I want to run a Deadlines game. I have never done so before.
But which version should I run?
>1st Edition?
>2nd Edition?
>d20?
>GURPS?
>Savage Worlds?

Whichever one uses cards. I only played it once with some friends, so I can't remember which it was, but that was the tightest shit.

Pretty sure that's savage world's

>cards
I heard about that. Like when a warlock casts a spell you need to play a hand of poker with the devil to see if you succeed.
Bad ass!

Any of those versions is okay, just NOT D20

I think Savage worlds was the one without poker in it

Savage World is based on Deadlands

You play poker in all of them.
Original edition is best edition.
The spellcasters use decks of cards to cast spells, better hands having greater effect. The initiative is card based, more cards meaning more actions. The character creation is card based even. It does use dice for skill rolls, you're going to need a lot of a variety of dice. It can be a deadly game, the monsters are tough.
The main reason the original edition is best is that it has a lot of stuff for it.
