New to Savage Worlds
I am sticking my big toe into Savage Worlds to test the waters.
I currently have SW: Adventurer's Edition and the Fantasy Companion. I am very interested, from a GM perspective, in the Deadlands setting. However, as I'm looking through the Deadlands stuff, I'm confused about what I should get. It looks, to me, like there are a couple variants? Deadlands, Deadlands: Reloaded and Deadlands: Noir. I was primarily interested in Deadlands: Reloaded, but noticed in the description (from and external site) it said I needed V3 of Savage Worlds rules?
In short, if I want to run a Deadlands game in SWAE, what do I need to get?
Thanks for your help!Currently DM for the 5E homebrew campaign, Dragonlance: Fury of the Dragons (Sun, 9am-12pm EST) Alternating

More details on the history of the Deadlands RPG setting can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlands
Deadlands: The Weird West (Core Rules Book) is the latest version and all you'd need to play (along with the Savage Worlds: Adventure Edition ruleset). Then you can add stuff from Deadlands: The Weird West, and pretty much anything from Deadlands:Reloaded, with minor changes (and maybe adjusting for the timeline if that makes a difference to your game).Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.
