I backed Hard West on Kickstarter earlier this year. Same guys who worked on Call of Juarez, tactical style game that looks a little X-Com ish. Okay, it's Weird West, so there will be monsters and other weird things, but it's still going to be a damn tactical western game!  ;)

That sounds like it is going to be an interesting game!  Keep us updated.

I just finished reading the rules for Outlaws.  Hope to try my first game soon!

Doomtown really has me intrigued with its depth.


Ahhh!


After checking it out, I buckled like a belt.  Looks like another fun LCG and the scuttlebutt is good.

The "Wild West" is greatly overlooked as far as gaming goes. A shame really as I think it would be a fantastic setting for an indepth role playing game.

  I'm going to Texas for a few days.  The last time I went (this is true) my father handed me a cowboy hat full of crusty blood and said, "We have to go fix a septic tank."  Without a word I put on the bloody hat and got into a pickup truck that had a few shovels in the back.  I figured the blood would help the hat stick to my head no matter what.

  So, I haven't played a cowboy game in years, but I sure would like a good one.  When I get back in a week or so.

I'm about 25 min's south of Salado (in Georgetown).  I'd be happy to meet you and buy you a drink if you'll have the time.

  I'm doing a quick visit to my old Dad with the wife and kids so no time.  I'm sure I'll be back some time soon with more time to spend.

   Thanks for the invite!

So no time to set up and play a Historical ASL module then eh?  Well fine.   :P

Yeah, for sure - let me know the next time that you'll be down this way and we'll get together.

I actually have Alpha access...hmmm...perhaps I should see what's there?

So why is this?

  So hold on there.  Here's a cowboy game of sorts.  Sounds good.  I may look into it when I get back from New England.

Call of Juarez is fun but just be aware that it is just a FPS on rails.
