# Deadlands: Genesys

This guide will be your aid in using the Genesys Narritive Dice System to traverse the Weird West of Deadlands: Reloaded in all new adventures. I have tried my best to keep the feel of Deadlands throughout, and if I felt that a mechanic just worked too good or was to flavorful to change I will leave it unchanged and put a brief description of how it works in this document. You can use this sheet as a way to start a campaign or as a tool to convert a Deadlands: Reloaded character to this system.

The basics will feel very familiar once converted, however some aspects will be much more noticeablly changed in order to fit into the Genesys System. If something is left out all together, it either already has a Genesys counterpart, it was changed to be another type of thing due to the system, or it is in the process if being converted to Genesys.

## The Weird West

The year is 1879, and the history is not our own...
After almost two decades of bitter fighting, the American Civil War has
ground to a standstill. The Confederate States are still free. California has
fallen into the Pacific Ocean. Rail Barons fight bloody battles to decide
who the victor will be in the race for a transcontinental railroad, while
a superfuel called ghost rock advances technology by unpredictable
leaps and sometimes dangerous bounds. The Sioux have retaken the
Dakotas and the Coyote Confederation dances the Ghost Dance on the
High Plains. Some even say the dead walk among us.
We know it’s a lot to take in, partner, so let’s start at the beginning.

### The Late Unpleasantness

The American Civil War began as it did in
our own history. After more than a decade
of conflict over the States’ right of selfgovernment,
Abraham Lincoln’s election to
the American Presidency was the straw that
broke the camel’s back. Seven Southern states
seceded to form the Confederate States of
America and laid claim to federal property
within the borders of the young nation.

Not even sworn in, President-elect Lincoln
was faced with an immediate dilemma. Though
many of the Confederate government’s claims
did not present immediate crises, the question
of federal forts garrisoned by Union troops
would not stand unanswered for long. Lincoln
ultimately decided to resupply two forts in
immediate danger of capture by Confederate
forces—Fort Sumter near Charleston and Fort
Pickens in Pensacola Harbor. Infamously, the
former would be the match that lit the powder
keg.

Upon receiving news of the resupply, the
Union garrison refused to surrender in a
timely fashion, hoping to hold out until help
arrived. On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces
attacked, and a new nation—the Confederate
States of America—was baptized in blood.

### A House Divided

The Battle of Fort Sumter prompted four
more states to secede from the Union, or more
accurately, three and a half. Virginia, like the
Union itself, was divided. The residents of the
western counties of the state refused to secede,
instead forming the new state of West Virginia.

The rest of Virginia followed the footsteps
of its Southern neighbors. The Confederacy
now included Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. With
Virginia’s secession, Richmond was named
the Confederate capital. The battle lines had
been drawn, and the war was on.

Then something changed…for the worse.
Union forces, led by Major General Gordon
Meade, met and defeated General Robert E.
Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania. Though Meade scored a
victory, he was unable to pursue the retreating
rebels. A lot of folks make a lot of claims
about that day. Some say Meade’s uniform
changed from blue to yellow, while less stable
folk claim dead soldiers rose up and shot at
their living comrades.

### War Without End

The war ground on, with no end in sight.
Though battles in the West were few and far
between thanks to the low concentration of
forts and troops on both sides, battlefields
in the East were bloodied again and again as
both sides gave and gained the same ground
over and over. It was so common to fight on
ground once thought secured that generals and historians on both sides began to refer
to battles not only by the name of the nearest
town, but by how many times the blue and the
gray had met on that spot. Antietam was followed
by Antietam II, Antietam III, and so on.
Even when new battlefields were christened,
it was assumed more fighting would follow
on the same ground.

## Revelation

Then, in 1868, a change of a more noticeable
sort came around. An earthquake the likes of
which history has never seen shattered the
west coast from Mexicali to Oregon. It left in
its wake a labyrinth of jagged mesas towering
over flooded, broken terrain. This region was
quickly dubbed the “Great Maze.” The ruins
revealed wonders unseen previously, such as
the California Maze Dragons, immense reptilian
creatures that troll the rough channels of
the Maze. Still more amazing was the discovery
of what some believed to be simple coal,
but was soon determined to be a new mineral
altogether.

