Questions about Pulp Cthulhu and Deadlands


Off-Topic Discussions


I'm asking these here because I'll get a quicker response than in the 3rd Party thread.

I have a friend who is wanting to learn to run Pulp Cthulhu and Deadlands but isn't sure what books she'll need. Do either of them use the Savage Worlds mechanic or will she need a different core rulebook for each of them? I'm not familiar with these games so I can't answer her questions. Thanks, everyone!

My understanding is Deadlands: Reloaded uses Savage Wirkds but Pulp Cthulhu does not. That said, SW is flexible enough that with a little work your friend could adapt it to a Pulp Cthulhu setting in a Deadlands context.


That's pretty cool. Thank you!


Oh—and there were d20 versions of both Call of Cthlhu and Deadlands, if your friend is more familiar with that system.

My group has played d20 CoC before but I didn't know about the d20 Deadlands. I'll let her know. Thanks!
