Old War Horses, Issue 7
Issue No. 7 of Old War Horses introduces two more PCs: Pilot and Mercenary.

Xun Ren is the pilot of the Ning Po and has a bit of a problem - he's dead. Not that not walking around in much of a problem for him. Just don't let that manitou take over while he's flying or there'll be trouble!

Taras Maksim Yan Sidorov is the merc, from a long line of mercs. And he's got something to prove.

Old War Horses, Issue 3
Issue No. 3 of Old War Horses discusses how the Deadlands Reloaded Meta Plot changes in the 'Verse (I totally scrapped it) plus outlines the basics of character creation - all the PCs are Legendary Rank.

"What will happen next is anyone's guess."

[Auld Lang 'Zine] Old War Horses, Issue 1

Old War Horses, Issue 1
Issue No. 1 of Old War Horses was inspired by a song by the Drive-by Truckers, an old podcast (the Rolemonkeys - if you can find the podcasts, then you are fortunate indeed), a couple of fan-inspired Savage Worlds setting conversions (Firefly Savage Worlds and Savage Serenity) and Deadlands Reloaded.

One bit of history: when I wrote this issue, I was still gaming with the Corvis Monkey Troupe. Sadly, I'm no longer in that game group. But I had planned on running this setting for them. Now, several years later, I still remember the good times we had together. Cheers, guys!
