I receive Dracula's America as a Christmas present back in 2021. As I was neck deep in Shadow Deep at the time, I put it to the side. Finally, I've broke it back out and have decided to give it a go.
I also would like to incorporate more games and story telling elements into my gaming/modelling/painting. Maybe something like Texas Rangers of the Shadow Deep... So, anyhow, this will be a mix of Old West, Weird West, Dracula's America, etc. etc.
So, here's some local Roughs/cowhands/Ranchers to start me off. All of these minis are from a Kickstarter Mark Evans did a little while back.
Every one knows that Hal Mcbride was a ornery, mean ol cuss. But most folks don't know his horse was even meaner. Nightmare, as he called her, bit the nose off of a Deputy down near Pine City. The bounty on the horse is now 35 bucks.
El Relampago once avoided and eliminated an entire posse of the Tom Bell Gang with nothing but his scorpion knife, a bottle of Mezcal, and a tin of chew.
William Bellinger survived and escaped the horrors of slavery shortly before the War of the States began. He immediately volunteered for the Union and by the end of his service, had earned the rank of Second Lieutenant. A capable and disciplined man, William moved out West to escape the violence. But has he?
Lester Jones ain't allowed in the Last Chance Saloon no more on account he ain't paid his tab. $1.25 for whiskey, and two dollars to Ms. Kitty for 'services rendered'.
There ain't been a cell built that could hold Jonny Stone. A few Pinkerton boys had him shackled inside a rail car while they transported him back to Yosemite to stand trail. Not only did he escape without a witness, but he was spotted back in town, cavorting with the Sheriff's wife, that very evening.
Marshal Virgil Dodson claims he took down Duke Holland's gang and buried old Duke himself just south of the bell tower at Boot Hill. Hell, they even wrote up a story for them newspapers back east. But, let me let you in on a little secret. That there coffin only held some barbed wire and a dead goat.
Rumor has it that Micky Dinger shot a man (and his dog) just for snoring.
Stinky Pete, as the legend goes, was shot up while trying to cheat at a game of Stud Poker. Now, he roams around, always looking for his lost Ace. Miners say that if you spot him, you'll die within the week.
