Post posted by Libertad! Original SA post. Savage Worlds is still a relatively new system, and Deadlands got upgraded to it under the new Reloaded line in Although there were one to two page side encounters and free online content bridging the 2 year gap, Deadlands Reloaded was lacking a proper adventure on its own, much less sourcebooks of any kind.
And when it came to published modules, the Weird West had a problematic track record of the worst of 90s metaplot. Coffin Rock defied these expectations. It still holds up strong a decade later, and I ran it on three separate occasions in introducing gaming groups to Deadlands. My Groups: I established hooks for my 3 playthroughs for the PCs to stay in town. The third group was originally passing on by, but the depressed new Mayor Hambly deputized them once the crooked Marshal was killed for the fact that there was literally nobody else suited to the job.
The Lawmen group did not complete the adventure, only getting in 2 short sessions before real-world priorities disbanded the players. Introduction Coffin Rock is a mining town that fell on hard times. So named for the oddly-shaped rock formation peering over the nearby hills, its rich veins of copper mines were the primary source of income.
When the mines dried up, Mayor Daly committed to the Sunk Cost Fallacy and continued buying up failing mines in hopes of literally striking it rich like in the old days. Over time more people left town to the point that so he began paying them just to stay in the town.

He was even desperate enough to bring in Marshal Bryce, a crooked lawman on a power trip, who had little desire to improve the community. Things turned around when a new Christian sect known as the Brotherhood of the New Covenant settled in the area. But upon hearing about the monstrous labor force made him open to working out a deal. Our adventure begins with the PCs riding into town for any variety of reasons, being open-ended in whatever way the GM believes will encourage them to stay rather than high-tailing it for the hills.
