I haven't received Blood in the Sand yet but decided to order Desperados & Sunset at Silver Creek. Rolling the dice and hoping the games are worth it.

I got a lot of positive feedback from the first one; Desperados is new but I did my best on it as well. Thanks for playing! |

I'm looking forward to playing the games, I'll provide any feedback afterwards. |

One quick comment on Desperados, why are the horses the size of Shetland ponies? In the other games horses are 2 hex counters.

Horses are more relevant in GSD, and yes, they should be two hexes!". |

It's time for a new Western! I'm still hashing out the ideas. I was thinking of perhaps something based on the movie Pale Rider. Either that or maybe the show Bonanza. Any ideas for a plot or setting?

Any ideas for a plot or setting? "Deadwood", lots of historically characters, Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane & Seth Bullock. Something based on "Outlaw Josey Wales" or "True Grit". |

Perhaps something to do with establishing national parks like Yosemite (1864, Abraham Lincoln). Or maybe Major Powell exploring the Grand Canyon. Lewis and Clark explored 1804-1805, which just barely makes it in the era.
I think the trick is to either find someone/something that you are looking for, or running from. A mystery like the ones in Sunset at Silver Creek and Blood in the Dust could be nice too.
Or what about the Cope and Marsh dinosaur wars?

Some suggestions from Boot Hill 3rd Edition.
Discontinuous Adventures
Some samples of the types of adventures a discontinuity can lead to are:
• Characters come across strange tracks in the wilderness which lead to a hidden valley or a subterranean world populated by dinosaurs and cavemen.
• Characters riding across the wilderness suddenly come upon a valley they've never seen before with a smooth, black tower rising ominously from the ground.
• Wagon trains are disappearing in a remote area and Indians come into town talking of strange and savage creatures living in the hills.
• A silent, brooding foreigner drifts into town, and then townspeople begin disappearing, or turning up in the morning, drained of blood.
• The characters are captured, accused (rightly or wrongly), tried, convicted, and hanged, only to be launched on a series of weird and surreal after-death adventures.

These are all fantastic ideas! However, I think George wants an historical/real life scenario.
Edit: I emailed George to ask him what he thinks of supernatural or anachronistic elements in the adventure.
Edit: After talking to George, we decided to go another direction. But thanks for the ideas!

The next Western will be about the Bone Wars between fossil-hunting rivals Cope and Marsh.
