You can play straight pulp, but my favorite way to do it is to emulate Robert E Howard's style of play, and there are some essays in the Companion book that talk about this. I bought in for the original kickstart years ago, then picked up the Companion book and pretty much everything written for the game. In essence it is similar to my other OSR RPG's like Warriors of the Red Planet and Freebooters, I am also becoming increasingly influenced by some of the mechanics I like from 5th edition.Īpologies if I come off as a fanboy here, but I stumbled upon Amazing Adventures long before I knew Jason and it's a fantastic game, so I thought I would take a few minutes to gush about it here.Īmazing Adventures was originally released as a "pulp" RPG. Here is the working document, it is still super rough, but came together surprisingly fast. This allows focus and also a deep dive on one particular tribe: the White Mountain Apaches.Īlso Tombstone where the OK Corral is located is just a hop skip and a jump south of Fort Graham if you want to dive into that fascinating lore. But it is also a great location with rugged terrain, a cavalry fort, and where the Apache wars took place. The reason for this was that is where A Princess of Mars begins.
So with Gunslinger I'm bringing the focus to one particularly notorious territory: Graham County Arizona. There are hundreds of notorious characters, gold rush towns, native tribes, and so much history to go through. One problem I find with Western RPG's is that there is so much lore. I'm providing the text free to anyone interested, you are welcome to comment and suggest. In the intro to that adventure I found myself writing a mini Western RPG.
This is being pulled over from another thread where I was discussing turning the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel A Princess of Mars into an Adventure for classic DnD, OSR Retro-Clones like Swords & Wizardry, or Warriors of the Red Planet.
