Weapon CardsThis set of illustrated cards shows common weapons of the Weird West, for use with the Deadlands roleplaying game published by Pinnacle Enter tain­ment Group.

Only .weapons .dating .up .to .and .including .1877 .has .been .included, .since .1876–’77 .is .the .standard .setting .for . the . game. . A . card . is . not . provided . for . every .weapon, . largely . because . no . suitable . illustration .could .be . found . for . some. . A . few . weapons .are .also .completely . fictional, . and . nothing . “close . enough” .was .available .to .use .as .a .substitute.In .order .to .reflect .the .real .weapons .better, .some .of . .the .game .statistics .and .rules .were .slightly .modified .from . those . published . in . the . books . mentioned. .In . case . of . a . conflict . between . card . and . book, . it . is .recommended .to .use .the .rules .and .data .on .the .card.

Weapons . use . the . game . statistics . from . Law Dogs, .which . are . slightly . expanded . compared . to . the .Deadlands: The Weird West Roleplaying Game .main . rulebook . and . also . differ . somewhat .from . those . in . the . Weird West Player's Guide. .When . using . the . latter, . any . weapon . with . .a . Speed . of . 1 . should . have . its . rof . increased . to . 2, . .the .Speed .should .be .ignored .for .all .other .purposes, .and .the .Damage .of .shotguns .should .read .“special.”

COPYRIGHTSThe . cards . were . created . by . Gurth . ‹gurth@xs4all•nl› .in . 2010 . using . illustrations . from . a . variety . of . Internet .sources. . Certain . pieces . of . text . were . taken . verbatim .(or . almost . so) . from . Deadlands . books . and . Wikipedia. .Rights . to . all . of . these . rest . with . their . original . creators . or .subsequent .copyright .owners.

DISTRIBUTIONNo . commercial . purposes . are . intended . with . these . cards. . .As . such, . they . may . be . freely . distributed . in . both . electronic . .and . hardcopy . forms, . on . the . conditions . that . they . are . not .changed .in .any .way .and .no .profit .is .made .off .the .distribution.

Printing The CardsThe . equipment . cards . are . intended . to . be . printed .out .at .Ἄ6 .size .(14.85 cm × 10.5 cm, .or .approximately .5.85″  ×  4.1″). . The . easiest . way . to . print . them . .at . the . correct . size, . is . to . buy . paper . of . this . size .and . insert . it . into . the . printer’s . feed . tray. . Refer . to . .the .manual .supplied .with .the .printer .to .determine .how .to .properly .place .the .paper .into .the .feed .tray .and .set .up .the .printer .to .use .this .size .of .paper.

PAPER WEIGHT

To . increase . the . durability . of . the . cards, . it . is .recommended . to . use . a . greater . weight . (thickness) .of .paper .than .regular .printer .or .copier .paper.Do .not .use .paper .thicker .than .the .printer .can .safely .handle; .as .before, .refer .to .its .manual .to .determine .the .maximum .weight .to .be .used.

PRINTING ON A4 OR LETTER PAPER

To .print .the .cards .out .at .the .correct .size .on .Ἄ4- .or .Letter-size .paper, . it . is .possible .print . four .pages . to . .a .single .sheet.

The . following . illustration . shows . the . necessary .printer .settings .to .do .so, .marked .by .the .black .boxes:

(The . example . shows . a . Print . window . from .Mac os x; .pdf .viewers .on .other .operating .systems .are .likely .to .be .similar, .but .not .identical.)

Once . printed, . the . cards . should . be . separated .before .use. .This .is .easiest .to .do .with .a .paper .cutter . .so .that .the .sheets .can .be .easily .cut .down .the .middle, .creating .four .cards .of .Ἄ6 .size. .Lacking .a .paper .cutter, .scissors . or . a . sharp . knife . and . steel . ruler . can . also . .be .employed. .In .all .cases, .take .care .to .avoid .injury.
