Rather tha n com mandin g hordes of troops, players typically have but a single figure, their "c haracter". With these figures the players recreat e the individual gun fights, saloon brawls, and Wild West action as handed down to us from the pages of history - and the celluloid of Hollywood westerns. Generation after generation of American youth has grown up with tales of cowboys, Ind ians. Indian fighters. and outlaws to ente rtain them - first in dime novels, then in movies. and now through television (although the book and movie are still there also). So while the "western" is by no means unique to us, this form of Wild West act ion is. Before play begins. the participants will roll percentile dice to determine certa in cha racteristics of their figure. His reflexes. aim. cou rage . and previous experience will all have direct bearing on the outcome of any confrontation which ends with smoking six-guns. The players then go about the actions appropriate to their chosen roles in the game - or the roles assigned to them by the game referee - more or less letti ng the nature of the Wild West take its course. Within a turn or two things begin to happen, and before long all hell has broke n loose. In fact, Clint Eastwood westerns are somewhat mild compared to a typical BOOT HILL game! These games can be played as single events , each unrelated to the next (except for the experience which the characte rs might have gained. or the substitution of a new personal figure due to the incarceration or demise of a former one during the course of the previous game). It is better if games are strung together as an epic of action , with the whole taking place in some general locale and past happenings being reflected more directly in each successive game. Larger scope ca n be given to either sort of play if players are given some henchmen - a band of despe rad oes, a bunch of cowpokes , a troop of cavalry, a war party of Indians , a deputy and a posse. Showdowns? Dry gulching? Range wars? Vigilantes? Yep , pard. it' s all here. BOOT HILL offers basic rules for quickly gra sping how the game is played. There are advanced rules which require more skill but which enhance realism. Finally , there are special sections and appendices for true Western buffs to allow closer simu lation of the actual (or imagined) happenings of the Old West. Time to stop all this palaver and saddle up. If we hurry. we can head 'em off at the pass! E.

  • Gary's Clarifications
    Gary’s Clarifications When I saw the Zagyg’s Wisdom super-thread on Dragonsfoot, I thought what a great idea it was to have a section where Gary answered questions about D&D and offered clarifications and interpretations about the game he created. And if he isn’t around to answer more questions, at least we can benefit from what people asked him when they had the chance. Reading through the thread, it occurred to me that all these clarifications could be gathered up into a single document for easier reference, sorted by category. Steve at Dragonsfoot liked the idea, so I got started…and found that sorting them wasn’t as neat and easy as I’d expected. I’ve had to make a lot of judgement calls: for instance, should a question about true neutral clerics go under Classes or Alignment? So I apologize if the organization of this document seems a little haphazard, but I’ve done what I could with it. There are a very few posts from one category that I copied into another, but for the most part I tried to make a single choice and hope it was the right one. I’ve included some categories that aren’t exactly D&D or that wouldn’t be relevant to every campaign (Greyhawk, for example), but they’re in their own sections so they can be ignored by those not interested. These “related” sections are generally unsorted, as they didn't lend themselves as well to discrete categories. In the interest of keeping it short, I generally removed people’s greeting remarks (“Hi Gary,” etc.), though I left in whatever Gary said in case it should be helpful in assessing his “gut feel” reaction to the question.
