Accumulated Rules
Great Rail Wars and Brave New World was split off into separate files. Doomtown rulings are covered elsewhere (I think).
This document covers much more then official rulings. It often goes into mechanics, feel, opinions and thoughts about the DL game and even has some information that was cut from books before press. All of this stuff is from the postings of the people on the listserv and where feasible, I tried to keep the questions and answers whole and intact. This file has also gotten fricken' HUGE. I've tried to alleviate the information glut by categorizing and cross-linking references, but this project wasn't started with that in mind - so sometimes information gets put in the wrong section, or may belong in several sections but only make it to one. I recommend a key-word search if you can't find the specific answer you are looking for through the categories. Also, big thanks are owed to Tom Huntington - He Who Delves into Archives That Must Not Be Seen. He pulled up all of the Shane responses on the listserv from before I started keeping track of them in late February. That's about one years worth of posts he dived into, folks.
And big thanks to He Who Is Not To Be Named, alias Wes Anderson, alias dkjedi@sonic.net for putting this document on the web at http://www.sonic.net/~dkjedi/deadlands/ I had intended to allow everyone to put this file on their websites, but he did such a great job with it that I made it the "official" site for this unofficial document.

Disclaimers:
There are several people answering questions on the listserv. In all matters, Shane's word is final. Several other authors of Pinnacle books contribute to the listserv and their comments are included as those of an "expert witness" (especially in matters of their own books). All comments are directly cut and pasted from listserv postings or email that was sent. I make no claims on this document - I just tried to organize it as best as I can as things have come in. I also make no claims about neatness on the web, or on time updates, etc. All I'm doing is saving, copying and pasting responses when I get the chance. Minimal hassle. I try and get the name of the person who asks the questions, but often the responder's email program cuts that out, so you'll see a lot of -?. I hope you don't take this wrong, but if you absolutely must have the actual names for those who asked the questions, you are more then welcome to do the research for me. :-)
