Part 1. While traversing the ash- and dust-choked Deadlands, four adventurers take refuge in a strange house. Sheltered from the ominous storm brewing outside, they learn it is the day of a folk hero's funeral... and they just stepped into a family affair that could shape the world's fate. FORECAST: mystery, treachery, and slippery conditions.
This time, we have watt, the creator of the game system, as a special guest GM!
