characters in Hell on Earth. Witches are detailed in the Wasted West sourcebook. In addition to the new arcane backgrounds found in Hell on Earth, many of the arcane backgrounds from Deadlands still exist. These include Shamans, Hucksters, Voodooists, and Blessed, and are detailed in their respective Deadlands: Weird West sourcebooks. Current status Although Deadlands has officially ended as its own product line, Pinnacle Entertainment Group has re-released all of the "Classic" Deadlands line in print and in an electronic version. Deadlands: The Weird West saw an update in 2006 as Deadlands: Reloaded. The Reloaded line updates the setting and brings the rules in line with Pinnacle's current flagship product, Savage Worlds. Hell on Earth: Reloaded was released digitally in July, 2012, with a print version to follow later in the year. Reception The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "Deadlands: Hell on Earth continues the trend that the original Deadlands game began, taking the Weird West more than 200 years into the future for a kind of "Weird West meets the Road Warrior" setting with all the fun and weirdness of the original, and then some. There are themes of fighting against evil, rebuilding civilization and man's inhumanity to man but mostly it's a fun game outlaw heroes with cool new guns and abilities fighting mutants and other nasty critters." Game historian Shannon Appelcline, in his book Designers & Dragons: The 90s, noted that "Hell on Earth was the first game to show the cracks in Pinnacle's original Deadlands system. Where the bullet-by-bullet combat of Deadlands had been evocative and fast-paced for a game with six-shooters, it began to bog down with the fully automatic weaponry of the Hell on Earth era."
