Tabletop Story: Journey Into The Weird West for The Devil's Gold

- This animated tabletop story comes from when I ran a game of Deadlands using the Savage World system. My trio of players had to fight their way out into the Weird West, contend with Brother Dalton's Reverends, monsters of the wilds and a reanimated fossil. Enjoy!

“If he rolls a 1 he hits a ally “
Okay that’s not that bad
“On a six sided dice “
Oh that sucks
In Savage Worlds (which is what Deadlands uses), skills are measured by the size of the die you use, from d4 to d12.
I dont get it I'm kinda slow sorry
@Joseph Tarkington I see ta ya so much!
"With an area of effect weapon."
Oh no!
"That can set off all the other area of effect weapons in his inventory."
Aaaaahhhh!
Is it not a one on either of 2d6?
The party arrives at the cave:
"Alright guys lets do this, PROSPECTOOOOOOR JENKIIIINS!!!!"
"Oh my god he just ran in"
At least he´s got chicken
HHHEEENNNNRRRRYYYYY!
FAIL
"Whith dynamite straped to his chest!"
Schroedinger's dynamite. Just totally invented a new magic item.
Friggin genius!
this needs more likes
It blows shit up, but at the same time, DOESN'T.
@@themap5482 now there is a world where he constantly uses the dynamite and it never does anything.
That would make such an awesome item. Every time it's thrown, there's a 50/50 chance it detonates, and there's a slight chance it harms the players. Except, secretly, all of the possibilities happen, we just don't see them.
That adventure almost ended with the classic
"Rocks fall, everyone dies."
I really think it should have...
AHWOOOOOO AHWOOOOO
Prospector Jenkins is that one character that the players love but the characters hate.
Mage: the Ascension character version of that, Botching Billy. I forget just how many enemies he created for the party by trying to fix a problem, and just making it worse. Failing ward keeping a nameless evil back? Botch and rip it wide open. Try to imprison the nameless evil into a bug and make it return to the tomb? Botch and it turns into a giant bug with water powers and the evil in charge. Kill the bug with a falling tree? Fail the knowledge check and drop a Dryad's tree on the bug. And it just kept happening.
That’s a great way of putting it. And now I’m left wondering if I’m that character.
Basically steempunk Megumine.
he sounds like someone i would make
rolling a one is a good thing now
Love to hate, best characters 👌
“Prospector Jenkins and his reality warping dynamite”
This is the name of a movie I would see the day it came out.
I kinda wanna make it now
I would see it before it comes out
@@bloodstoneore4630 Let's do this! I'm pretty sure my dad has a camera we can borrow!
The dynamite only works if it kills you, but they don't know that until a reality-warping dynamite-wielding doppelganger of their arch nemesis appears one day for revenge. How will the gang get out of this one?
5:23 You have to admit, casting spells using verses from the Bible is a pretty interesting and cool concept.
1 Kings 18:38: Creates flame strike. Exodus 9:23: Creates sleet storm *and* meteor swarm. Exodus 10:13: Creates insect plague. 2 Samuel 6:7: Casts symbol (death) on/near a sacred object (requires knowing when someone is going to touch sacred object without permission to work). These reverends can technically do a lot of good if they can use divine power just by quoting the Bible. Then again, this is also a chance for greed and pride.
Any other ideas?
The plaugues in Exodus would really work well
I like the idea of using magic by gambling with spirits.
@@EldenRingplayer407 Ezekiel 25:17: "And you will know
my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee" Probably some damage prayer or some form of hex.
The prospector character reminds me of how our whole group groans when someone says they made a wild mage.
that's on wotc for not making enough socerer archetypes, even PF has a long list of avaliable bloodlines for sorcerers despite trying to be loyal to 3.5
I have never been in a group that did not love having a wild sorcerer
at least wild magic doesn't randomly kill the party in an ape blast 16% of the time. there's maybe a 1% chance of a wild mage doing that. . .
My wild mage has only hurt someone unintended like once thank you very much.
The bbeg now be potted plant
Writer of Deadlands: *hits blunt* “Y’know that one plant that just kinda rolls around and does nothing?”
Other Writer: “Yeah?”
Writer #1: “Let’s just put like a ton of teeth on it.”
Tumbleweed are full of thorns so in a sense they are aready full of teeth.
Also Writer of Deadlands: "I think zombies are getting stale. How do we make 'em interesting again?"
Other Writer: "Fuse a bunch of zombies into one mass of arms and legs and teeth and weapons."
Writer: "Works for me."
Well this sounds like my type of game lol
Other writer: "your the fucking boss..."
Tumbleweed are actually incredibly dangerous, especially in groups. They actually make perfect sense as a monster design, you wouldn't even need to change all that much.
Did you know that Tumbleweed are notorious for starting and spreading prairie fires? They are super light, but also incredibly flammable, meaning that when they light on fire, the winds created by the fire blow them around, causing them to turn into *flaming fireballs of death*!

