Deadlands turns 30 years old this year, and we’re celebrating with a once-in-a-generation Anniversary campaign.

To give you a taste of what’s coming, this is a FREE preview of the updated Dueling Rules! 

In the Weird West, a duel isn’t just a gunfight — it’s ritual, reputation, and raw nerve.

This free preview presents the updated and clarified Dueling Rules from the 2026 edition of Deadlands: The Weird West. These rules expand High Noon showdowns into tense, cinematic standoffs featuring Hole Cards, formal Tests, dramatic Draw mechanics, and brutal first-shot damage bonuses that reward the fastest hand in the territory.

Designed to heighten tension and spotlight legendary gunslingers, these rules make formal duels faster, deadlier, and more memorable at the table.

If you want your next showdown to feel worthy of legend, step into the street and draw.

Don't forget to check out the Kickstarter campaign, now in its final week! 

The heat hits before the sound. It rolls over you in suffocating waves, thick enough to choke on, carrying the stench of rot, wet iron, and flowering things that should not smell like meat. The canopy above is a living ceiling - layer upon layer of swollen leaves, thorned vines, and pulsating growths that blot out the sky entirely. Light filters through in sickly shafts of green and amber, illuminating drifting spores that cling to skin and armor like parasites seeking purchase. Your unit is alone. The insertion went wrong fast - signal interference, sudden atmospheric turbulence, weapons fire from an unseen ridge. The drop scattered you across kilometers of hostile terrain before the jungle closed in, swallowing wreckage and bodies alike. What little gear you recovered sweats and corrodes in your hands. Ammo fouls. Power cells drain faster than expected. Every breath feels borrowed. The jungle is not passive. Something screams in the distance - sharp, ululating cries that trigger responses from deeper, heavier throats. Massive shapes crash through undergrowth far too dense for creatures of their size, yet the foliage bends aside as if welcoming them. Smaller things skitter and slither closer, drawn by sound, heat, and blood. The ground itself shifts beneath your boots, soft with decomposing matter and crawling life. And then there are the others. You spot them first as distortions - movement where movement shouldn’t be. A glint of optics between broad leaves. The faint hum of powered armor dampeners. Other bounty hunters. Other contracts. The same prize. They stalk with practiced patience, letting the jungle do half the killing. Traps hang disguised as vines. Mines are grown into the mud. Signals are baited with false hope. No extraction window is confirmed. No command voice answers your calls. Only the jungle, the predators, and the hunters - each adapting, learning, closing in. The air itself seems to press closer with every hour, heavy with spores that induce hallucinations and whispers that crawl into the mind when sleep becomes unavoidable. You begin to notice patterns in the sounds, rhythms that feel intentional. As though the jungle is listening. As though it remembers who bleeds where. Out here, survival is not about firepower. It is about staying unseen in a place that sees everything.

In this Solo Adventure you assume the role of an adventurer in the shadow-stained expanse of the Known Galaxy. You will require the Haven Fallen Core Rulebook (CRB) and any associated Expansions you wish to use. The world responds to you—your interpretations, your fears, your ambitions—and you will act as both Character and Storyteller. The Actions you take should depend on who and what you meet, what horrors cross your path, and how you choose to engage with them.  Record the outcomes. Evolve the world. Allow rumours, consequences, and scars to reappear later. As you progress, you will become your own Storyteller, shaping a living cosmos that remembers what you do. The outcome of Actions in Haven Fallen is determined by:

