The End is Nigh: Deadlands
Fear Level 6: Deadlands
For my “The End is Nigh” terrain challenge entry, I will begin producing a full-blown nightmare landscape, known as a Deadland, in the award winning, Weird West, Deadlands RPG setting, as well as the Great Rail Wars miniatures game and some board and living card games, by Pinnacle Entertainment Group, first published in 1996 and still going strong with it’s Reloaded version using their Savage Worlds engine.
In the setting there are some evil spirits that are attempting to turn the world into a true Hell on Earth by causing more and more fear throughout the land which causes even the landscape to warp. The end goal is the world to become a Deadland at which time these spirits can freely walk the earth.
While the core game is set in the Weird West, there are a few spin-off settings set in some alternate futures, such as Deadlands Noir, Hell on Earth, and Lost Colony.

I have been planning this for a while now, even picked up some “bits” during the after-Halloween sales last year, and I think this competition is just the kick in the tail I needed to get started.
Now on to the project.
