*** And in ''Reloaded'', where Stone is statted, he's got enough speed backed with his Harrowed abilities to guarantee he'll get the first shot in even on high rank characters or dodge anything less than a critical. And then you add in his specific weaknesses ([[spoiler:he can only be killed either by the bullets that killed him when he was human or by his own hand]]) on top of the need to shoot him in the head. Even ''statted'', he has PlotArmor. The other servitors are no better in this regard.

* {{Wendigo}}:
** Most wendigos are created when a human eats the flesh of another human in the appropriate parts of the country; it can happen to PlayerCharacter types, and according to WordOfGod, it can even happen if the character doesn't know what they're eating. Not that a sadistic [[GameMaster Marshal]] would [[SarcasmMode ever]] trick a PlayerCharacter like that...
** There's also a variant wendigo that is created not by cannibalism, but by food hoarding. If a hoarder causes others to starve to death because of his greed and selfishness, he runs the risk of being wendigofied.
* TheWildWest: Oh so very much.
* [[YouAllMeetInAnInn You All Meet in a Saloon]]
* YouAreWhoYouEat: Oh yeah.
* YouGetWhatYouPayFor: ''Reloaded'' has rules for inferior "el cheapo" gear.

* WhipItGood: Violet Esperanza, chief enforcer WhipOfDominance:
** [[TheBaroness Mina Devlin]] is the ruthless and sadistic [[TheQueenpin rail baron of Black River]] who subjugates her region with a mixture of [[TheVamp seduction]], [[DarkActionGirl violence]], and [[TheDreaded intimidation]]. As such, while she's proficient with many weapons, her IconicItem is her trademark bullwhip, which she's noted to be carrying at all times, and not only
for its symbology, as she's also a LadyOfBlackMagic which means her whip ''is'' actually magical and a deadly weapon on par with a firearm.
** The most elite of
Mina Devlin's Black River Rails. Violet's whip has become rail gangs are the Witchita Witches, an [[AmazonBrigade all-female gang]] of whip-wielding {{Hot Witch}}es who are often DressedLikeADominatrix, with their [[HellbentForLeather black leather gear]] and {{Domino Mask}}s. In particular, their leader Violet Esperanza always carries a Relic, bullwhip as her primary weapon and is often accompanied by her two {{Hellhound}}s which she keeps in check with the whip. She's infamous for her sadistic streak and domineering personality, to the point that her bullwhip eventually became a Relic that is capable of doing more damage than most rifles... but only when Violet wants ''wants'' it to.

The material for ''Deadlands: The Weird West'' is extensive, covering approximately 30 or so full-length sourcebooks. GM's — "Marshals", in game parlance — were widely encouraged to research actual history and folklore to color in the details of their campaign world. Don't think the game's authors were slouches, though. July 3, 1863 was the date of the Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. The interference of these new malevolent forces turned that battle to the favor of the Confederacy, and perpetuated the war for about 15 years. The setting is filled with historical {{Shout Out}}s. In 2020, [[TabletopGame/DeadlandsTheWeirdWest they released a new version of the setting]] where the Confederacy fell during the battle of Washington DC in 1871, due to the [[TimeTravel time-traveling]] shenanigans of the sorceress [[Characters/ArthurianLegend Morgana le Fay]].
