Introduction
Howdy pardner! Welcome to WilD6West,
the rootinest, tootinest doggone game in
the West. WilD6West is powered by the
most excellent Mini Six Bare Bones Edition
by Antipaladin Games. Download it from
their website www.antipaladingames.com,
its still free I hear. Id like to take this
opportunity to say a few things before we
get started.
WilD6West is intended for and written as a
gritty western style adventure role-playing
game. There may be the odd ghost tale or
curse, but the supernatural has little power
in this version of the West. So, if yer
lookin to kill vampires, werewolves,
mummies and zombies, or build giant
steam powered airships that fly to Mars
through the Aether, look elsewheres
hombre. There are many mighty fine
games where you kin do just that, but this
here game aint one of em. But please, if
you so desire to incorporate such
mechanics, especially from the other awe
inspiring works also based on Mini Six for
SteamPunk, Victorian horror or science
fiction, feel free.
women, First Nations, Asians, Mexicans or

any other group to whom such unfortunate
epithets are all too often applied. To be
sure, such words as those rhyming with
bike, hunt, itch, Julie, bigger
and others will not be found in this
manuscript.
Those familiar with Mini Six will recognize
the games format. The default combat
style is Fast Static (with minor
modifications that you can ignore if you
choose) rather than the Traditional D6, but
both will fit. Also, the default damage
system uses Wound Levels rather than
Body Points, but you kin use either.
Among other divergences from cannon
include the concept of Lethal and NonLethal damage, as well, youll note that
firearms are a heck of a lot more
dangerous in WilD6West than you might
be used to. Thats cause guns kill people,
and one bullet is all thats required to put a
man down for good. If thats not heroic or
cinematic enough for ya, feel free to turn
down the firearms damage a pip er two.
Now, lets giddalong little doggee.
While I am no American History buff or

Wild West aficionado, I have done some
readin and borrowin from many sources
written by folks who are. If them folks see
somethin familiar in these here pages,
please keep in mind that I aint makin a
cent offa this and imitation is the highest
form oflattery.
I would also like to warn those readers
who may be sensitive to some of the racial,
cultural and sexual issues and prejudices
unfortunately endemic to those (and these)
times, some of the language used may be
offensive and fer that I apologize. Words
like Injun and whore and negro I
felt, although powerful and demeaning in a
certain context, when used in a game
about the Wild West to create
verisimilitude, will hopefully be seen
solely as just that. Such speech in no way
reflects the authors attitudes towards
Attributes and Skills

GRIT: a character's might, physical
strength and stamina. The damage you
inflict unarmed, and the damage you add

to most handheld weapons, known as your
Basic Damage, is equal to your GRIT plus
any additions from Perks or LiftinSkill.
Your Soak, or how much resistance you
have against physical punishment is equal
to your Grit.
MOVIN': one's agility and dexterity, as

well as speed and reaction time. Your
Pace, or how fast you can run is equal to 10
plus your 'Thletics Skill roll. Your Initiative,
or how fast you act in combat is equal to
your Movin.
THINKIN': yer brains, learning,

memory and senses.
GUMPTION: a combination of will

and spirit but also charisma and
personality.
Skills
GRIT Skills
Brawlin': fighting with your hands and
feet. No specializations.
Fightin': combat using handheld weapons
like knives, swords, clubs, axes and
spears.
Liftin': can never be more than 3D greater
than your GT. This Skill represents feats of
strength like lifting heavy objects or
bending bars, lifting gates. Every D in
Liftin above your GT Attribute adds +1 to
yer hand to hand Damage. No
Specializations.
'Durance: stamina, health and ability to
tough out physical hardships and
deprivation.
MOVIN' Skills
Archery: usin' a bow and arrow.
Big Guns: this refers to the firing and
maintenance of military style ordinance
such as cannons and gatling guns.
Dodgin': gettin outta the way. No
Specializations allowed.
Pistol: shootin a thumb buster.

