So this weekend I finally gave in and ran a Deadlands game based on Ravenloft. A gothic southern mansion stood in for the castle, with retired Colonel Stewart Kingson taking the place of the good count.
All in all very entertaining. In the conversion, I think I made Strahd a teeny bit too weak, which I may tweak if I ever run it again.

Did he look like he normally does or did he have white hair and a mustache? Did he at least wear a white suit?Jimsolo wrote:So this weekend I finally gave in and ran a Deadlands game based on Ravenloft.

Re: Ravenloft the Reckoning
Deadlands is ridiculously lethal, and I didn't want to make him impossible to defeat. If I ever run it again I'll know to step it up.Dark Angel wrote:He was tired, the Antebellum era is exhausting.Jimsolo wrote:In the conversion, I think I made Strahd a teeny bit too weak, which I may tweak if I ever run it again.

Re: Ravenloft the Reckoning
Who were the Vistani and Madam Eva in your antebellum conversion?
I could see a female slave hoodoo witch or oracle serving the role of Madam Eva - maybe devise a system of reading thrown bones, as an alternative to Tarroka (though the Tarroka deck fits too.)

Re: Ravenloft the Reckoning
Madame Eva was an old Carribbean slave, and the Vistani were slaves of the Colonel, but under the protection of Baron LaCroix. (To give them a bit of supernatural backing.)
