific only on Twitch!

Deadlands: The Weird West 30th Anniversary PDFs Now Available! Howdy Buckaroos!

We’re excited to announce that the two core PDFs for our recent Deadlands™ 30th Anniversary Celebration Kickstarter campaign (Deadlands: the Weird West – Core Rules 2026 and Deadlands: The Weird West – Rascals, Varmints, & Relics) along with our new Power Card Collection are now all available for purchase in our online store!

💀 Deadlands: The Weird West is the premier Weird Western roleplaying game of action-packed horror! The 2026 Core Rules includes all the rules you need to play, plus all the Edges, gear, infernal devices, and powers players need to blast the tarnation out of those creepy crawlies.

For the Marshal there’s a comprehensive overview of the Weird West and enough rascals, varmints, and critters to keep a posse busy! Putting all this into a new book keeps the core at a manageable size (332 amazing pages), all for just $19.99 USD!

Note that the Deadlands: the Weird West – Core Rules 2026 version is the new default rule book going forward and remember that the updated SWADE rules are included in this mighty 330+ page tome making it ideal for brave new visitors to the Weird West!

💀 Also priced at $19.99 USD, our new bestiary, Rascals, Varmints, & Relics, includes all the additional creatures from the previous Deadlands™ setting book and updated profiles for important characters from the now out-of-print Deadlands Companion.

Also included are updated profiles for the Servitors (even those the posse may have dealt with in the Servitor series of adventures), and all the Relics from the previous Deadlands™ setting book.

💀 The new Power Card Collection contains reference card sets for ALL the Arcane Backgrounds found in Deadlands™. This includes the blessed, chi master, huckster, mad scientist, shaman, voodooist, and witch! You get a set of custom cards for EACH of these character types, all on their own beautifully designed graphic background! These large format cards are designed for use with Deadlands: the Weird West.

There are over 200 cards in total, describing the Rank, effects, Range, Power Point cost, and Duration for each Power.

⭐ For those who backed the original Kickstarter and need to lock in their orders (or add a few extras to their loot), the Pledge Manager is LIVE right now!

Please note that all customers who had the digital version of Deadlands™ core before have been given access to the new 2026 core on our old site (new site file permissions is upcoming). If you don’t already have it, please ping info@peginc.com and we’ll help you out.

Thanks for Helping Our ETU: Fresh Blood Kickstarter Campaign Thanks to your enthusiastic support and willingness to spread the good word about our East Texas University: Fresh Blood Kickstarter campaign, you helped us to one heck of a phenomenal finish last week, just in time for graduation day! 🎓

Whether you’ve been with ETU since the OG Kickstarter way back in 2014, joined us for Study Abroad, survived Pinebox Middle School, or you’re enrolling for the very first time, thank you for showing support and love for this wonderfully weird corner of the Savage Worlds universe!

If this is your first Kickstarter, the next few weeks will be pretty chill. We’ll be focusing on some final playtesting, editing, and layout while waiting for Kickstarter to collect pledges. Until the funds are deposited from Kickstarter, we cannot deliver anything.

If you haven’t already, please make an account using your Kickstarter email at shop.peginc.com, or if you already have an account using a different email, shoot us a reminder of your Kickstarter email and your Shopify/PEG email so we can link your pledge to your PEG account.

We’ll post an Update on the Kickstarter once the pledge manager is live and when we have the first PDF ready to deliver. Be sure to watch your email for Kickstarter notifications or just keep checking back on the campaign page.

If you have any questions during the next few weeks, please email info@peginc.com. We’ll keep checking Kickstarter comments and messages, but emailing customer service is the fastest way to reach us.

Once again, thank you for helping us make this campaign such a success!

Class dismissed!