Ridin': traveling on horseback.
Rifle: slingin a long iron like a
Winchester or a Spencer.
Sneakin': moving around real quiet like,
ambushin', not bein' seen.
Thievin': stealin', cheatin', gettin in and
outta places you shouldn't.
'Thletics: sports (none of the fightin' ones
mind you), runnin', jumpin', climbin'
Throwin': rocks, lassos, spears, knives
and so forth.
THINKIN' Skills
Craft: Smithin', carpentry, tannin',
undertakin', gunsmith and so on.
Doctorin': bandagin' a wound, treatin' a
snake bite, sawing an arm off.
Engineerin': using technology available
or just slightly ahead of its time.
Specialties include Demolitions, Mining,
Steam Engines, Construction etc.
Gamblin': Playin' games of chance and
calculating odds, also how to beat those
odds fairly or otherwise.
Know-how: this Skill covers regular stuff
that someone in the age or the Wild Wedst
should know unless they're a tenderfoot,
greenhorn or tin-ear. Basics like how to
care for your horse, which way is east and
how to mend your socks. All stuff that don't
fall under none of the other Skills but still
require a roll. Think of it like common
sense, or just gettin' by in the West.
Learnin': things you learn outta books and
fancy schoolin'. This includes stuff like the
Sciences, Philosophy, History, Geography
and a lot of -ology's, and -ography's that
they teach tenderfeet back east.
Perceivin: includes Sight, Hearing, Taste,
Smell, Touch, Searchin', Trackin', Spottin'
an Ambush and so on.
Savvy: your ability to read people and
situations, to tell if someone's bluffin' or get
a hint of danger before it happens.
Survivin': Gettin's by outside the confines
of civilization. Finding shelter, food, water,
useful plants and so on.
Palaver: is the language Skill, every D you
have in Palaver gives you fluency in a
language. The first D has to be your native
tongue (English, Spanish, French, Chinee,
Apache etc). Each pip less than a D you
have in a language means you have a -1D

penalty when tryin' to communicate or
understand that language. Your languages
have to be picked out ahead of time, and
increasing your Skill includes deciding
whether you've picked up another
language or improved upon the ones you
have.
increase ones Fast Static scores by 1 pip

against one roll, at the cost of one
Character Point per pip. By spending
three you can roll an extra Wild Die
without any 1 consequences. They may
not be used to aid or lower someone elses
roll. Also, they may not be used on any roll
also affected by a Hero Point expenditure.
So a cowboy with 2D Thinkin and no

additional D in Palaver knows his native
tongue (English) fluently at 1D. He knows
some Apache at 1pip, and Spanish at 2
pips. If he wanted to communicate in
Apache, say use Wiles to negotiate over a
horse, hed be at a -2D penalty if the
exchange was carried on in Apache. If he
wanted to use Seduce on a beautiful
Mexican girl, hed be at a -1D penalty.
Trying to communicate without knowing
the language puts you at a -3D penalty.
Second, they may be earned more than

once per session per Complication.
Normally a Complication used during a
session earns you a Character Point, but
only one. In WilD6West, there is
something called the once, maybe twice
rule. If a second situation occurs after the
first Character Point has been awarded
that is more worthy of an award than the
first, the GM should feel free to award a
second one.
GUMPTION Skills
Art: Paintin, Drawin, Sculptin, Writin,
Potry and the like.
Command: this is yer leadership Skill,
getting people to do what you tell em
because of yer authority.
Handlin: your way with of all kinds of
animals, beasts and cattle.
Intimidatin: staring down or trash talking
your opponent. Beating their Guts roll
lands them a penalty on their Actions while
theyre facin you.
Guts: Your courage, your iron, what keeps
you from runnin' from a fight or a
dangerous situation.
Performin': Singin', Dancin', Playin' and
Storytellin'.
Wiles: your wiles and influence over other
people. Negotiatin', Deceivin', Persuadin'
and Seducin'.
Will: Your self-discipline and ability to
endure mental hardship.
Thirdly, if the GM assigns a situational

