Deadlands: The Weird West - Core Rules 2026 - PDF

Welcome to the Weird, Wild West!

The year is 1884, but the history is not our own. Evil grows in the wide-open spaces of the West. Some say there are more than just wild creatures on those lonely trails. Some say there are monsters, creatures born of the darkest fears given life by some insidious and overwhelming evil. Out here night seems a little darker, the distance between towns a little farther, and something twists the very landscape itself.

Such tough times also create great heroes, rising across the West to fight evil’s cold grip with a trusty six-gun, sacred tomahawk, holy miracle, or arcane hex. Think you’ve got what it takes to join ’em, amigo?

Deadlands™ is the premier Weird Western roleplaying game of action-packed horror. It includes all the rules you need play, plus 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!) and opens the door for future bestiaries just like we've done with Pathfinder for Savage Worlds!
