Oh, and we do not condone shooting anyone in the back (unless it is necessary, of course...).

We leave that kind of behaviour to the likes of Blood and Tarquin......


Ah! That Tarquin,a "shoot first,ask questions second,fear don't enter into it" kind of hombre,I remember him now  ;) :)

Not to forget his mean attitude towards barrels, either.
Barrels don't like it when Tarquin 'comes a callin'....'
 ;) :D

I always find it gratifying when someone describes Fistful of Lead games as "fun" first. Even better when you can get great stories out of a game.
We have an Apache named Yellow Knife. If the player controlling him remembers to say. "Yellow Knife cannot be killed by White Man's bullets" before anyone shoots at him, they always seem to miss. In 20 years the guy hasn't died unless the player forgets to say "Yellow Knife cannot be killed by White Man's bullets". Or a Mexican shoots him. Or he gets stabbed. Or blown up.

You can thank the jerk 25 years ago at the convention who pissed me off enough to write Fistful of Lead.

SciFi version on it's way.

Sorry for the thread stealing. To answer your question: as fast as I can type and playtest. Having one this Thursday. This will probably be a Kickstarter to help pay for the upfront costs of the rulebook, cards, etc. Probably no miniatures this time. There's plenty of SF minis out there.

Fantastic table and AAR, CONGRATULATIONS gentlemen!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

My game group used to have an Apache figure named "Chief White Feather" that in game terms had a really big save if he said something like "White men bullets and blades can't kill Chief White Feather!" as a curse against the shooter before being shot... He endured more than a decade of Victorian adventures... before being beheaded by a deaf Vampiress with a single strike of her long talons... OUCH!!!  lol

No problem, if you need some additional play testing done I know a bunch of LAFers who'd be only to happy to help out  ;) :D

I can vouch for the fact that they'll certainly push the game to its limits!
