karlhayden Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks everyone. I didn't realize that Aces and Eights actually had supplements. Nor some of the magazine references, and completely forgot about GURPS . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshidude Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking forward to running an epic gun-slinging descent into madness once I finish my trek through a few more of the rulebook scenarios. Has anyone here run Sundown before? I'm trying to decide whether to use it as the opening to DDT or as an epic finale. Can anyone speak to its lethality?

Max_Writer Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Question: owning handcuffs or shackles has come up in the game as some of the characters are bounty hunters. One thing I can't find on any of the numerous equipment lists in various Old West games or online are a price for handcuffs or shackles. I'm probably going to fake it at $5 though I have no idea. Anyone know of any resources for the cost in 1875? Or a rough estimate or guess?

Around 1900 they were going for $7.35. https://books.google.com/books?id=OHgh0mHgrWYC&pg=PA74&dq=shackles+prices+police&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiSy-Gc2MfZAhXHLmMKHYsQDPQQ6AEINTAC#v=onepage&q=shackles prices police&f=false The value of a dollar in c.1900 was $27; in 1880, it was $22. I'd say $6-7 dollars is accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsnouffer Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'm looking to build about 8-10 Down Darker Trails PC pre-gens. Anyone else looking to do the same and want to make it a group effort? Maybe split the work into 3 PCs each? Looking for someone willing to go through the whole PC creation process largely by the book and use the nice fill-in pdfs. Answer here or PM me if interested.

Max_Writer Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 My Down Darker Trails campaign (The Catastrophe Engine) is heading towards its conclusion. Due to complications with schedules, it's broken into two separate campaigns in the last month, but I hope to finish The Catastrophe Engine sometime early next year after roughly two years and about 30 game sessions (probably). Here's what I used for it so far: Prologue - Ill Met in the West The Evil Gun (Blood Brothers) The Murders in Midnight Terror on the Sequoyah Star Dark Tongs of Chinatown Worms! (Deadlands) The Last Valley The House on the Hill (Chill) The Doom that Came to Devil's Gulch (Devil's Gulch) The Abduction of Professor Marion Terwilliger The Beast Under the Bed (Challenge Magazine) The Causal Enigma or Strange Times in Gravity Falls Through the Night (Dungeon Magazine) The Spiral Crypt (online) The Vengeance of Jack Parker The Wolves of Wheeling or A Very Weisswald Christmas Falls Run (Dungeon Magazine for Masque of the Red Death) A Night at Black Knoll Fire of the Orient Independence Day (Deadlands) Unwholesome Expectations Good Thoughts Those not noted are ones I ended up writing up myself. I have one more scenario in the Catastrophe Engine Campaign to get done (the big conclusion). We'll see how it turns out. 2 Quote Call of Cthulhu RPG Journals: http://www.yog-sothoth.com/blogs/2951 Other journals: http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/blog.php/8662-Max_Writer Youtube Page: http://www.youtube.com/user/MaxWriter Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MaxWriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
