Apr 14, 2012. Pinnacle is obviously a big fan of the Plot Point campaigns, but with Deadlands Reloaded they opted to do multiple PPCs, focusing on The Big Bads that had been. Like all of the Reloaded books, The Flood is gorgeous, and nearly 200 pages of information. It's available as a separate free download.

I'm reading through The Flood right now. It's ok, as far as campaign plot point storylines go. The thing for me is, I like Deadlands for the shpoooooky creeping evil theme. Flood is not about that, really.

I mean, some ghosts show up in a few adventures, and the background story is based around supernatural bad guys, but the actual adventures themselves are not very creepy or haunting. The atmosphere feels a lot more 'common' to me. The PCs at one point, for example, get involved in a Triad war for control of Shan Fan. Heroic and dangerous, I suppose, but not exactly what I have in mind when I think of Deadlands.

I want my PCs to be chasing boogums and things that go bump in the night, not negotiating with gangsters during their power struggles in town. The only other material I have for DL:R are the free single-page adventures available on the Pinnacle website, which are a lot more geared towards my ideas of the game themes. Ghosts, demons, mystery, hauntings. Youngbloodz Still Grippin Tha Grain Zip.

I'd string those together into a mini-campaign before I'd run Flood, but I guess it depends on your taste, of course. 'The Flood' has a huge amount of stuff in it--multiple adventure arcs--so even if some of it doesn't work for you, there should be enough in there for you to find it worthwhile. I'd definitely recommend it. 'Saddle Sore' also has good stuff in it, and I got a huge amount of mileage out of 'For Whom the Whistle Blows.' I was kind of meh on 'Coffin Rock.' I like the default 'you wander into this town and it's creepy' premise for Deadlands adventures, but for whatever reason this one didn't do it for me.

'South of the Border,' I liked, but it requires your posse to go to Mexico (deep in there, in some cases). I'm eagerly anticipating 'Last Sons,' which is supposed to be a Flood-scale Plot Point campaign centered around the Native American tribes. You should also check out some of the classic Deadlands adventures.

They're not compatible rules-wise, but there's some good adventure seeds in those things. 'For Whom the Whistle Blows' is inspired by the 'Night Train' adventure, and I'm currently in the middle of an adventure based on 'Worms'.
