I forgot to shout out about the latest episode of our #TotOw actual play, released yesterday. It’s the start of a new story so a perfect jumping on point. And it was recorded only recently, so the rules are pretty much what you are going to get in our KS. share.transistor.fm/s/76ac5a15

Went to see boy’s end of Foundation exhibition and picked up some stuff to start moving him out if the flat. He made this gut the exhibition but in the end decided it was the wrong scale for his wall. I love it though and I think I see @johannohr.bsky.social inspiration there

Bruce is one of our patrons and stalwart champion of the game at conventions. Possibly the most experienced GM so far. Here he talks to Raldanash about running the game. youtu.be/HWSqs2344YY?...

A new Western RPG: Tales of the Old West - a GMs perspectiveyoutu.be There other Wild West RPGs out there: Deadlands, Down Darker Trails, Fistful of Darkness... What have they all in common? They are all "weird", mixing horror tropes, Aliens, Vampires, or mad scientists into the narrative. At the UK Games Expo #ukge2024 I sat down with Bruce, a prolific GM who has run lots of "Tales of the Old West" sessions across various UK Conventions. He shares his insights and inspirations. Comment, like and share! "Tales of the Old West" (#totow) is a Year Zero Engine #ttrpg that plays the West straight as a six shooter. Human greed, a harsh environment, the desire to preserve or build a way of life provide plenty of RPG potential. I liked what I saw so far and had the chance to play the game at last year's UKGE. Would you like to see an actual play? Leave a comment. You can download the "Quickdraw" here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/480951/Tales-of-the-Old-West-QuickDraw The Crowdfunding is planned for later this year.

It’s Friday, and that means a new episode of our #TalesoftheOldWest playtest. This one starts a new session/story so it’s the perfect jumping on point (well it would be perfect if certain people weren’t trying to quiet eat biscuits) #YearZeroEngine share.transistor.fm/s/ae825c02