Complication resulting form a WilD1
(rolling a 1 on the Wild Die), a Character
Point is always awarded.
Luck
Some situations can only be resolved
through chance, the lucky succeed, the
unlucky dont. No Skill or Attribute
predominates. In such a circumstance Luck
is the operative factor.
A Characters Luck is determined using his
current, unspent Character Points and
Hero Points. Each Character Point adds a
pip, and each Hero Point adds a D. So if
you currently have 5 Character Points and
1 Hero Point, your resulting Luck equals
2D+2.
Hero Points and Character Points can be
spent on Luck rolls to improve the
outcome.
Character Points
NPCs always roll 2D for Luck.
Character Points are earned and treated

the same way as in the Mini Six Bare Bones
Edition with a few minor exceptions.
The Wild Die
First, they can be spent to increase the

result of any die roll by 1 pip, or to
A one on the Wild Die (WilD1) results in

the highest rolled dice plus the Wild Die
excluded form the total. Under certain
circumstances such a roll may even trigger
a situational Complication administered by

the GM. In that case the player is awarded
a CP, but must face the music.
A WilD6 (a 6 on the Wild Die) permits that
die to be re-rolled and added and rerolled and added until the result is not a
WilD6. A WilD1 on these re-rolls does not
subtract from the total nor does it trigger a
situational Complication.
Complementary Skills and

Lendin a Hand
Some situations can be handled by more
than one Skill. When this occurs consider
the Skills Complementary, that is, they
help each other. Pick the primary Skill,
either taking the best one or the one that is
the most applicable and roll it. Then you
add the bonus from the Complementary
Skills.
All Complementary Skills are also rolled,
each 6 rolled adds +1 pip to the primary
Skill result. Three pips can be treated as
an entire D. If a 6 is rolled on the
Complementary Wild Die, then add an
entire D to the primary Skill result.
The same rules can be used when a
number of people are cooperating to
achieve the same end. The primary actor
rolls his Skill, and add the other
contributors Complementary results to his
roll. Really large dice pools can default to
a single +1 pip per 5D, the remainder
rolled as above.
Whether or not a task is amenable to
Complementation and by how much is at
the discretion of the GM.
Wild West Combat

Draw!
The standoff is a classic trope of any
Western campaign. Its as much
psychological as it is physical. Opponents
may try to Intimidate one another, failing a
Guts versus Intimidation creates a 1D
penalty against all Actions and Initiative
and lasts for a number of rounds equal to
each 10 or fraction thereof the victim fails,
or until the source of that fear is put down.
Thus failing by 6 nets -1D for 1 Round,
failing by 11, the penalty lasts 2 Rounds.
Gunslingers can sacrifice accuracy to
improve their draw speed. Before
Initiative is rolled, the shooter must
declare how much he wishes to increase
his Initiative by, preferably in increments
of 5 or 10 to make the math easier. This is
added to his rolled Initiative and applied
to the first round only. Thereafter his
Initiative decreases to its rolled value.
The amount the Initiative is increased also
increases all TN to hit for that round, thus
faster means less accurate.
An Initiative roll in excess of 20 allows the
attacker one additional Action in the
Initiative countdown, 10 Initiative counts
lower in the Round. Above 30 allows 2
additional Actions at 10 and 20 Initiative
counts lower and so on. Action Penalties
still apply. So, rolling 32 on your Initiative
permits you to Act on 32, but also on 22
and 12 if you choose. Anybody else who
rolled less than 20 can only Act on their
rolled Initiative each cycle. Every Action
beyond the first still draws an Action
Penalty however.
Damage
Weapons in WilD6West inflict two types of
damage; Lethal and Non-Lethal. NonLethal damage is typically inflicted by
blunt or non-edged, non-penetrating
weapons. So fists, clubs, hammers and
pistol butts are considered Non-Lethal
while swords, axes, picks, spears and