I love how the ending timeline has so many dead ends with an explosion of dynamite... and even the 4 paths where the heroes continue on have to pass 3 different explosive chances to end them.

What?
I like the idea to let the gambler guess even or odds to decide the fate of the party ^^
Tripple-A Omigosh your right lol
You got know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, learn when to walk away, and learn when to not have a man throwing dynamite into your party.
It's very cool
He who lives by the dynamite dies by the dynamite. Over. And over. And over.
Had a player who actually did that.'
That sounds like something the reverend would say to make a projectile turn around and hit the attacker instead of the target.
ok
easy Pete knows only to well
Etterra Loyal Prospector, take my dynamite and live again.
You call throwing dynamite around a martial art?
Hey, as long as it works.
Didn't seem to generally work that well though. :p
I know that reference!
In this case, all it did was make them already dead a few times over.
who needs gambling magic or holy powers when you have dynamite am i rite!!!!11!!!11
“Even or odd?”
“Even”

“......y-you did it!”
Stephen Lofton 5 is prime actually
M PATH what’s your point?
@@servantapashia7724 primes are not directly connected to even or odd. While it's true that 2 is the only even prime.
@@bl4cksp1d3r incorrect. all numbers are even or odd. An even number is defined as any integer number that can be divided by two. An odd number is defined as any number that isn't even. Thus, all primes, save the number 2, are odd.

@@Heavenlyhounds96 Except the crusader is fighting someone else who's trying to kill him....
Other Gopher to be fair, the crusaders were generally the aggressors during those particular wars. If they didn't want enemies, they could have stayed home...
And before anyone mentions how any one particular crusade was a response to aggression from their foes, that was often little more than the public justification. Many times they were simply a means of achieving the then-current popes political aims. The primary purpose of the first crusade, for example, was not to retake the holy land as commonly held, but was instead called by pope Urban 2 in order to (depending on which sources you believe) a) legitimize his own position as pope, which was then contested, b) unify the western and eastern churches by coming to the aid of the Byzantines (who were of the Eastern Orthodox Church)or c) keep the Muslims out of Christendom proper by attacking the Seljuks in Anatolia (their taking of which from the Byzantines being the catalyst).

As someone who lives in utah I can confirm I have to fight reverends like that every time I'm in Salt Lake City.
its a bloody battle every time I visit family
Since i happen to be catholic, they didn't quite like me either. I strangled so many of them with my rosary...
Mormons don't have reverends. But. Jokes will be jokes.
Try dinamite
@@TheMormonatorChannel meh, just have them replaced with bishops and its mostly the same joke
The way I describe Deadlands is as follows :
Pretend Wild Wild West movie lived up to the things you imagined when you first heard about the movie concept years ago. Now crossbreed that with Tales from the Crypt.

