Aside from the good Governor General, Ethan Chandler and a 'haint' , and a bit of Pulp Alley fun, I've been wondering if anyone has gone further with a project based on the show.

I got a bit turned off at a point, but will slog a bit through that to give it another chance. Would like to see what other characters may have been turned to figures-on-the-table.

Thanks!

Doug

I only got to see the first few episodes, but it looked really good. I immediately starting thinking about doing it as a Pulp Alley campaign.  ;)

If anyone can, Mila...  ;)

I was admitting to my daughter, not the thing for a young lady, and she's 34.  lol

Still, she's even more adventurous than I. In her younger days, we'd 'hot bed' at conventions. I'd be draggin' butt out of bed for a day of table traipsing as she was coming in from a night of Vampire LARPing and raves.

When her daughter grows of an age for adventure...  :o

We call it 'paying for your upbringing.'

Do keep me informed of your progress!

I've been wanting to get the core group together but I haven't found any existing minis that are just right, still looking though.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I think one of the figures from the Victorian Gentlemen set by Westwind would work for the Governor guy. I'd dig through their catalog, because you could likely find some figures that are close enough that, with the right paint jobs, you could get away with it.

The first season is great - good cast, fine performances - especially the seance scene.
"One of My Men Became Restless" focuses on 15mm Horse & Musket periods and 25mm Horse & Musket, Fantasy, Horror and Victorian everything! Occasionally there'll be stuff of related interest but it's mostly a painters blog.  See it all here: http://flashman14.blogspot.com/

And the second season is even better than the first with witches being the theme this time out.

Thanks for the shout-out, Tony! But may I humbly ask that you call me Christopher, not Chris?

 Only my mom calls me Chris, and I'm not too keen on her using it, either.  lol

The Timothy Dalton character is pretty much the 'Master Vampire Slayer' figure from my 'Vampire Slayers Club' range and I already have a gunfighter character who also fights with a silver bladed Bowie Knife (figure now cast). There is a female Japanese slayer who fights with 2 katanas and a Chinese slayer with special skills and weapons. The rules are not printed yet but if anyone would like a pdf of the basic rules then let me know. Fate cards and custom dice are required but alternatives can be used for play testing. If I get enough requests I will have made any character from 'Penny Dreadful' or other source and work it into the system. Michael  www.vampireslayersclub.co.uk

Okay, CHRISTOPHER, do you have them placed anywhere that an FB luddite might look at them?  :D

Sure thing! On my blog I've got links to the document on Google Drive and Dropbox. I've reproduced them below so you don't have to hunt for them:

Thanks, Doug. I asked Craig about doing that and sent him the latest version of the list as a pdf.He said it sounded like a fine idea, so it should appear once he gets a chance.

Excellent!

Alas, I've not been doing much gaming, but plenty of reading. And posting.

Work has room for the odd moment's note, but hardly for actual play.

And homelife...
