Played my first Gutshot!-game yesterday - a home-brewed scenario heavily influenced/inspired by .45A (encounter-markers).
I shall be posting a couple of pics this evening, and if anyone should be interested in the scenario, I have it as pdf. ;)
First Gutshot! impressions:
Very nice gameplay; the activation system with drawing slips (we used coloured poker chips) gives a very unpredictable flow - which makes heavy pondering about what to do next obsolete.
Fast paced game, and the players picked up the basics VERY quickly!
Being who we are, we had two times snake-eyes, followed by another double one (catastrophe!) - both times a weapon exploded and killed off the character - leaving the field to the third participant who, of course, won the scenario lol
That being said, this should happen VERY rarely, and everyone agreed on playing again as soon as I have a new scenario ready.
I already ordered some Pegasus cacti from Model Hobbies in the UK (and a gothic ruin, but that's another cup of tea), and am probably going to get some Atizan mexicans to pester the players with ;)

Looking forward to seeing some pictures. I love Old West gunfights :)

I think they are great. Like .45A they add a lot of RPG-feel to the game, but at the same time they are really fast-faced and chaotic (in a cinematic sort of way). You can really create movie-like scenes with a lot of things going on in a random manner (you randomly draw action slips/tokens for the characters, events, NPCs, each chararacter has 3 (or sometimes 4) action tokens per turn, so no igougo).
I was much too busy playing and running the game as Game Marshal to take pics, but I took 2 which I'm going to upload in a couple of minutes... or so...

So, here we go, not much to see, and the board is not so pink in real life:
This was just before my rifle blew up in my (The Rat's) face and killed me off:

And this was just before Mad Mike's pistol did the same to him, leaving Pistol Pete to collect the loot lol

Not a big game player myself so pardone me padner if this is a dumb question but what is the base without a figure for? Is that the invisable cowboy lol. The board looks cool.

It's an encounter marker - not usually used in Gutshot!, but I'm a fan of the Ratttrap system ;)
Take a look at the scenario, and all shall be revealed :)
