Genre
Historical Fiction
Setting:
Post- Civil War United States, specifically the Arizona/Nevada territory
Synopsis:
Four men have been accused of murdering a pregnant woman and horse thieving. Taking flight into the wilderness, two separate posses have been formed to track these killers down. One is lead by the husband of the woman who was murdered. Fueled by blind wrath, they seek to set the four men to the noose without a fair trial. The second posse, was sent out by the sheriff. These lawful men, seek to set the men before a judge.
Mechanics:
I shall be the narrator/game master and YOU will create a unique character to join either the (a) the suspects, (b) the husband, or (c) the lawmen. The RP shall end once a conclusion to this single conflict is reached. Each group will start at different locations and must choose how to proceed. This game can be cut and dry if the players just want to get down to business, however RPing with the NPCs is encouraged. Interacting with NPCs and environment will all go through me (i.e if group (a) decides to sprint hard for a ridge, they must wait for me to say what is happening to their horses etc etc before proceeding)
Thanks for reading! If there is interest for this, then I'll make a more complete write up and flesh it out legit, but for now I think this is enough to get an idea of what I am brewing :) Please reply!