knives are considered Lethal. All firearms
are considered Lethal as are all
explosives, fire, electricity, falls, drowning
and pretty much any other environmental
damage.
Injuries from Non-Lethal Damage can be
reduced by one step by electing to take a
Stun instead. The number of Stuns you can
accumulate is equal to the number of D in
your Grit Attribute. Once that has been
reached you are rendered unconscious for
2D minutes.
Injuries from both Non-Lethal and Lethal
Damage can be reduced by one step by
voluntarily taking an appropriate
Complication such as One-Arm, Lame,
Blind, Ugly and so forth, representing the
maiming and scarring that occurs. These
new Complications last as long as the
recovery period for the injury they
replace, for example Wounds require
several days, Incapacitation weeks, Mortal
Wounds lasting months. For fatal wounds,
the Complication is permanent, whether or
not these Complications can be bought off
later is at the GMs whim.
Exceptionally high rolls still inflict greater
damage. For every ten and fraction thereof
rolled above the target TN, add another D
to the damage.
Wound Penalties are unchanged except
that Stun effects (-1D penalties) last until
the end of the scene or until Doctored,
whichever comes first.
New Fast Static Dodge, Parry and
Blocking Rules
Defenders that are not Dodging, Parrying
or Blocking have a TN of 1 to be hit. This
usually occurs when a character is
surprised or helpless. The usual range and
cover modifiers apply.
Dodge
When using Dodge as your Defense TN, if
the attacker doesnt beat the TN, he simply
misses, inflicting no harm. The only down
side to Dodge is that you must have the
freedom and mobility to do so, thus being
trapped, entangled or unable to move

negates Dodge. Whether Dodging a chair
swung in melee or a bullet fired at range,
your Dodge TN remains the same. You
cannot Dodge an attack you dont know is
coming, but you can Dodge an attacker
you are aware of, even if you cant exactly
see where he is.
Parry
When using Parry as ones defensive TN, if
the attacker misses it is assumed that the
parrying object deflected the blow.
However, if the attacker hits, the defender
has three options.
The first option is to take the damage
against his Soak as per usual.
The second option is to sacrifice his
weapon instead of taking the damage
himself. The attacker rolls his damage
normally but instead of facing the
defenders Soak, the damage is matched
against the parrying objects Durability.
Durability for weapons usually equals their
damage modifier in pips. Thus a Bowie
knife might be 4, a spear 6 and so on. This
is modified if the weapon is exceptionally
well or poorly made, or in already
damaged condition. Any other objects
Durability may be calculated based
roughly on its size and composition.
Usually hand held things are a Lift TN of 1
to 4, plus the inherent Durability of the
object (wood 4, iron 6 and so on). Thus a
wooden chair might be a Lift TN of 3, plus a
Wood durability of 4, yielding a value of 7.
The tables for the Durability of objects are
presented in MegaSix, the SuperPowered
Game for Mini Six. Its probably just as
easy to make it up as you go along though.
If a pistol or rifle is used to Parry, consider
their Durabilities to be 4 and 6
respectively.
If the attackers damage exceeds the
parrying weapon/objects Durability, each
point above reduces the objects
Durability by one. If Durability reaches
zero, the object is destroyed and any
excess damage is resisted by the
defenders Soak.
A weapon that isnt damaged is

automatically subject to option three. The
third option a parrying defender can use,
either if he doesnt wish to damage his
weapon or take damage himself is to lose
the weapon; it is knocked out of hand or
bashed aside such that an Action must be
taken in order to use it again, either to pick
it up or to right it.
Parrying is only good for melee weapons.
Your Parry is reduced by 10 for slow
moving missiles (thrown objects or
arrows) and by 20 for firearms. If youre
unaware of, or cant see your attacker you
cant parry a missile at all.
Block
When using Block as your defensive TN,
you are interposing a part of your body
(not a weapon, shield or object) between a
more vital part of your body and the
attack. This doesnt work well against