BBC News reports: The next book in the popular children's book series "The reanimated T-rex fossil" that is coming out this Christmas, will be titled "The reanimated T-rex fossil and prospector Jenkin's reality-ripping dynamite".
I'd buy it. Hell I'd buy 10.
definatley would read to my kids
The fact that there's undead tyrannosaurus rexes in this game make it the best ever.
The whole concept of a magic spirit gambler dude is just really cool. That's the lesson I learned from this video. :P
deadlands is awesome
After every timeline split I would have introduced recurring weird undead monsters that look like clouds of cinders in humanoid shapes. Always in threes, hunting the party to make their implausible reality 'right'.
hmmm. Rolling dice behind a screen, asking "even or odd" then talking about alternate realities? Nope, nothing suspicious there!
I think that's the joke. I bet he didn't even look at the die, just trying to fake out and give the players the satisfaction of a real victory _Without a real victory._ Which honestly, is some shenaniganery.
Lost Melody in the original video he said he looked at it
Schrodinger's dynamite
It also depends on what the players were looking to get out of the game. As a DM, I can understand opting to do something like this in order to give my party of story driven role players a better end, a grand finale to the epic tale. On the other hand, a different playgroup may prefer to take a more challenging and rogue-like approach to the game, in which case they would have been rerolling characters after the shoot-out with the reverends.
"Even Or Odd?"
"Yes"
"What?"
"What?"
Recognising this from the first video, i couldnt help myself from shouting aloud
PROSPECTOR JENKINS GRIMM SERVANT OF DEATH !

what was that last part?
n-nothing just prospector jenkins.
I do not believe you
I find it weird how he rolled a d8 in the first video, but now it's a d6
It’s a good thing that pastor fighting with bible verses didn’t hit him with Ezekiel 23:20

That Reverend should have quoted Acts 28: 3-5...
3 As Paul gathered an armful of sticks and was laying them on the fire, a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, bit him on the hand. 4 The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other, “A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.” 5 But Paul shook off the snake into the fire and was unharmed. 6 The people waited for him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw that he wasn’t harmed, they changed their minds and decided he was a god.
“Just so you know, Jeff, you’re now creating six different timelines”
“Of course I am, Abed”
Lol
7:45 I guess you could say...

I made a dnd character that was inspired by this video, where my character was a gambler with some homebrew rules where i draw a card from a deck and it would cast a spell. It was pretty fun
I get that feeling of not wanting to kill your characters right at the start. I'm currently running a campaign that I homebrewed where the world is loosely based on the lovecraftian mythos. During the beginning my players were hunting the members of a cult who had been causing a lot of problems in a town. They eventually tracked them to a burial mound in a clearing and when they approached the mound hordes of twisted eldritch abominations started pouring from the woods. I had originally designed this to be wave based combat where they have to fight all the waves and then after the waves were defeated the boss who was asleep underneath the grave mound would come out and fight them. But instead one of my players decided he just needed to go into the grave mound mid combat so he goes in and sees the beast sleeping and goes to stealth past him. Rolls a nat 1. Wakes the beast up and the party now has to fight the boss and the waves at the same time. I ended up cutting the waves down significantly because I simply didnt want the players to die right at the start of the campaign. I sorta regretted it sorta didnt.
I don't blame you in the least. I once heard about a campaign where the DM threw a baby basilisk at the party early in the first dungeon they entered. It turned them all to stone within ten minutes of them starting the campaign, meaning the whole thing was now over and they failed miserably.
Here's an idea you can use: A wizard with exceptional telekinetic powers. His powers are so strong, he defeated and subdued the Elder Gods, and now uses the power of their dreams to affect reality and cast magic. His name is not important, as it cannot be pronounced in this mortal language.
Call of Cthulhu might be what your looking for for Eldritch Lovecraftian horror
This might sound a little nerdy but I kinda want to see more deadland stories.
Well you're certainly in the right comment section to sound nerdy. Also same.
Well there is the long version of this video on his channel
You ought to watch the long version; it's much better.
6:23
Should’ve said “just as Moses, I pick up the snakes and they become staffs.”
Playing a game with two Grim Servants of Death. Wish me luck.
How'd it go?
I’d also like to know how it went
Probably got hit with the bad ending of shrodingers dynamite
So how did that go?
Well it ended prematurely due to the Marshall losing interest but it did cause a chaotic first battle with two party members getting caught in an explosion on a train car along with a bandit.
If Borderlands and Outlast 2 had a hate-child, this would be it.
edit: I mean that with love.
No red dead redemption and outlast 2.
What an explosive ending!
Prospector Jenkins really has a explosive personality.
Another one bites the dust. Diamonds are unbreakable
Wow ur here too?