This new fundament burned about five
times hotter and over a hundred times longer
than coal. When consumed, it gave off a
ghostly white vapor and howled like the Devil
himself. The first survivors who discovered it
dubbed it “ghost rock,” and the name stuck.
Though it didn’t happen overnight, ghost
rock would change the face of the war…and
the West.

### The Power of Ghost Rock

Immediately after this discovery, many
hopeful inventors flocked to the Maze. In
months, they had perfected devices powered
by steam and fueled by ghost rock. Reports
of horseless carriages, ghost-rock-powered
ships, and even weapons capable of spewing
great gouts of flame or torrents of bullets
became common.

It wasn’t long before the miracle mineral
was put to even more use, both in engineering
and chemistry. It was discovered that ghost
rock could be used in place of coke when
refining steel, creating a much stronger and
lighter metal with a higher melting point,
called ghost steel.

Likewise, refined ghost
rock—usually in powdered form—could be
used as both a catalyst and reagent in chemical
reactions, leading to the creation of many
new tonics, salves, and unguents using the
powdered mineral as a key ingredient. While
these elixirs remain popular today, ingesting
higher concentrations of ghost rock invariably
proves fatal.

### Science Marches On...

…into battle! You guessed it, partner. It wasn’t long before generals and other high and mighty folks Back East noticed the array of gadgets coming out of the Maze. Confederate President Jeff Davis was the first to realize their potential, and quickly instituted a program to turn this “New Science” toward the war effort. Confederate scientists in a secret base near Roswell, New Mexico developed a whole passel of these infernal devices and shipped them Back East.

In February of 1871, General Lee and the
Army of Northern Virginia attacked Union
lines near Washington D.C. Lee’s forces
included dozens of Davis’ secret weapons.
Flamethrowers, steam tanks, and other,
stranger weapons rained death on Union
troops. The attack was devastating, so much
so that Lee’s forces temporarily seized the
Union capital itself!

### The Union Antes Up

Though it didn’t take long for the Rebels’
experimental devices to malfunction and their
supply of ghost rock to run low, the message
was clear. The war would turn on a wheel
powered by ghost rock.

Since the Quake of ’68, ghost rock had been
found all over the country, but the greatest
concentration was still in the Maze. Getting
the precious mineral out of the ground was
one thing, but once extracted, it still needed to
be transported across the country to the factories
where it could be put to use.

<p>Genesys</p></div>

\pagebreakNum

Once back in the White House, President Grant offered the
exclusive government contract for ghost rock
to the first company that managed to build a
transcontinental railroad. President Davis followed
suit the next day.
The Civil War, bloodier than ever, continued,
and the Great Rail Wars had begun.

## America Asunder

Most everyone, even tenderfoots from Back
East, knows America is divided in two. Even
that’s shy of the truth by a country mile. In
fact, what used to be the United States of
America and its territories is now six separate
nations. Had it not been for the war, there is
little doubt there would be no Sioux Nation,
no Coyote Confederation, no Republic of
Deseret, and certainly no Commonwealth of
California.

Though Confederate President Jefferson
Davis’ dying words urged peace between
the Americas, and his successor Eric Michele
made good by ordering Southern forces to
stand down—a gesture later returned in kind
by US President Grant—the genie is out of
the bottle. It is unlikely America will ever be
united under a single flag again.

### The United States

President Ulysses S. Grant has occupied
the White House since 1872. Many thought
he would lose the 1876 election, as he seemed
more suited to command on the battlefield
than from the White House.

That said, the “November Offensives” of 1876—so called
because both the Union and Confederacy
staged major military campaigns prior to the
elections to win votes for the incumbent presidents—
and the British invasion of Detroit that
followed on its heels convinced the public that
“Unconditional Surrender” Grant was their
man.

Until recently, Grant’s administration
claimed dominion over the entire country and
refused to acknowledge the existence of any
other American nation. The truth, however, is
that Washington exerts little to no authority over the other nations described here, and
recent peace negotiations have forced him to
recognize the Confederacy’s legitimacy.

Now the president broods in his capital,
watching his beloved nation fall apart around
him. Worse, a new year and new elections
approach, and Grant fears his successor will
lack his firm stance in peace negotiations.
Many believe Grant is merely biding his
time and regrouping the Union armies for a
renewed assault on the South.

