Dust Scream
The Reckoning·Competition group B·All-In · only the number moves
This is an All-In league.Your tag is your character — it never changes hands. After each round, standings re-rank every number: play well and yours drops toward #1. Skip a week and the field may drift past you. The art, name, and lore are yours for good.
When the first competitor fell to the culling, their final scream became embedded in the dust itself. Over time, the accumulated screams of thousands of culled challengers merged into a single supernatural voice that the Deadlands now uses to announce its judgments, transforming every dust storm into a spectral broadcast of death.
The Dust Scream travels on wind currents during dust storms, can be heard but never located - the sound seems to come from everywhere and nowhere. It changes pitch based on the severity of the culling, and carries the names of the recently culled within its wail, making it both warning and pronouncement of the frontier's judgment.
The Dust Scream serves as the frontier's supernatural announcement system - when it screams across the leagues, competitors know someone has been culled and the culling may be spreading to new territories. It creates a series-spanning connection where all leagues share the experience of hearing the land's terrible voice.

Forged
The Deadlands caught a final breath on the wind and refused to let it go. Tag 109 is a cassette tape of spectral throat-clearing, a petty archive of everyone who got strung up at high noon. It doesn’t just sit in a bag; it haunts the air, waiting to announce your demise before you even miss the putt.
AK Kaestner just claimed Tag 109, the Dust Scream. It’s a spectral chorus of the eliminated, folks. The wind’s whispering judgments already. He thought he was just getting a tag, but he’s actually adopted a banshee. The frontier's harsh, but this leaderboard? Downright cruel.