The air tastes wrong. Not poisoned - consecrated. Every breath carries the residue of rites performed too often, too willingly. Incense burns in towering braziers of blackened alloy and bone-white stone, its smoke curling upward in disciplined spirals, as if even the fumes have learned obedience. Banners hang motionless despite the heat, heavy with sigils stitched in crimson thread that never fades, never frays. The Diarzenita Empire calls this order. They call the chanting stability. The armored legions standing in silent formation - faces hidden behind angular helms etched with devotional kill-marks - are not guards, but witnesses. Their rifles hum softly, harmonized to the rhythm of the litany echoing through the vast chamber. At its center yawns the Gate. It is not a door. It is a wound in reality, torn open and held apart by pylons older than the Empire’s recorded history. Light bleeds from it in shades no spectrum was meant to hold - deep reds collapsing into void-black, edged with pulses of sickly gold. Within its depths, shapes move. Not emerging. Not retreating. Simply waiting. The priests insist the Gate is contained. They are wrong. The chanting falters sometimes. Just for a heartbeat. When it does, the temperature drops sharply, frost crawling across metal floors while sweat beads instantly on exposed skin. Voices whisper from the breach - layered, overlapping, speaking in tones that bypass the ear entirely. Names are spoken. Futures are promised. Sins are remembered with loving precision. You were sent here because something has changed. Demons are crossing without being summoned. Imperial systems fail in precise, ritualistic patterns. Entire cohorts vanish from sealed sanctums, leaving behind only ash arranged in geometric devotionals. The Diarzenita command denies loss, denies weakness, denies fear - but their orders are unmistakable. Stabilize the Gate. Silence the anomaly. Do not let the truth spread. Yet the deeper you move into the sanctified complex, the clearer it becomes: this was never a containment operation. It was a negotiation. One that has reached its final clause. The Gate is no longer asking for payment. It is collecting.

Lunar Moon Base Gamma, checking in! This is a lunar outpost with a hidden underground base. Two open lunar surface maps, one overhead view of the base, and larger maps for encounter areas. This could be a contemporary base on the Moon, or any outpost for science-fiction games.

Cratered Surface: Classic lunar surface to traverse.
Lunar Surface: No big craters, but plenty of sand dunes and barren rocks.
Lunar Underground: A very large map (60x60) of a hidden underground base on the Moon.
Moon Base Gamma: Overhead view of the visible lunar base.
Moonbase Greenhouse: Agricultural and hydroponics set up to provide fresh air and vegetables to the lunar crew.
Moonbase Habitation: Above-ground living space for visiting astronauts.
Underground Entrance: Two buildings conceal airlocks to the underground base. An elevator for staff and a vehicular lift for cargo and surface rovers.

No gridlines.
Most of these maps are gridsize 40x30, and are at 4000x3000 pixels so they stay sharp when printed or zoomed in.

Hags of Ruin | New 5e Monsters

Hags of Ruin is a monster supplement for 5e that presents hags not as isolated swamp crones or recycled spellcasters, but as structured manifestations of tragic emotion. Instead of relying on a single generic hag stat block, this book provides six complete and escalating emotional triads: Hunger, Grief, Anger, Envy, Despair, and Desire—each expressed through three distinct roles: the Voice, the Maw, and the Keeper.

These are not covens. They are emotional fractures made manifest.

The intent of this product is thematic escalation and structured corruption. Each triad embodies a specific form of ruin and functions as a unified threat. The Voice tempts, manipulates, and destabilizes. The Maw devastates and consumes. The Keeper anchors the manifestation and prevents its collapse. When united, each triad activates a shared Triad of Ruin feature that intensifies its emotional domain and reshapes the battlefield.

Geography, cosmology, and origin are intentionally undefined. These stat blocks can represent village-level tragedy, noble downfall, religious collapse, or kingdom-scale obsession. They do not replace traditional hags—they expand them, offering structure and emotional identity where there was once only folklore menace.

Whether these manifestations are rare catastrophes or recurring consequences of mortal failure is left entirely in the GM’s hands.

Hunger Triad

Voice of Hunger (CR 1): Whispers of scarcity and temptation who coaxes desperate bargains for sustenance and survival.

Maw of Hunger (CR 1): Gaunt devourer that feeds on flesh and vitality, growing stronger as others starve.

Keeper of Hunger (CR 1): Withered sentinel who spoils food, withers crops, and prevents relief from taking hold.

Grief Triad

Voice of Grief (CR 3): Soft-spoken mourner who weaponizes memory and loss, drawing the living into sorrowful fixation.

Maw of Grief (CR 3): Wailing horror that lashes out with grief made tangible, turning mourning into harm.

Keeper of Grief (CR 3): Silent matron who binds areas in oppressive remembrance and suppresses hope.

