== Background ==

David Washington's daddy always cursed him for being the shiftless layabout he was, saying things might have changed in this country but boys like him still needed to work for a living. David just wanted to enjoy his newfound freedom, however, and he found every excuse he could to avoid actual work. When his parents found out he was running games on their neighbours, they booted him out at the tender age of 17.

Undeterred, David travelled around and ran cons as he did so. He fell in with some bad crowds, but a combination of luck and cunning got him out in one piece every time. Until the day he met Valerie Chilton, a Mad Scientist working on longevity treatments. She offered him good pay for being a test subject, which sounded like an easy deal to David.

The actual tests soon changed his mind. She twisted him, transformed him, until he felt like a stranger in his own body. After she was done working her science upon him she paid him duly, and then sent him on his way. Feeling repulsed by his own flesh, David came to an epiphany of sorts, and he finally appreciated what his old man had been trying to teach him all those years ago. Now he's trying to go on the straight and narrow, but when you've got the skillset he does it's often easier to fall back on bad habits.

He's gotten word that an old colleague of his, [[YellerBelly|Bill Keely]], is having trouble in a town called Coffin Rock. David and Bill haven't had the easiest relationship, but he feels he owes the old coot so off he goes to bail him out of trouble.

== Worst Nightmare ==

His parents, the victims of his cons, all the people he feels he’s let down or hurt finding him and coming to take their revenge. The form this revenge takes varies from dream to dream: sometimes they dismember him, sometimes they imprison him and sometimes they bury him alive and let the worms come for him.

Deadlands the Weird West Coffin Rock Colorado

2024-06-20T17:27:33Z

Haozillima: /* Character Files/Meta Currencies */

__NOTOC__

This tale is set in the troubled town of Coffin Rock, Colorado. Coffin Rock is named for the large, morbidly shaped bluff looming over the town, a once thriving boom town built around The Crooked Earth Mine. Now, though, with the copper claims all but played out and people having fled the area to try and make a living elsewhere, it is just a reminder that this town once had hope.

Rising up from the plains of Kansas and crossing westward into Colorado brings a traveler to the Rocky Mountains. The rugged Colorado territory is home to many hundreds of great peaks in excess of 10,000 feet, riddled with seams of valuable minerals. Countless boom towns have sprung up to drag their fortunes from the earth’s rocky clutches.

Coffin Rock began as just a town—founded when copper was discovered in the surrounding mountains. Smaller claims came and went, and the town’s fortunes rose and fell accordingly. But it was one big strike, and the man who made it, that shaped the town’s history and current predicament. The year is 1880.

Players should track their Bennies and Conviction in their IC headers. I will track them here. If you feel I've gotten your count wrong, ping me in OOC or via DM, and I'll fix it.

==Player Expectations==

'''Post Frequency'''
* I am asking for '''Two to Three''' posts a week commitment for this game as a general rule, with the understanding that posting might be less frequent on weekends and holidays. RL being what it is, this generally averages to 3-4 GM updates per week.
:'''Note:''' If 72 hours have passed since my last GM update, I may post a new update, even if all players have not posted, to maintain momentum.

'''Post Absences'''
*If you will ''not'' be able to post, for whatever reason, please ping us in OOC if you can so we know what is going on or post to the [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/ooc-deadlands-coffin-rock.920231/ OOC Thread]

'''Post Formatting'''
* Please use a header at the top of your IC posts that includes at least the following information:

::'''Character Name | Parry''' X '''| Toughness''' X (Y) '''| PP''' (if applicable) Cur/Max '''| Bennies''' X | '''Conviction''' X

* If you are addressing another PC in your post, it is helpful to '''bold''' their character name as well so it stands out for them.

* OOC blocks are fine for showing dice rolls and brief OOC comments directly related to a particular post. Please sblock if you need to include large blocks of text related to your IC post. All other OOC content should go in the OOC thread itself.

* Do not place action statements (incl pp/bennie spends) or dice rolls in the OOC Thread. I might not keep up with those. All action statements and dice rolls should go in the IC Thread [OOC Blocked].

* Please link all dice rolls back to your dice roller.

==PVP==
[[Deadlands_the_Weird_West_Coffin_Rock_Colorado|< < < Back to Top
]]

While there is the potential for a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict in a game like this one, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. Games like that simply do not need a GM, and I would much rather spend my time running games that ''do'' need a GM.

I had a line about NPCs in here, I have removed it. I expect players to use common sense and act in character appropriately. NPCs can be dealt with however you wish. Do note that if you treat them badly, there will be ramifications in play.

For reference, what I consider PVP basically amounts to this:

Disagreements, trash-talking, and indirect actions that might affect another character but aren't made directly against that character are all potentially on the table, with the stipulation that if something just makes the game not fun for someone, we respect that and steer clear.

We will want to agree on what works for each of us in-game posts, as this is a Spaghetti Western with MEAT! There are also horror elements; the goal is fun, not to make someone uncomfortable.

----

If you want to do something that directly acts against another player's character, proceed based on the following criteria:

----

:'''Unilateral Permission:''' The other player agrees to your action. No rolls are needed. Just RP it out.

:'''Limited Permission:''' The other player doesn't agree that it is an automatic thing, but does agree to let the math rocks decide. Roll it out.

:'''Declined Permission:''' The other player does not agree to PVP. Move on with something else.
