The newest arrivals at the Drunken Prospector Saloon simply wanted to drink their problems away. Their gang leader had led them to rob the Transcontinental Express, but the job had left him dead and no money to show for it. The 6 survivors had just gotten their drinks and sat down when the saloon's doors swung open and the local sheriff walked in, gun drawn. He'd been tipped off that two of the survivors were willing to turn in their gang in exchange for a pardon. And so began another Gunfight in the Saloon...

Gunfight in the Saloon is a RTD that combines ideas from the card game Bang! and an old RTD called Six-Shooter. Each player starts the game with a hidden alignment, with the exception of the sheriff, and a six-round pistol. Each alignment has a secret condition that must be met in order for that player to win.

Spoiler: Alignments (click to show/hide)

Sheriff: The head of the law in the town. Everyone knows who he is, thanks to the shiny star on his chest. His goal is to eliminate the Outlaws and the Renegade. (1)
Deputies: These men want to keep the Sheriff alive and eliminate the Outlaws and the Renegade. Deputies may win even if they are dead. (2)
Outlaws: These three men only want the Sheriff dead at all costs. As long as one Outlaw is left standing, all Outlaws win. (3)
Renegade: This man wants to survive, and be the last man standing. He needs everyone else to die in order for him to win. (1)

Alignments will be determined randomly at the start of the game. A D6 will be used to determine the success or failure of your actions.

To join, simply submit your character's name and some sort of characteristic/quirk they have. This will determine some sort of modifier you will get at the start of the game.

Allow me to try.
EDIT: Ah, yes, name and quirk. Um... Jack Spades. It's hard to kill him, but he's otherwise got terrible luck.

[OceanSoul]

I'll be Shouts-with-Bow. Yes, that means semi-stereotypical Indian. Might just be my bloodline, might be more, we'll see.

Edit: oh yeah, characteristic or quirk. How about he lets his gun do the talking for him? He's no English Language major, if you know what I mean...

[Madman198237]

Hmmm...Is this meant to be as fast-paced as the forum game you linked?

Anyway...as for a character:

Samuel Crank
This grey-haired old former prospector never struck it rich, though he's lived long enough to earn a few names, including the one he now uses as a surname. He's got an eye for people and their trustworthiness, which he's developed over a lifetime of dealing with potentially shady people.

I wonder how this quirk gets tallied up....

[PaPaj]

Garry Maxwell
a black haired,blood red bandana wearing,basically,what you would expect from a shady guy,also he has a glass eye

Its meant to be a faster pace than most RTDs, although it will probably last longer than that one did. Here's the first time I ran this, for reference.

Will rolls to shoot people still be the same? If so, then it seems this could be a little too fast-paced. I'd say, if anything changes, that sixes are fives that wastes extra ammo, forcing the player to reload before they shoot again, unless they had a full barrel, in which case they only get an extra shot. Also, maybe low ammo should make lower rolls empty out your gun, also requiring a reload.

Posting to watch. I love Bang, especially the expansions (I can't remember what they're called right now) that contain Curse ( I better not play Dynamite while that's active), Blessing (barrels are invulnerable!), and Ghost Town.

Sadly, since this didn't get enough people to sign up, its probably not going to happen. I may try again sometime in the near future, but I'll need to rethink how I do that.

[Glass]

[Madman198237]

Feel free to run it anyway?

[johiah]

Sign me up!
Name: Johiah
Quirk: Lazy

Well, I can always reduce the number of roles to make it work with 5 players, since you all still seem interested in playing this.

Last time when I ran this people dying too fast wasn't a big problem. I like your suggestion, but I'll probably won't implement unless this first round goes too fast.
