Kind of hard to stunt something that was already pretty stunted...

Seriously, there's nothing in Outlanders that has any impact on Deathlands at all. It's set 100 years later, and nothing in OL references any specific fate of the DL crew.

Beyond that, DL has always been substantially more episodic than OL, and they are both targeted at different audiences. There is some overlap between the two readerships, but really not a whole lot.

What I mean is that the Deathlands future is set in stone because you have the Baronies etc when perhaps none off that happened and Ryan unifed all of the Baronies and became president or such like.

I don't.

If GE ever decides to pull the plug, I doubt they'll "wrap the series up" and give us any kind of "closure". Sure, OL canon states that sometime around 2109, the Program of Unification was started, and then the war followed, and blah blah blah. But that's *Outlanders* canon, not *Deathlands* canon. The DL authors can do whatever they want. And even if you really wanted to split hairs about it, it's only 2102 in DL time, so they've got another 6 years (meaning another 12 years or so real time) before it ever becomes an issue.