## Converting from Deadlands: Reloaded

Here you will find the very basics of the system conversion, if you are starting from the beginning with this guide you can carry on as this section is for converting already made Deadlands: Reloaded characters.

### Characteristics

You will still have to "remake" your character using this document if you have a preexisting DL:RL character. However, this section  should help with making sense of what aspects of your DL:RL character equal your new Deadlands: Genesys character.

Since DL:RL uses five different dice to represent your score in an atttribute we can assume that each rank of die equals one point in a Genesys characteristic.

\columnbreak

##### Example

Tommy has his Deadlands: Reloaded character sheet and he has a d10 in his Agility attirbute. A d10 is the fourth "level" of die so we can assume that in Deadlands: Genesys Tommy would want a 4 in Agility. Tommy would start with a basic human species and raise his base 2 in Agility to a 4 using 70 XP.
</div>

#### Attributes to Characteristics

* Agility - No Change
* Smarts - Intelligence
* Spirit - Presence
* Strength - Brawn
* Vigor - Willpower
* Charisma - Cunning

<div class="footnote">Deadlands:<BR />
<p>Genesys</p></div>

\pagebreakNum

#### Skills

Similarly to Attributes, Skills also have five "Ranks" in DL:RL. This means that we can make the same assumptions that we did when converting Attributes.

##### Example

In Deadlands: Genesys the Shooting skill has been changed to the ranged Skill. In DL:RL Tommy has a d8 in the Shooting skill, so to convert to Genesys Tommy would have Rank 3 of the Ranged Combat Skill.</div>

### Hindrances

Hinderances had to be changed from Dealands; Reloaded, they (for now) work like the Obligations from the Star Wars RPG. Due to this change, many of the hindrances from DL:RL had to be "dropped" due to not fitting in as Obligations. You can get a closer look at which hindrances were kept in the next section.

## Hindrances are Obligations

##### Code of Honor
Honor is very important to your character. He keeps his word, won’t abuse or kill prisoners, and generally tries to operate within his world’s particular notion of proper gentlemanly or ladylike behavior.
##### Death Wish
Having a death wish doesn’t mean your adventurer is suicidal—but he does want to die after completing some important goal. Maybe he wants revenge for the murder of his family, or maybe he’s dying from disease and wants to go out in a blaze of glory. He won’t throw his life away for no reason, but when there’s a chance to complete his goal, he’ll do anything—and take any risk—to achieve it.
##### Grim Servant o’ Death:
+1 Damage on any attack
Any attack roll that has a Despair or three or more Threats now automatically targets the nearest PC to the intended target
Your hero’s a killer. His family’s probably pushing daisies, his enemies are worm food, and even a few of his friends have holes in them that are suspiciously the same caliber as his very own shootin’ iron. The downside is that your hero winds up in the hoosegow or on the run a lot.
##### Heroic
This noble soul never says no to a person in need. She doesn’t have to be happy about it, but she always comes to the rescue of those she feels can’t help themselves. She’s the first one to run into a burning building, usually agrees to hunt monsters for little or no pay, and is generally a pushover for a sob story.

\columnbreak

##### Old Ways Oath:
Can’t use anything that is considered to be a complex or modern item (GM discretion. Ex: Guns, Personally piloting a vehicle) for the setting.

In Deadlands: RL this is the Minor version of the hindrance, which means that any character who takes this will not use anything that isn't "natural" (Stone Knives, Horses). The Major version was dropped because if anyone were to take it the rest of the party would hate you.
##### Wanted
For some reason, the character has a price on his head. This may be in the form of a legal warrant or a contract by criminals, collection agencies, or even someone who felt his honor violated in some way. What he did to earn this mark is up to his background, and the severity of his actions can be based on the size of his Obligation.

## Careers

### Gunslinger
Gunslingers are the (usually) morally gray heroes of a classic western. They are men who wander from place to place, passing their judgment on those using the irons on their hips.

**Career Skills:** Coercion, Cool, Discipline, Perception, Ranged (Light), Riding, Survival, Vigilance

**Signature Ability:** Duel

Once per session, during a combat encunter, the character may spend 2 Story Points and make a **Hard (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Discipline check** to challenge any other character. If he succeeds, the two characters are locked in a duel for 3 rounds. For the duration of the duel, the two dueling characters can only make attack checks targeting each other and no other characters can target the dueling characters with attacks (or otherwise intervene).

