Chris Peers has recently released a new set of Wild West rules, The Law of the Gun.
We asked him to write us a little run-through of how it plays. He's done that, and we've published it in our free online magazine.

I'm afraid the days of tossing money at any new rule set that comes along on spec, or just to fill shelf space, are long gone, Nick – for myself, and I imagine, most others. I need to know that a prospective rules purchase actually satisfies my personal gaming needs before opening my wallet. To that end, and if it isn't too inconvenient, a few more questions have occurred to me: 6. It looks as though TLotG is a more narrowly focussed development of AGDtD, with the units of 1 – 12 figures of the latter scaled back to 1 – 4, and more characterisation in its depiction of individuals (skills etc.), but much that's familiar (gunmen being the equivalent of killers, I presume, and so on). In the example, the four 'bad guys' are said to be fighters. Presumably this means that, as per AGtD, all members of a unit must be of the same grade. 7. How many grades are there, and what are they? 8. Which grades can be assigned skills? |
