Deadlands: The Abominable Northwest Tramples Kickstarter Goal in Minutes

Oct 1, 2024

Pinnacle Entertainment Group has launched a new Kickstarter for their Deadlands setting for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition RPG. The Abominable Northwest is a trail guide focusing on the Pacific Northwest. The project trampled its funding goal in minutes and there are a variety of pledge levels. Grab the hardcover setting book (with PDF) for a $40.00 pledge. You can also score the Carnage in the Cascades plot point campaign box set (with PDFs) for a $40.00 pledge or go all in and grab everything on offer for the Northwest – including a graphic novel – for a $120.00 pledge through October 24th with an expected delivery next August.

About the project:

So what’s this new 212-page tome all about? Trek over the snow-capped mountains of the Idaho Territory searching for funds, fun, and fundaments, but was that the wind or something far more terrifying? Ride the Oregon Trail, where dysentery is now the least of everyone’s problems. Do some logging in the great state of Washington (if the sasquatch let you) or ride the Iron Dragon to gloomy Seattle—assuming it’s still standing!

And that’s just the start! We also have new Savage Tales, critters, locations, relics, and more you’ll discover inside:

Over 40 new foes to face and cryptids to cross
A deep dive into the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington of the Weird West and the towns and notable locations therein
Over 30 new Savage Tales tied to all these deadly locales
To tie it all together we also have Shane Hensley’s Carnage in the Cascades boxed set, a full campaign exploring the nightmares stalking Seattle and the horrors brewing in the snowy mountains nearby.

The Twilight Legion needs heroes to test a device that measures fear—the “phobometer!” The whole Pacific Northwest is close to becoming a Deadland—and only the posse has the grit to stop it from happening. Carnage in the Cascades provides more monsters, more pawns, more maps, and a passel of props to help bring the game to life! Paired with the Abominable Northwest your Weird West just got a whole lot bigger!

A full Plot Point Campaign by Shane Hensley
NPC cards for all the major players
Pawns for enemies and maps of important locations
What’s a “phobometer?” You’ll find out, plus there’s one in the box to boot!
