The Black Circle: Unholy Alliance, written by John Goff for Pinnacle Entertainment Group, details three of the Weird West's major villains, their organizations, and the far reaching conspiracy that loosely ties the three together. Although set in Weird West, this sourcebook is not just for those who play Deadlands. Any game in need of a far-ranging conspiracy or a set of ready-made of villains will find useful material in this well written sourcebook. While most of this book is designed with gamemasters in mind, a section detailing Blood Magic for player character members of the Whatley clan provides advanced players with an intriguing new option for their games. The members of the Unholy Alliance are the Black River and Bayou Vermillion Railroads, two of the major players in the Great Rail Wars, and the Whatley family, originally introduced in the Doomtown collectable card game and Doomtown or Bust supplement. More recently, the Whateleys have been major players in the latest three-part series of adventures by Pinnacle Entertainment Group (Ghost Busters, Rain o' Terror, and the forthcoming Dead Presidents). Neither the Great Rail Wars miniatures game nor any of the abovementioned supplements or adventures are necessary to understand or use The Black Circle, which is designed as a stand-alone supplement
