What is Black Waters?

Black Waters is a Deadlands: Hell on Earth campaign focusing on a region of the northern Maze coastline (the Maze is an area of California by the sea that collapsed) where the players will find themselves stranded in after a boatman they hired to take them in land runs off. While the campaign will have a story the players are free to move about in this region as they wish looking for work, hunting down outlaws or carrying out missions they get offered and the story will develop from there.

Currently I'm on the edge on whether I want to make this PbP or IRC/Maptools sessions though if I do do sessions the times will likely be Saturday or Sunday at 4 PM my time (it is currently Tuesday at 6:16 PM for me just so you guys have something to go off of). I will be taking five to six players in total though it won't be first come first serve, I'll be taking the sheets I think work best together and that I think will work well.

If you're interested in joining, but don't have the rulebooks send me a PM and I will help you get a character put together, and if you just have questions in general about the game the shoot a message in this thread or a PM to me if you want and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. More information will be added to this, and the following post as needed/as its obtained.

Still reading the rule set will make the char soonish

Alright, if you have any questions just ask away.

[Remuthra]

I'll look into joining this in a day or two if it's still open.

[adwarf]

I'll look into joining this in a day or two if it's still open.

Yep still open, only got five people who've shown interest so there's still one more space before I start picking from sheets sent  (none as of yet, but with the help I've sent so far it shouldn't take long for people to get some done).

[IcyTea31]

I'll be applying in a couple of days, PTW for now.

[Varee]

Can we have an update on how many people applied so far?

[GiglameshDespair]

Sweet undead jesus that's a lot of things to look through.

[adwarf]

Its still just five people who have applied, and only one has sent in their character sheet so I'll go ahead and say that I'll be giving information for the campaign around next Thursday and will give a tentative deadline for character sheets (for those who've already applied) on the same date.

[IcyTea31]

Because this isn't Paranoia, I see no reason not to proclaim that I plan to apply with a leader-type heroic Law Dog. I've barely even started yet, though, so it isn't set in stone.

As for the time for live sessions, 4 PM in the GM's timezone wouldn't be good, it equals too late in the evening in mine. An earlier time would be nice.

[GiglameshDespair]

Ah, count me out. Sorry.

[Varee]

This seem to not be going though

[adwarf]

This seem to not be going though

That would seem to be the case as two of five players can't make the sessions for an IRC/maptools thing.

Any who decision made on that front, the game will be play by post but with combat or particularly fast paced sections being held over IRC when needed so as to keep the thread going at a decent speed. I've got another sheet from IcyTea31 as well, feel free to post your sheets in thread for those that have them done.

[IcyTea31]

Sure. I made my sheet in two parts for clarity. The dynamic sheet contains things more likely to change during gameplay.