ranged attacks or against melee weapons.
Against a melee weapon (other than brass
knuckles) Block is reduced by 5, against
slow missiles Block is reduced by 10, and
against firearms Block is reduced by 20.
You cant Block attacks you cant see or
dont know are coming. The GM may rule
that certain attacks (fire, explosions and
such) cannot be Blocked or Parried.
Movement in Combat
As in Mini Six, the base rate that a person
can move is 10m (sorry about the metric
system, Im Canadian like that), and only
5m without triggering an Action Penalty. In
order to run add your Thletics or
Thletics/Runnin to the speed. If yer doin
nothin but runnin that round (sprintin),
you kin double that number. A horses
Pace is 20m.

Making WilD6West Characters

Step right up pardner, dont be shy. If
youve read the Mini Six Bare Bones
section on Character Generation then
youre ready to go. The process for
WilD6West aint much different.
GRIT, MOVIN, THINKIN and GUMPTION.

You cant have less than 1D and anything
more than 4D costs double. Remember
that the average Joe has 2D in all
Attributes.
Step 1: Think up a Character, a name, a

background, wheres he/she from, why
are they in the West and why are they
adventurin instead of settlin down an
makin homestead? In my game a good
backstory and a picture (inserted
preferably on the character sheet) can
yield you an additional 1 to 3 Skill Dice at
the GMs discretion.
Step 3: Assign Skill Dice. You start with 7

Skill Dice. With these you may buy Skills,
Perks and Concepts. You can cash in up to
one Attribute Die fer 6 extra Skill Dice, or 2
pips fer 4, one pip fer 2. Have a look at the
list of Perks, Complications and Character
Concepts available. Talk to yer GM if
theres something youd like but dont see
on the list. You can spend up to 2 Skill Dice
on a Skill, this includes Specializations.
Step 2: Assign Attribute Dice. You start

with 12 Attribute Dice to distribute among
10
Step 4: Choose your Complications (if

any). Thats right, you dont have to have
any). But if you do, youve got to have a
reason for them, and preferably no more
than three Complications per customer,
unless theyre part of a Character
Concept.
Step 5: Buy yer stuff. If youve taken
Poverty, you start with nothin but the shirt
on yer back. If youve taken Wealthy,
welllll, the world is yer oyster. Characters
should start with whatever is reasonable
for them to have. Guns for gunslingers,
horses for Wranglers and so on. Talk to
yer GM. In addition you start with your
rolled Luck x rolled Luck for the number of
yankee dollars in yer drawers.
Step 6: Play.
Concepts, Perks and Complications are

compatible and I leave it up to the
common sense and discretion of the GM
and players. The Skills and benefits of a
Character Concept are intentionally
discounted to reward players for having
coherent character ideas consistent with
the genre.
Each Concept contains certain Skills, Perks
and Complications. Its assumed that any
Skill mentioned also includes its
Specialties (unless otherwise stated) and
thus Skill Dice spent on Specialization are
tripled as per the Mini Six Bare Bones
Edition Rules on Skill Specialization. Perks
listed as part of the Character Concept
may be purchased at half price only after
Character Creation if not chosen initially.
Associated Complications however cost
double to buy off.
When taking multiple Character Concepts,
any Perks and Complications in common
between Concepts dont stack or double
up. The Skill bonuses do add up though,
but not over and above the initial
recommended Character Generation
limits of no more than 2 Skill Dice per Skill.

dimension to your characters. Protagonists

that can do everything well or who have no
flaws arent much fun to read about, nor
are they fun to play. While not every
character has Complications, most do, and
are more interesting for it.
Its not an oversight that there is no
payback for taking on a Complication.
Thats right, you dont get any extra

This gives you a bit of a psychological
edge when you meet them and as a result
you can double your Wiles or Intimidatin

