I recently ran my Deadlands: Reloaded posse through the old Adios, A-Mi-Go! Dime Novel. If you would like to check them out, my conversion notes are posted on RPGGeek. I also have my campaign notes posted on Obsidian Portal for those of you interested in reading how it went.

This is brilliant, brother! Adios A-MiGo might be my favorite Deadlands module that I've never run, and I'd been struggling with what to do with my players next week!

Your timing couldn't have been better! Very Happy

I'll be sure to post how it goes!

Thanks! I highly recommend reading Lovecraft's The Whisperer in the Darkness before running the adventure. I wish I had re-read it to have it fresh in my memory; I think I would have played the mi-go better.

One of my favourite roleplay moments ever came from Adios-a-Mi-Go.

Two words that brought the whole gaming table to a standstill.

I just discovered that Lost Sons has a new little adventure with New Jerusalem and certain fungus-based life forms. I am gonna have to get that book! My statistics probably won't match since I was totally unaware of the new adventure at the time.

Just wanted to update you on how my session of this went!

My posse took on this adventure at Heroic tier, with New Jerusalem taking the place of one of the glyph spots in "The Flood". My reasoning was that the weakened veil between worlds--upon which the mi-go built their gate--were caused by the glyph itself, leading to the towns appearance.

The stupefying virus proved dire even at the very start, as a few failed rolls dropped my wife's Hopi shamaness just as the posse was investigating the Brain Cylinder chamber! This made for a great combat as the group had to fight off the mi-go workers while trying to grapple her and sedate her with morphine, all while the poor brains-in-jars screamed for the release of sweet, sweet death.

Successfully sedating her shamaness, the group secured my wife's character, and I let her play Oliver Pickman for the remainder of the scenario. Shes a huge Cthulhu buff, so when she saw his true identity, she just smiled ear to ear.

The party managed to avoid the black ooze fairly easily, but the entire place was on alert when they managed to make it to the gate chamber. But, the party's adventure cards really did the talking here! Our scrapper character played a card preventing any Soak rolls until a joker was dealt and, wouldn't you know it, I went for 5 rounds of combat without pulling a single joker. As Pickman stayed behind to destroy (and use!) the gate, the posse managed to escape into the night...

The group's Mad scientist, however, proved to be the MVP! Not only did he manage to secure one of the mi-go frost projectors--which he's now using as an Infernal Device, with his first Legendary edge--but he also managed 2 raises when trying to rescucitate the shamaness, curing her intellect-wasting sickness.

My posse, as mentioned, just hit Legendary tier and have one last glyph to find before knocking on the Right Reverand Grimme's cathedral door...

Have you submitted these notes to Pinnacle? I'd love to see them as an official Deadlands Classic to Reloaded Conversion.

That's too bad, I was hoping that since Pinnacle owns the scenario and is still selling it that this conversion would be able to become official. But oh well, at least we have this.

I ran Adios A-Mi-go! at my FLGS and had a lot of fun. The best part was when the posse was getting frustrated with the lethargic townspeople. It came to a head when they went to the bank and found out that the townspeople just left the vault open. The Huckster got real angry and desperately tried to get a reaction from them:

While at GenCon I picked up a copy of The Last Sons. I've updated my conversion notes to include references to that book and keep things somewhat canon. The statistics still don't match, but they are more in line with each other in my opinion. I submitted the pdf to BoardGameGeek but I don't know when it will be approved. When it appears, it should be marked as version 2.00.

Oddly enough, the way my posse ended the adventure is very similar to how it went down officially. If they end up there later or in another game using the new New Jerusalem adventure in The Last Sons, they should recognize it (and man, will they be pissed at Oliver).