Anger Triad

Voice of Anger (CR 5): Incites rage and vengeance, turning allies against one another with sharpened provocation.

Maw of Anger (CR 5): Brutal embodiment of wrath who escalates violence wherever blood is spilled.

Keeper of Anger (CR 5): Hardened anchor of fury who prevents retreat and sustains prolonged conflict.

Envy Triad

Voice of Envy (CR 7): Sows suspicion and rivalry, whispering of what others possess and what should be taken.

Maw of Envy (CR 7): Covetous predator who steals strength, status, or advantage from its foes.

Keeper of Envy (CR 7): Calculating guardian who fortifies betrayal and fractures alliances at critical moments.

Despair Triad

Voice of Despair (CR 9): Extinguishes resolve, convincing even heroes that resistance is futile.

Maw of Despair (CR 9): Crushing force of hopelessness that drains vitality and the will to fight.

Keeper of Despair (CR 9): Anchors oppressive gloom, suppressing healing, inspiration, and recovery.

Desire Triad

Voice of Desire (CR 11): Tempts with obsession and fixation, bending loyalty and devotion toward ruin.

Maw of Desire (CR 11): Devouring embodiment of consuming want that punishes those who resist their fixation.

Keeper of Desire (CR 11): Jealous warden who binds chosen targets and prevents separation from destructive bonds.

Compatible Products

Hags can be found on any of the fantasy maps.

Wrath of the Dracolich is a one-shot adventure for 6th-level characters, compatible with 5e. The adventure takes place in a frozen land beset by mounting danger, where a hidden cult works to return an ancient dragon to life not as it once was, but as an undead minion of destruction. The journey drives adventurers through harsh wilderness, deadly opposition, and a final race to stop disaster as the ritual strains toward completion.

This is a tool for RPG story design

Inquisitor Kada’s Exquisite Corpse is a toolkit built for you to design a world for RPG stories. This book is written to work for any game you play — if you’re a dungeon master, a referee, or a keeper of arcane lore, you’re a story designer.

Your guide is Inquisitor Kada, and her dying memory is poisoned by the sinners she’s put to the rack.

This is her journal, the enshrinement of her failing mind. You will find her words muddied with false confessions and half-remembered hagiography. Her thoughts are not her own anymore…The Heretic King lies through her pen.

This book is an exquisite corpse 

An exquisite corpse is a writing style where one person writes a line and another person writes the next line. Together, they write a complex story full of twists and surprises no one sees coming. Your writing partner is Inquisitor Kada whose mind is tortured by voices that are not her own.

The book introduces a system for world design that you and your players explore together. Collectively, you'll define the spaces where your story happens and the limits to how far it can go. Then, we (and Inquisitor Kada) provide unique story elements like monsters, items, and locations that you can customize to fit your game.

What's inside

In addition to the design tools, this book includes:

• An alternative vision of the world — Weiroads — to explore and customize
• 27 interconnected characters with illustrations and backgrounds
• 27 monsters with illustrations and lore
• 27 unique items with illustrations and lore
• 9 saints and their hagiography
• 3 cities unique to Weiroads with cultural, political, and religious backgrounds
• 3 unique environments with illustrations, lore, and hex-crawl maps
• Tons of rollable charts for world-building

The Characters

You'll get 27 interconnected characters and 9 Saints with backgrounds and illustrations. You can use these characters as written or customize them for your own story.

The Reliquary

In Weiroads, items and equipment are called "relics," and this book includes 27 of the most sacred and vile relics this side of hell. Each is illustrated and includes lore written for you to customize.

Horrors

No RPG is complete without something beyond the blackness of the vast desert at night — this book includes 27 monsters like Inquisitors and Heretics; hive-minded mutant vultures, and the god of valiant warriors.

The world of Weiroads

Weiroads is a globe-sized supercontinent of endless sands. The land is cursed by dead gods and heretic kings. Folks dwell in ancient cities clinging to the last defensible positions or else cleave to their caravans in the vast desert to survive.

You can explore environments like the ruins of Old Koderynth or "visit" the Inquisitors in the tower of Aklinor to recover forbidden knowledge.
