Hey folks, introducing a new thread for a new edition.
Shoot N' Skedaddle, 2nd Edition is now available!
Having originally started as a simple personal gaming project in 2013, Shoot N' Skedaddle became a retail product in late 2013 with the release of the first edition cards and rules. With some proper feedback, a couple hundred games played and a wonderful showcase at various conventions through the United States, Shoot N' Skedaddle is entering its 2nd edition.
Why a second edition?With feedback from owners and players I wanted to develop a more streamlined, polished version of the game. Increases in my own (somewhat poor!) photoshop skills and a new design direction to make the cards more appealing meant I wanted to do a full re-boot of the game. The game remains quite interchangeable with the first and there are only minor rules changes. In fact if you own SNS already you needn't be worried about buying a new copy unless you want a few different weapons/characters.
Here is the change list for 2nd edition. Some changes I'm quite sure I have failed to list!
- Removed "Coolie" and one "Soldier" character.
- Added Sidekick, Bodyguard as new characters.
- Removed "Disguise" cards from the weapon deck.
- Removed Campaign special cards and replaced with new special cards.
- Heavily revised special decks for both Outlaws and Lawmen
- One of the Cowboy characters now begins the game mounted.
- Revised numerous weapons.
- Added LeMat pistol, 8-Gauge Shotgun, Short Sixgun.
- Removed "Slug" option from Shotgun (not historically accurate)
- Revised special rules for several characters.
- Changed rules for falling and taking damage.
- Removed long range penalty for marksmanship (was seldom used/remembered anyway!)
- Added new campaign system with different tables.
- Added custom character creation rules (actually introduced late in 1st edition)
- Redid the cost methods for characters to ensure they're all in-line with new custom character creation.
- Added optional weather rules.
- Added rules for wild animal encounters.
- Replaced scenarios with new ones.
- Changed rulebook images.
- Redesigned art for all weapon cards.
- Redesigned art for all special cards, both decks.
- Redesigned all art for character cards.
- New dice value page
- Anything else I missed!
New contents!The new contents are shown below. As with the last edition, the game cards (necessary for play) will be available in three different ways: boxed cards, unboxed cards, and PDF printable cards (available later).
What do you need to play? 
Players will need the following:
- A 3'x3' or larger playing area.
- Miniatures and terrain as desired (played any scale)
- A CD or DVD to act as a blast template (you can see one I sprayed in the image above - easy!)
- The SNS decks (Characters, Lawmen, Outlaws, Weapons)
- The rulebook (downloadable PDF)
- A tape measure or two
- Some markers for "moving fast", "wounded", etc.
- A handful of each of the following: D6, D8, D12, and D20 dice*.
- Two decks of matching playing cards.
*The rulebook PDF includes a link at the very end to allow players to order colour matched dice directly from Chessex if so desired.How do I purchase SNS?Purchase links can be found at the blog:
http://shootnskedaddle.blogspot.com/Printed materials will be available thru Gamecrafter, and the PDF version will be thru Gamecrafter and Wargame Vault. Links will be available on the blog itself. The rules are a free downloadable PDF - also available from Wargame Vault or either of the Gamecrafter pages (scroll down to the bottom of the product page and see "Downloads").
Get in touch!With the relaunch of the game, I've re-done the blog here:
http://shootnskedaddle.blogspot.com/I've also added a TurnStyle Games Facebook page to help people get in touch with me, or communicate with other gamers:

http://shootnskedaddle.blogspot.com/2016/08/faqs-and-errata.htmlPrint to OrderFor those unaware, as a single person attempting to design and sell this game I haven't the time/money/facilities to produce a game on a large scale. As such the printed cards and materials are sold through The Gamecrafter, a site which allows for print-on-demand products. As such, when customers place an order there will be a delay (about a week normally) before The Gamecrafter will print and mail their order. Please take this into consideration. While this diminishes any profit I would make it allows me to sell the game without running a small warehouse here myself!
RAFFLEThe winner of the LAF 2nd Edition raffle is the scholar himself,
Mad Lord Snapcase! He will receive a free copy of the unboxed Shoot N' Skedaddle cards.

Snake Oil Expansion! Includes four new special cards for the Outlaws and Lawmen, nine new characters and a new "Snake Oil" deck consisting of ten different tonics and salves, guaranteed* to increase the fighting stamina and prowess of your would-be cattle rustlers!
*Disclaimer: Not intended for use by humans. May cause diarrhea, constipation, internal bleeding, loss of focus, loss of teeth, frequent bleeding, thinning of the blood, and possible dementia.Dec. 12th: Alternate special decks available!These are identical copies to the standard special decks, but feature a different colour on the back, allowing for players to run their own special deck during a game (no need for two Lawmen posses to share a special deck when playing a game, etc.). These decks are 40 cards each, including the four new special cards from the
Snake Oil Expansion. Note that one or two of these new cards require the
Snake Oil Expansion to use.
I'll be updating the rulebook shortly with a few paragraphs to cover the use of the Snake Oil Deck itself.