I grew up in Salt Lake City, just like how I remember it
I love this setup, but there is one glaring issue: Utah was primarily settled by Mormons, who aren't/weren't into the whole soapbox preaching thing, and dont have positions like preacher or reverend.
I think we used to do it a lot more than we do now. I know Cleon Skousen (a popular LDS historian and speaker) shared a story of doing so in England.
Though, I suppose there wasn't much need to do so in Salt Lake City, where everyone was already a member, haha. Maybe those preachers were Baptists?
@@richardgenck2692 A morman in the wild!? Observe it's curious nature while you can. A rare sight indeed, everybody remain calm as not to spook this gift from mother nature.
It is implyed they came when the, well demons did.
Maybe they were in an alternate timeline?
@@GavrielTGK Well, they did get off a train, so the people on the train would (most likely) not be members. But I think the alternate timeline works better.

Okay
Fun fact of the day, there are less mormons in SLC than nonmormons.

What's funny is in reality the only people who stand on street corners in SLC shouting hellfire and damnation are the anti-Mormon preachers.
*large cache of gold underground*
The Mormonator Channel now but not at the time of this story. It would have been 90% Mormons.
I've played D&D for over 20 years, and watch more UA-cam videos than I care to admit. However, this story is so classic that I remember the first version of this story when you did the voice for Jenkins, and the bandoleer. Thank you for the re-upload. It brought a smile to my face, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time around. :)
You should've just said from the beginning he had Schrodinger's Dynamite. Though it could be abused since the GM always chooses one of the innumerable quantum states the universe now exists in that involves the players remaining alive.

I miss my Deadlands character, I had a Jewish Paladin with his "followers" from his charisma which became known as the "Tribe of Merry Jews" who would protect the weak and punish the evil, while looking like Shakespeare's Shylock meets Indiana Jones... My DM was really specific that if I was gonna pick a Paladin class, I had to pick a REAL religion... So thanks to Blazing Saddles, Deadlands was why Chaim the Paladin with Saul his sidekick and his tribe of merry jews was a thing...
All the praising of Jesus Christ in the campaigns, seemed to demand that I have a Paladin of Abraham in the Wild West gone Lovecrafty/SciFi/SteamPunk -- and thanks to Mordacai (Bluegrass song) the wandering Jew, my DM coudln't argue that an immigrant Jewish "Paladin" could exist in that world.
You know, sitting your DM down in front of the TV and showing him The Yiddish Cowboy (Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford) would have done the trick as well.
Speaking of Bluegrass, are you familiar with Kinky Friedman? (Check him out.)
I had to invent the Judaism on the fly else I likely wouldn’t have had to work so hard to explain how I was being facetious and not trying to make an “edgy antiemetic” character, and a Paladin of Judaism sorta sounded actually neat and novel for the setting.
Most of my tabletop experience was either while on deployment and none of those stories are sane or safe enough for public consumption to tell without explaining a lot of context of why vets are weird fuckers... And then when folks needed someone to sub in for a week or two when their normally consistent player had to be out.
I’d actually taken time to pick each name for the followers the character could earn and have assist him and came up with a dead relative who each follower got their Hebrew name from, all in like a 1.5hr “learn the system and make a character then hurry up and jump in” time frame.
It’s the only character sheet i was proud enough of how accurate and literally silly due to the setting it was. I was sad I was only a fill in with Ha-Shem Chaim for three sessions :(
omg this is just awesome 😂
in a similar setting but in 1100 Europe, I played a catholic priest who had a mace except that instead of a regular hammer and shaft, I had an ironbound bible attached to a mechanism that I could open using the handle so I could open and read passages for spells one minute, then close it and bash a heretic's head the next.
there was also the spell Radiant fire which is a cantrip for clerics, and I used that often. essentially I was shooting fire and reading passages while bashing an enemies head in. even managed to drive off an early encounter with the main antagonist while fending off undead.
+Bernard Black - The Deadlands Paladin equivalent class really gets OP with the followers thing, I ended up having to come up with partial character sheets for 7 Merry Jews and keep consistently thoughtful and conscious of not picking the “first common jewish sounding thing” cause by the last session, everyone was mad that their dice luck sucked and even though mine did to - At leafy 2 of Chaim’s merry tribe had good luck >,>

