Weird Frontiers RPG

I can't say enough about this game! I'm in love with so many of the character classes, and my players had a hard time choosing because the classes all have something that makes them special. Keep in mind this is a DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics) compatible game, but you don't have to have any other books to play. The rules are a little more crunchy than what I'm used to with DCC, but any judge with a few games under their belt can plug and pull whatever they want to make the game their own version of a weird west RPG. If you want advanced guns there is a really cool section that gives you all you'd ever want to know, but the author also includes a list for firearms that help keep it simple. There is a light backstory, but you're not going to find it overbearing, and I like the fact that there are plenty of tables and charts to help me build my own towns and adventures. The book comes with two full adventures and we had a lot of fun with the funnel (0-level) Death Crawls West.

This might not be your kind of game, but we're definitely having fun with it, and at 900 pages you can tell the author wanted to give you the full Monty! I can't wait for the upcoming adventures to drop for this gem of a game!

Dark Trails RPG - Bootleg Edition

I was lucky enough to play in one of the sessions for this game during the online Con Goodman Games hosted several weeks ago. The author was kind enough to give free codes to Dark Trails judges to hand out to their players to better help the flow of the session (more eyes on the rules, less stress on the judge). I had a blast playing the game (lots of laughs and creepy encounters). I'm relatively new to DCC, but so glad a friend convinced me to try it! I've always loved weird west games, so Dark Trails definitely was a must try during the convention! You won't find a better group of gamers than you do within the DCC community

It's taken me a few weeks to have time to go through the Bootleg (it's beefy), but now that I have I can say I'm really excited at the potential for the world the author has created. The classes are really cool and some of the mechanics really help give the game a western feel with the gun deck probably being my favorite.

I liked it enough to back it tonight, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is!
