Deadlands: Blood Drive Adventure Enters Final Days on Kickstarter

Dec 10, 2020

Pinnacle Entertainment is about to wrap a very successful Kickstarter for and adventure for the upcoming new edition of Deadlands. Blood Drive will take the player characters on a cattle drive across the bizarre and dangerous weird west. You can get aboard in print or digital starting at a $25.00 pledge or go all in for print, digital, and VTT assets for a $60.00 pledge through December 14th. The project is over 1700% funded and expected delivery is next May.

From Pinnacle:

The newest edition of the Deadlands: The Weird West roleplaying game (at the printer and shipping early 2021!) focuses on Wild Western tales of local horror, and what could be better than a good old-fashioned cattle drive from Hell!

This twisted tale takes a posse of hard-riding drovers and their Texas Longhorns from the rolling hills of Texas through swollen streams in Colorado, the mountain passes of New Mexico, the haunted prairies of Wyoming, and more! The weirdness escalates along the way, slowly exposing our heroes to the true horrors of the Weird West. So saddle up, partners, and join us on a Blood Drive!

The Blood Drive Campaign Book

This gorgeous, graphic-novel size hardback contains all you need to run this epic tale of intrigue, adventure, and exploration. The story takes our heroes from greenhorn cowpunchers to hardened trail hands, letting players take on the roles of regular cowboys and cowgirls or any mix of Deadlands’ unique character types.

Archetype Cards

Our Archetype Cards allow players to jump into Blood Drive or any other Deadlands game quickly. We gave you a passel of pregenerated characters in the original Deadlands Kickstarter, and Set 3 adds even more ready-to-play heroes and heroines to choose from!

Pawns

This project features three sheets of Deadlands Pawns containing a selection of characters and critters and brand new terrain pieces as well! (We’ll have art to show you soon, partners!)

We’ll supplement your maps with campfires, a chuck wagon, hangin’ trees, and other bits you’ll find useful for Blood Drive or your own outdoor adventures, all printed on thick, die-cut punchboard.

Beautifully illustrated front and back and easy to transport, Deadlands Pawns make your games come to life on the tabletop, especially when used with our gorgeous new map packs!

Infernal Device Cards

Mad Scientists in the Weird West harness the Hellish energy of the superfuel known as ghost rock to power their incredible gizmos. These quick reference cards grant convenient access to the most important information about six common infernal gadgets, adding to those already printed in the original boxed set.

Map Packs

Deadlands Map Packs are large, 30″ x 24″ double-sided laminated maps for use with miniatures or our Deadlands pawns. They’re marked with a light one inch grid, perfect for Savage Worlds. Map Pack 3: End of the Line features a train station, corner saloon, and other classic western buildings. Map Pack 4: Ambush Pass features wilderness terrain ideal for use in Blood Drive.

Our Kickstarter Boosters are smaller support projects for our existing lines. They come with Booster Rewards built-in rather than Stretch Goals. We’re definitely going to print them on our own no matter what and want you to know that up front, but are asking for your backing so we can order the right amount and most importantly, create the extras that add to the entire experience for all of us—like maps, pawns, and additional Archetype Cards. We play too, and we want all these goodies as much as we hope you do!
