Old West board - campaign game...
« on: 29 March 2014, 07:23:24 PM »
Chaps, any of you guys interested in joining in a campaign game idea I have?

We have a range of wonderful towns and collections on here. It would be great to link them in some way. I would be happy to set up a territory incorporating them.

You would be able to game a scenario using whatever rules you use locally , just the outcomes would be fed into the campaign system. There would be various random events to cope with , and a fame/infamy ranking!

Cheers
DD

It sounds like a very interesting idea and I'd be up for it were it not for the fact that my town is still mainly flat packed and my gangs still only part painted!

There are more than enough random events in VC already...but I'm happy to see that the territory looks like, so you can add my town in....

Good idea.

Count me in.
 :D


This sounds like it could be fun.....I do need the town to be situated next to Upsheet Creek (obviously) and have a railroad passing through, though.
Oh, and near some hills, as I have a mine planned.

I'd be in for it - especially if there's a bit of weird west action.

Sure, why not?  I've been about to kick off a campaign with my brother sometime anyway.  Keep us posted with what you plan.

Great idea. My own Schitte Creek would be even further up the creek than Mason's town and Quebrada del Toro near the Mexican border.

Mine (New Silverton) is a little abandoned town located near a narrow gauge railway and a silver mine. The mine had run dry, but a new seam was recently discovered. So the town is a little dilapidated but some stuff is new as people begin returning.

Sounds like an interesting idea.  I've been wanting to do a full "Six Gun Sound" campaign, but never got around to it.  What do you need from us?  You can definitely add my Purgatory to the mix.

Drake's Branch: Normal sized town located near a railroad.

San Augustin: Mexican town just across the border, no special features.

Vulture Creek - a right den of debauchery and vice!  There are more soiled doves in VC than any other town in the West...the most famous establishment being Dolly's.   Gangs shoot it out to control this lucrative action.....indeed the the action being so good....VC is also known for it's near impenetrable savings bank.....

The railroad has so far taken a wide berth around VC, in an effort to refuse the mainly god fearing citizens of the territory ready access to the sins on offer there!

Ok, so if you want your "town" included, list it on here with a little background

Serenity Flatts A railhead town, with large cattle pens. The Cattlemans Exchange is for those rough and tough trail boys. A spur of the rail line heads up to the Mineral hills which bring the miners into town where Johnson's Grand Hotel and the Star compete to relieve the hard workers of their funds with gambling and girls aplenty. The town is run by Doc Sweet and his cronies who have big designs on making it the territory Capitol, and skimming off their share of the proceeds.
