The Quick & The Dead is a 1997 role-playing game supplement published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group for Deadlands.
The Quick & The Dead is a supplement in which expanded rules, new character options like the Kid and the Gambler, and magical relics rooted in Western lore are offered. Its centerpiece is a detailed 50-page setting guide, narrated by a fictional journalist from the Tombstone Epitaph. It provides a view of the Weird West, zooming in on Dodge City, Tombstone, and Deadwood, and offering scenario hooks. The setting is laced with postmodern references—like ghost stone-powered super-science in Roswell and a paranormal-investigating Pinkerton Agency led by a mysterious figure known only as "The Ghost." The book distinguishes between public lore and secret referee-only information.[1]
