Well, the mod team already have an introductions thread (as the forum is now telling me!), but what about the rest of us cowpokes and drifters? Let me begin...
I'm Dave, I've been a Deadlands fan for quite some time, and after reading the rpg supplements spawned by the lore of Classic Doomtown, I wanted to try the game out. Unfortunately at that point it had been out of print for several years. When I heard about the announcement for Doomtown Reloaded, I jumped on the hype train, followed the fiction and then bought the game on release. Then I put it to one side as I was planning then running a LARP event (which takes up all your free time). I didn't get any initial interest amongst my friends, so I didn't do much with the game til January 2015 when I decided I would dive in headfirst and went to a Deputy event in Manchester for my first proper games. I had a lot of fun, and even managed to win two of my three games! I wanted to play more, so I kept pushing the game at my circle of friends, and managed to get the guys I ran Deadlands for into playing. They liked it, and we now have a regular multiplayer game.
Deck-wise I tend towards Law Dogs with a Government twist. Expect to see Rafi Hamid and co. sticking wanted posters round town then standing on the Hustings watching Mr. Wiles and an army of bounty hunters do their dirty work. I'll also mess around with oddball deck ideas and try out unpopular cards. I'm not likely to run 3x16 or anything I consider super-cheap. I show up at Northern UK events occasionally, and I'm looking to get one organised in York since we've got enough local players to support one now.
Outside of Doomtown, I also play wargames and tabletop RPGs and LARP. I play the odd boardgame but I don't dabble in any other card games.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd be so kind...