Complications
As in fiction, the purpose of a Complication
is to add depth to your story and
In many games, taking a character flaw

results in additional resources with which
to build your character. This often results
in a number of predictable problems: MinMaxing, the Lost Disadvantage, and Flaw
Overload.
Min-Maxing, sometimes referred to as
Munchkinism, is all about maximizing your
advantages while minimizing your
liabilities when designing a character.
Hey, its a game, so who wouldnt do that?
Use the rules to your advantage. True, but
the game is also a story, created and
shared by the other players and if the fully
decked out, indestructible loophole
exploiting uber-character is ruining the
story for the others, then that character is a
failure. Beware the blind, deaf, mute,
36
quadriplegic with a terminal illness, OCD

and a dependant, alcoholic ex-wife with
three kids. That character could probably
kick your ass.
The Lost Disadvantage occurs when the
GM has so much to keep track of that they
forget all about a player characters flaws.
Since its not in the players best interest to
remind the GM of the disadvantage, it
doesnt get used. The player winds up with
extra resources for his character, gratis
because his disadvantages arent being
accounted for. More importantly a great
role-playing opportunity has been lost.
Flaw Overload is what happens when so
many disadvantages are in play that the
actual game plot is derailed by all the
enemies, dependents, physical and social
issues that keep cropping up during game
in the GMs attempts to make the character
suffer for each and every benefit they
derived by taking the flaws in the first
place. Sometimes these on the fly
scenarios can be fun, but more often
theyre a drag for the rest of the group and
tend to keep the character with the flaws
perpetually in the limelight at the expense
of the other players.
game somehow. The GM is the final arbiter

on this.
Complications come into play in a variety
of ways.
The GM can evoke a Complication
whenever she sees fit. Complications
should never be used punitively but if the
situation calls for it, the GM should never
shy away from using a characters
Complication against him, just make sure
the character gets a CP in the process.
A 1 on the Wild Die can evoke a
Complication whenever the GM can think
of one. It doesnt have to happen every
time the Wild Die 1 is rolled, only when it
adds something to the game. The player
can be helpful in suggesting possible
adverse events related to the roll, but the
result should be a dilemma worthy of a
Character Point. If the Character has no
worthy Complications pertaining to the
Action, then the GM should feel free to just
manufacture a problem on the spot. It
doesnt have to be huge, but if its more
than an annoyance for the player, then the
player should be awarded a Character
Point.
The Complication is a way of addressing

these issues. Since a Complication
generates Character Points, it behooves
the player to bring them up rather than
hoping the GM forgets about it. Because
Complications dont net any additional
Generation Points, you cant Min/Max
them. And since Complications arise only
within the context of the games story,
rather than being extrinsic to the plot, they
will only come up when it is relevant to the
storyline.
Character Points are awarded only if the
Complication results in actual harm to the
character or another party member or has
significantly hampered the goals of either
the character or his party. Mere
inconveniences or cosmetic problems
should not yield any CPs. The exception is
if the Complication has generated a
moment of hilarity or entertainment for the
group, or has significantly added to the
Players can also invoke a Complication. If

it results in a worthy disadvantage, the GM
37
should award the player with a Character

Point.
Voluntarily failing a Skill roll or some
crucial test should earn a Character Point if
the failure is the result of a Complication.
This is called Taking A Fail.
Taking A Fail involves voluntarily failing a
roll that a Character might normally
succeed at, due to their Complication. The
roll being failed should have significant
gravitas, and should not be used for trivial
or relatively minor things (unless failing
such a roll provides entertainment for the
rest of the party). Failing the roll needs to
create some kind of real disadvantage for
the player or the party.
Some Complications just add to the TN of
certain tasks, when a significant failure
occurs due to the Complication, a CP
award should be considered.
Character Points from Complications
should rarely be awarded more than once
per game session. If they do, it should be
because the consequence of the current
Complication is much worse or more
entertaining than the previous one. This is
sometimes called the once, maybe twice
provision for Complication awarded
Character Points. Repetitive use of the
same Complication with the same old
consequences should not earn a Character
additional Character Points (unless of
course its funny or entertaining in some
way).
Good role-playing around a Complication

