(RPG PDF Spotlight) Deadlands Dark Ages

Deadlands Dark Ages

Savage Worlds Setting by Pinnacle Entertainment

The year is 877. The place is Britain, not as it was, but as its people thought it was. Danish raiders plunder the land. The last kingdom teeters on the edge of annihilation. It is a land steeped in terror, and that fear stirs the attention and ambition of ancient evils. Welcome to the Dark Ages, where shadows rule and the brave tread lightly. Enter… if you dare.

Morgan le Fay lives again. Her return, thanks to Mordred in the Wild West of 1884, sets off a shockwave that alters history and leaves behind a sinister connection between two different places and times. Deadlands® the Weird West explores what’s going on in 1884, but the events unfolding in 877 are shrouded in mystery. Until now. 

Deadlands® Dark Ages opens a new, early chapter in the Deadlands® Saga. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are newly born, taking shape from the collective nightmares of a ravaged population. The first known Harrowed emerge: slain men and women who rise from death with the “help” of a demon who comes along for the ride. Merlin distributes magic-infused six-shooters pilfered from the Weird West to his champions in the Dark Ages—special tools for special defenders.

This 244+ page PDF contains special character creation options, gear, setting rules, background information, an epic Plot Point Campaign, over a dozen Savage Tales, and a bestiary filled with medieval foes to battle. You need Savage Worlds to use all this gaming goodness, so if you don’t have it check out the Savage Worlds Player’s Book option below.

The moody, plague-ridden and Viking-infested shores of England have just the right combination of adventure and nightmare fuel for Deadlands®. Fighting monsters and zombies with swords, chainmail, and magic is just plain fun! Add Harrowed, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Arthurian Legends (with a twist), and you can see why we wanted to play this game. Now you can too!

Deadlands: Dark Ages requires the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition core rules to play.

Deadlands Dark Ages is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
