The year is 877. The place is Britain, not as it was, but as its people thought it was. Danish raiders plunder the land. The last kingdom teeters on the edge of annihilation. It is a land steeped in terror, and that fear stirs the attention and ambition of ancient evils.

Now funding on Kickstarter, Deadlands® Dark Ages opens a new, early chapter in the Deadlands® saga. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are newly born, taking shape from the collective nightmares of a ravaged population. The first known Harrowed emerge: slain men and women who rise from death with the “help” of a demon who comes along for the ride. Merlin distributes magic-infused six-shooters pilfered from the Weird West to his champions in the Dark Ages—special tools for special defenders.

This new game uses the award-winning and time-tested Savage Worlds system at its core, but there’s more here than just a sourcebook:

⚔️ Deadlands® Dark Ages Core Rulebook: This 244+ page hardcover contains special character creation options, gear, setting rules, background information, an epic Plot Point Campaign, over a dozen Savage Tales adventures, and a bestiary filled with plenty of medieval foes to battle.

⚔️ Deadlands® Dark Ages Graphic Novel (Merlin’s Champions): It all starts here! In this 96-page hardcover, emerging paladin Constance (and her self-described squire Othello) faces Morgana’s minions and the Wild Hunt in the year 871. These events introduce the setting and some characters seen in Deadlands® Dark Ages and continue the saga of Morgana’s return to the world of Deadlands®!

⚔️ Deadlands® Dark Ages Accessories Box: If you’ve experienced the Savage Worlds game rules, you know what the accessories can bring to the experience: a custom deck of oversized Action Cards for initiative, themed Bennies and Status Tokens, die-cut Pawns (with front and back art to show facing), and a fold-out poster map of Britain. And brand new to this campaign, something you haven’t seen this from us before: 3D terrain! The set includes two small houses and a twisted tree, all scaled to work with our pawns and using the same die-cut, full color quality. They’re even quick to assemble thanks to our NEW FastForge™ terrain system!

⚔️ Deadlands® Dark Ages Cursed Village: The Accessories Box has a taste of FastForge™ terrain for your games, but this set has more! Enough to create an entire village in minutes. It contains four hovels, a long house, a priory, spooky trees, and those little touches like hanged bodies and flames that show just how truly dark these Dark Ages can get! Great for encounters from the Plot Point Campaign, Savage Tales, and for fast random encounters along the way. FastForge™ is printed on both sides, including playable interiors, and the roof can quickly be removed from the walls or the walls removed from the floor plate for flexibility on the table.

⚔️ Deadlands® Dark Ages Premium Conviction Dice (Set of Six Metal d6s): In previous campaigns we’ve offered custom metal coins as tokens to represent the Conviction your character can earn and spend during a game. For Dark Ages we thought… why not metal dice instead, the very same d6s you roll and add to every Trait and damage roll?! Take your group’s Conviction to the next level with six of these incredible metal dice. They come in an amazing box that lifts them into view like the blessing they are. (Fanfare not included.)

⚔️ Excalibur Foil Stamped Item Card: In The Once and Future King Plot Point Campaign, players may have a chance to wield the legendary Excalibur! This exclusive, foil-stamped item card has a picture of King Arthur’s mythical sword on one side and the game statistics on the other!
