There are also a ton of colorful location cards you can lay out to better illustrate the places your posse visit – set them up as you would in a game of Doomtown to create an easy map of a frontier town’s main street! They can be great visual aids for NPCs or enemies like I used them in our game for the Deadlands Kickstarter, and when I ran the Twilight Protocol event games my players got a kick out of being handed cards representing items and relics they came across. “I use Doomtown cards for all sorts of things when I’m GMing Deadlands. Jordan Caves-Callarman, Marshal of the WildCards Deadlands live show on Twitch, explains his usage of Doomtown cards with the RPG: Need to identify what weapon your baddies are using in a particular fight? Draw randomly from the hearts for your Goods! Need an NPC to appear to interact with the posse? Draw from your spades for an inspired Dude to enter the scene! You can either shuffle the deck and pull from it at random, or divide the piles into suits. You can also shuffle this deck to produce random dudes, deeds, goods, or events that can occur within your Deadlands game. The deck featured here on, presents a deck that you can use for the Doomtown card game. Not only can you use your Doomtown cards to fulfill this function, it can also operate as a tool for the Gamemaster. Those new to tabletop RPGs or the Savage Worlds game system will find that combat initiative uses a unique system of each player receiving a playing card from a regular 54-card poker deck.

To celebrate, we’d like to present some ideas on how you can use your Doomtown cards, while also playing Deadlands.

Greetings pardners! If you followed the new Deadlands: The Weird West Kickstarter, or were one of the backers, you may know fulfillment has begun on getting out the stunning new version of this beloved RPG.
