About the box set:
Deadlands. The original Weird West roleplaying game. The name itself conjures scenes of drifters shooting it out with unliving horrors across the dusty plains of the American West. Twenty five years ago one famous adventure encapsulated this promise so completely it became legend itself: John Goff’s Night Train.
The Night Train lurks along the tracks of the West, pulling in after dark to unleash its hellish cargo of starving, feral vampires on unsuspecting towns along the rails. For decades, Night Train has terrorized tabletops and conventions. What will you do when its deathly whistle blows? Can your posse survive the onslaught? Many others have tried—and failed!
The Night Train 25th Anniversary Boxed Set contains:
- A 72 page softcover BOOK with the original Night Train (using the Savage Worlds rules for the first time ever), its SEQUEL For Whom the Whistle Blows, an all NEW adventure, The Bank Job, from the master himself, and a special afterword featuring JOHN GOFF’S NOTES and convention recollections celebrating this legendary expedition into the blood-soaked rails of Varney Flats.
- Maximum quality PAWNS, illustrated front AND back on heavy, laminated cardboard AND individually die-cut to the figure’s specific shape! You’ll have an army of creepy bloodsuckers, the innocent townsfolk they want to feed on, the villains trying to capitalize on the carnage, and the hellish Night Train itself so its locomotive and cars can roll down the tracks of any Deadlands battle map…or get combined with other train cars as we add them!
- Two double-sided fold out COMBAT MAPS, featuring the three rail towns from the adventure and a connecting spur where a posse could catch up to the train (or where the villains might camp to admire their handiwork). The maps are wet and dry eraser friendly, and can be placed side to side to make new towns or extend the rails for even MORE carnage!
- Six dangerous new ARCHETYPES to send to the slaughter!
- Ten Toe Tags to fill in and show off if the posse ends up in Boot Hill!
- Four WANTED POSTERS. The towns along the rails have plenty going on before the mythical Night Train makes its fateful stops. Law dogs have a chance to collect bounties or see justice catches up to these outlaws, one way or another.
- A special commemorative WILD DIE, featuring a locomotive themed six face for Acing.
