Deadlands

1879

Welcome to the Weird West – a land of miracle-workers and mad scientists, manitous and maze dragons, poker hands and Pinkertons, shamans and shootists.   The year is 1877. The Civil War rages on. Much of California has fallen into the sea. The Sioux Nation has reclaimed the Dakotas. A whole passel of dead folks walk the Earth, asdo stranger things. Jackalopes. Wendigos. Mojave rattlers. And that’s not mentioning the varmints that fly or swim. Just as well you’ve got God and the Great Spirit on your side, and a trusty Gatling pistol at your side.   GURPS Deadlands Page 3.
