To The Players of My Upcoming Deadlands Reloaded Campaign

The Following Are Some notes that I recently made about things that I want to introduce into our game-play experience.

Part of the Character creation in Deadlands Reloaded requires that you make note of your character's greatest fear. I also want to know each Character's greatest weakness, and greatest vice.

I want to use a group template for this campaign, and I'm hoping for more consistency of players.

I want to try having Players describe their own Character's failures.
I want to try having Players describe what their Characters see (Expanding on a basic description that I feed them).

I want to encourage note passing character to character, and characters to GM

I want to use some advice that I read, and pay attention to the player's character sheets to help me in planning sessions.

I need to ask a lot of Why questions.

I need to make things happen to the characters that cannot be ignored.

I need to Read Gumshoe and Implement the Investigative theory of that game into any investigatory plot points of the campaign.

I know there are other things as well—I'll Amend the list when I remember them.

For instance—I remember some talk on one of the pod-casts I listen to about a three by three thing—wherein character back stories are tied together from the beginning by three things of one type and three things of another type, or something like that, but I can't recall the details.