### Grifter
You ply your dishonest trade to make a quick buck on the frontier. You’re a snakeoil salesman, a con man who sells worthless elixirs of flavored water and extracts from dubious roots and herbs. Perhaps you search for real “miracle cures,” and finance your quest with ill-gotten gains.

**Career Skills:** Charm, Deception, Medicine, Melee (Light), Negotiation, Skullduggery, Stealth, Streetwise

**Signature Ability:** Miracle Elixir

Once per session, the character may spend 2 Story Points and make a **Hard (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Charm check** to convinve another character that they should buy your "Miracle Elixir". If he succeeds, the character may sell their "Miracle Elixir" for a large fortune ($600) to the other character, and they are none the wiser.

### Hexslinger
Hexslingers, are magically inclined gunslingers who use their knowledge of the arcane to enhance their shooting

**Career Skills:** Arcana, Cool, Coordination, Perception, Ranged (Light), Riding, Vigilance

**Signature Ability:** Devil's Breath

Once per session, during a combat encunter, the character may spend 2 Story Points and make a **Hard (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Arcana check.** If he succeeds, the character summons a wall of arcane guns and they open fire on any enemy in medium range in front of them. The guns automatically hit any target caught in the cone, dealing 7 damage (before reductions) to them.

### Law Dog
Law Dogs are any type of law enforcement in the Weird West. Whether they are a Marshal, Sheriff, or Texas Ranger, the Law Dog uses their skill with firearms to enforce whatever law and order is left.

**Career Skills:** Cool, Discipline, Knowledge, Leadership, Perception, Ranged (Light), Ranged (Heavy)

**Signature Ability:** Long Arm of the Law

Once per session, the character may spend 2 Story Points and make a **Hard (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Discipline check.** If he succeeds, the Law Dog makes a successful arrest on a chosen character in medium range of the Law Dog. The arrested character is considered unable to move and has their hands restrained until the Law Dog decides if they are free to go or not. If he chooses to free the arrested character they can continue to act normally, if they aren't freed they are sent to prison to serve a sentence determined by the GM.

### Huckster
A Huckster uses the arcane secrets found in Hoyle's Book of Games as a means to wield the arcane arts. Hucksters may also deal with the devil in order to use a demon's power instead of the hucksters own power.

**Career Skills:** Arcane, Athletics, Coercion, Coordination, Perception, Skullduggery

**Signature Ability:** Hand of Fate

Once per session, the character may spend 2 Story Points and make a **Hard (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Skullduggery check.** If he succeeds, then the next time the character is dealt a hand of cards to Deal with the Devil, they can instead choose to take a **Straight** as their hand instead of making one off of the cards they were dealt.

<div class="footnote">Deadlands:<BR />
<p>Genesys</p></div>

\pagebreakNum

### Mad Scientist
A Mad Scientist uses the arcane powers found in Ghostrock to great machines far more advanced than any sane person could imagine. That's the point, they're all Mad and it only gets worse (or better) the more you use these devices.

**Career Skills:** Alchemy, Coordination, Driving, Mechanics, Medicine, Melee (Light), Ranged (Light), Ranged (Heavy)

**Signature Ability:** Inventive Creation

Once per game session. as an action. the character may spend 2 Destiny Points and make a **Daunting (<span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span> <span class='difficulty'>d</span>) Mechanics check.** If he succeeds, the character immediately uses available parts in the surrounding environment to build a device that functions as a weapon. suit of armor. or other piece of personal equipment of his choice with a rarity of 5 or lower. The item functions until the end of the encounter at which point it falls apart, shorts out, or otherwise permanently ceases to function.

The exact nature of the device the character is trying to construct. as well as the end results, must be approved by the GM based on common sense and the ongoing story.

### Shamans
Shamans are the newest generation of Native Americans to travel the Weird West following their own ideals and appeasing the spirits

**Career Skills:** Athletics, Brawl, Discipline, Medicine, Melee (Light), Perception, Primal, Ranged (Light), Survival

**Signature Ability:** Fetish Creator
