Thanks for the update! Really looking forward to this product line, but still wish you had changed "Gunslinger" to "Warriors of the Wild West." ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I have plans though. Plans within plans.

This week Gunslinger goes to press! So, I'll post a little preview of final art and text each day this week. Let's start with our main character, the Gunslinger. I like to think of him as the "Paladin" of the game. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt0f70LXAGMFdYjEoBWzcwOuAMXW15-IcytMfQJlh2NwEDjtoCGrQBzkdMKpCJpRg2EnXkVkcywly5EDhz14Zrk24Va-ke1vwI6XFWG0c03Mad8RkDH5WX8Nnr8JZU64zGhEsGeq454PrO4xEYupEFhi1jj65ayAHPLCev_mDYhwMyzvqZ_yvhyFUoKOz-/w306-h400/GunslingerFormatted-10-12.png) This will be your last chance to get the Gunslinger RPG (PDF) at the "Beta Edition" rate, once the full final version is posted it will go up to regular price. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/435804/gunslinger-roleplaying-gameFull rez version

Gunslinger Week: CrittersAnother preview of the final text and art from the Gunslinger RPG. I mentioned previously how much art went into the making of this game, well a huge amount of that went into the critters section. During research for the setting of the 1800's Arizona Territory I came across quite a few interesting legends. Many of these made it into the book, with some modification to make them useful for your own wild west (with a bit of strange science!) campaign milieu.

Strange ScienceOne of the features of Gunslinger is Strange Science. To those familiar with Gamma World (or the classic Expedition to the Barrier Peaks) you'll recall how exciting it was to find some weird unknown piece of technology and trying to figure out how it works. Sometimes to great effect, and other times to disaster! And since Gunslinger doesn't have magic* this is the closest thing to it. As Arthur C. Clarke famously said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." That is certainly true in the Arizona Territory in the 1800's where strange science is involved. For those fans of the genre, there are a lot of Easter Eggs in here I'm sure you'll appreciate. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhws3UTKdd5qFPMTqDUh19eu5LW2BvIjrzqvttNAHAYOUjNAZklGe4gpNPTskKJZsyB8tikuYbDymNPfrfVAaQB4RH4UQe5PVUVqn8zAdFmZvJJHzhwkPukBhg8dzvQGdbZay6jF_5t6srpHCfzp6iQP6XMejwl0Ou0LxhY9nC8dXW04YTwVRMRmr0Cnfo-/w400-h259/GunslingerFormatted-10-82.png) Closing in on those last little details to send Gunslinger to press this week. *There is a "Mythic West" appendix in the back for those who want a little supernatural in their campaign.Link to full rez image here.

Gunslinger Preview - Apache WarsOne of the most fascinating chapters in American history is the Apache wars that went on for decades in the Arizona territory. Many of the most legendary figures of the West, like Geronimo, were made famous during this. War always makes for a dramatic backdrop in a story. And Edgar Rice Burroughs was there for the tail end of this, he penned a couple of novels set amid the Apache Wars (Apache Devil and The War Chief) which were vital reading material to help in creating Gunslinger. They are remarkably sympathetic to the Apache at a time they were portrayed negatively in media. link to full rez version

BTW This is the last time I talk about Gunslinger here, the entire conversation will move back to the Princess of the Red Planet adventure. Yeah, I spent 2 1/2 years making an entire RPG just to make a suitable prelude to the adventure. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
