I'm not too well read on Deadlands and not very invested in the particulars of the setting. Are your players invested? Because I don't think you need to do that much legwork to make the whole Civil War thing shake out like it did in real life, but now there are also zombie cowboys.

North America still being a lovely war torn Hellhole is the point though. Are you running Hell On Earth? Because if not, roll the setting back to the Classic Line timewise and have the war STILL being ongoing. Or have the North win but at the cost of a couple of states (Utah/Mormon land, California, and either Texas/North Carolina as part of their tratiors reward).

Or hell, just do what your planning. CSA is now the loving Empire from Star Wars.

I will have no truck with any setting that doesn't allow for mad science :colbert:

There still is Mad Science that is done by friendlier (but sometimes crazy, like Gun Spirits) Tech Spirits. Also they rightfully hate Nature spirits.

Hell, Gundam would be perfect as well, the shows already tend to be about regular people being thrown into a war just because one of the sides involved needs more bodies in mobile suits.

bonus if you are a teenager or early twenties.

Even before the whole GG thing, the Escapist ran ad pieces disguised as interviews and articles , wherein the ACKS creator aimlessly attacks D&D a bunch while plugging his own system, pretending it was all just another news bit. It wasn't morally wrong, but it was disgustingly shameless.

Online Journalism, particularly entertainment online journalism is complete and utter garbage. gently caress even Jezebel isn't just clickbait rage, but native ad breeding group and it's feminist website meant to talk about issues not Hollywood Press Release site 2.0.

With FTC actually clamping down on this, it's interesting to see what new form this is going to take because it's pretty much the bread and butter to these people.

No one would've really given a poo poo (because backing a crowdfunding thing isn't that big of a deal really), but GGers were making a big deal about a journalist writing about someone while pledging to their Patreon, yet silent about this thing because I don't know shut up.

There was some muttering about it, but they got mad about someone on their side lying about their girlfriend hitting them for supporting GamerGate.

They also got pissy at Slate for not disclosing their affiliate links until the writer learned about it on twitter.

EDIT This is why talking about GamerGate in any capacity is dumb because both sides only get mad at selective times about selective things, depending on were their internet attention is that day.