I really like the older longer un animated video about this. It's a shame it was taken down since it had many of my favorite Western Themes for films and TV.
The new episode of alternate history is great
Billy reminds me of a friend of mine during a D&D game i GM'ed. We were running from a horde of enemies when he rolled a natural 1 on his athletics check, so he tripped and hit his head on a sharpy rock. another player ran back and picked him up (the character was a halfling) and immediately rolled another natural 1, also hitting his head on a sharpy rock. those two characters died.
I can't stop watching these damned Puffin Forrest videos!!!
I'm offended that there aren't more of them...
I watched the deadlands video a while ago and really enjoyed the story. Good to see it summarized with some artwork.

Dojaaaaaaaaaaaan
After playing in a deadlands campaign myself I can confirm that even without grim servant of death, any nearby characters or party members having explosives is practically an omen of bad luck.
I mean in the very first session I did for deadlands, one of my party members thought it was a good idea to use dynamite on a train, near the fuel cart. Which derailed not only the train but the entire campaign up to that point, because we crashed it in the middle of nowhere, with no way to resume the originally planned story, and having the closest town being in the center of a massive deadlands. Which if we went to would basically be like walking into our graves as new players.
"REALITY RIPPING DYNAMITE" Thats the greatest thing i have ever heard hahahaha i loce your videos man your the best!

"What?"
"P-prospector jinckins!"
Deadlands is easily one of my all-time favorite RPG settings. I've played and DMed it a few times and love that you're covering it again.
to quote my first dm after we were almost killed by a pond fighting a water weird (yes, by the pond, not the elemental, we all flopped the swim checks) "I don't want you to die because of bad luck, I want you to die because you are stupid"
Been there, done that!
... on both counts. =)
I played a session of deadlands once. I actually ended up with a character similar to jenkins (this video may have subconsciously influenced me, idk). But instead of hitting allies on a 1, my prospector was min maxed to do melee with his pickaxe, and his only ranged weapon was the dynamite.
It made fighting the zombie sheriff really fun.
Oh God I loved this story I'm so glad it's got a full animation!

When the explosion caused a tear in the space time continuum, I knew this was going to be a good story.
Dude your voice is so danm relaxing and the animation is humbaling love falling asleep to these vids nught!
Yup. Dynamite. Anytime it's ever shown up in ANY game...it's ended in blood and tears. Every. Single. Time.
It sucks when you want to express your imagination but you and your friends don't know how to play DND .
I mean if you want to play, I am a DM who runs online, I operate over messenger and can teach you. I'd just need time to prepare a few things in the coming weeks
I know how to play DnD. That is why I play Runequest.
That's what LSD is for, my friend.
@@svennoren9047 i cannot imagine how these could be compared
@@shadeslayer6374 Well i'm interested if the offer is still up
This is definetly my favorite story out of all of them.
I remember that older video. It was incredibly funny even without animations. Your videos are great.
“I like to think about there being two realities there. One where the D6 I rolled didn’t matter and I chose to kill the party, and one where the D6 I rolled didn’t matter and they rode off alive.”
Fixed that for you, bro ;)
PROSPECTER JENKINS! (grim servant of death)
Lol Leroyyy!?
@@KellyKro Leroy is descended from "Prospector Jenkins, Grim Servant of Death!" ....I think.
I like that there is an army of preachers in salt lake lol. Also the idea there would be a saloon in salt lake is pretty laughable. Perfect setup "Glittering, shining, .... gold" it should have been splendor!
Reminds me of when my roleplay group played the At the Mountains of Madness module for Call of Cthulhu. Before we even got to Australia, we failed Every. Single. Roll. to stop the saboteur from destroying the ship and we all died. Our DM had to retcon it as a prophetic dream so we could actually finish the campaign which we still had the majority to get through, heh heh
