About the adventure
Three gunslingers stand over the ancient weapon of a fallen hero, revolvers held upon each other in a Mexican Standoff, silently contemplating which of the others' bullets are silver. A pack fights to free the town from the grip of a cattle baron, whose personal tastes run darker than beef. Atop a speeding train, an engineer compels the smoke-belching spirits of the railway itself to combat a medicine man's summoned ancestors protecting their homeland. These are the sorts of stories we will tell together in the Wyld West.

About me
With 19 years of GMing experience, I run player character-driven games where PC decisions can determine the entire course of campaigns--with ripple effects that sometimes even I can't anticipate (which is when I get most excited.) I specialize in historical games, with deep research into the era and an eye for accuracy. I don't run games on rails. I create settings interwoven with PC backstories and populated by NPC's who each have their own nuanced motivations, perspectives, limited information, and schemes, which are all dynamically influenced by the actions of both the PC's and each other, which can make things delightfully unpredictable as EVERYONE is forced to improvise. I especially love intrigue, horror, and involved roleplaying, but also snappy dialogue, the nitty gritty of tactical maneuvering, and character creation.

Creating your character
Characters will all be normal werewolves of some sort (and considering the character ideas so far, will need to at least be able to work with Iron Riders.) The starting rank and such will be determined collectively during session 0.