should earn CPs whenever possible
because thats what Complications are all
about. However the GM has the right to
subtract or withhold Character Points if a
player is NOT living up to his
Complication. For example, a Pacifist
wouldnt gun down a room full of nuns
(unless maybe they were all possessed by
Satan). As a GM you may subtract a CP or
withhold the next one unless the player
can adequately rationalize it or at least do
penance (maybe a 1D penalty on
everything for the next session due to her
existential suffering and what not).
Hopefully this wont be necessary very
often.
Alcoholism: You are a serious alcoholic.
You need to drink every day or you will
suffer the effects of withdrawal. Otherwise
you are perpetually drunk. Take a Fail on
anything.
Addiction: youve got a problem. It could
be opium, gambling, sex you name it.
When under its influence youre messed
up, when youre without it you go into
withdrawal, and its hard to tell which is
worse. Take A Fail on just about anything.
38
All Thumbs: your hands are deadly

weapons to all devices and fine pieces of
equipment, as well as delicate objets dart
of all varieties. You tend to drop, crack,
strain or induce a major malfunction in just
about any item you get into. Take A Fail on
attempts to repair things, or to use
complicated gadgetry like watches and
screwdrivers. And drop your keys down a
sewer grate while youre at it.
Always The Hero: you risk your neck to
help others all the time. One of these days
itll be the end of you. The sad part is, most
of the time no one cares.
Anachronism: you live in the past, you are
from a culture that has not caught up to the
modern world. Earn Character Points by
not knowing how a doorknob works, or
generally not understanding the local
technology or social context. Really
outdated attitudes and mannerisms will
also yield hilarious results.
Anemic: your bone marrow sucks. Youre
often weak and lethargic. Take A Fail on
tests of endurance or strength.
Arrogant: arent you just Gods gift to
everything? You turn people against you
and piss them off because they just dont
see how great you are, and hey, theyre
jealous anyway so who gives a shit. Take A
Fail on any social interactions, or just be a
jerk.
Bad Vision: self-explanatory, you get to
add 10 to the TN of any roll involving
visual acuity; missile weapons, driving,
piloting, searching for stuff etc. Also, you
can Take A Fail on these tasks as well.
Bad Luck: if something crappy is going to
happen, itll probably happen to you. Your
Raw Luck will never exceed 1D, and in a
contest of Luck, you always lose. Take A
Fail on anything where chance is a major
determinant of success.
Blabber Mouth: you just cant keep it

shut. You cant keep a secret and you often
just blurt out the first thing that pops into
your head. Take A Fail on social rolls or
anything else requiring tact or discretion.
Blind: youre pretty much always in the
dark, and that stuff about blind people
having keen senses to compensate is just
crap. Add 20 to the TN of any task
requiring vision, or Take the Fail for a CP.
Brash: you tend to dangerously
overestimate your own abilities, often
placing you in difficult situations.
Cautious: something will always go wrong
unless you can examine the plan from
every conceivable angle. Because of your
careful attitude your more foolhardy
companions tend to hate your guts. The
fools, dont they realize what you do for
them?
Charitable
You enjoy giving to charities and those
less fortunate than yourself. Sometimes
this can be a problem when your own
needs are neglected.
ChickenShit: you are a yellow-bellied
coward. Add 10 to any fear or intimidation
TNs, you can Take A Fail on such checks as
well.
39
Clueless: little things like current events,

your location and what the hell the plan
was tend to slip beneath your notice. Take
A Fail whenever something such as that
becomes the focus of attention.
Clutz: you tend to drop things or trip over
yourself at the worst possible time. Take A
Fail on any Moves based test.
Code of Honor: youve got a set of rules
youve got to follow or else youll feel bad,
also, the other folks who follow those rules
might get mad at you. Or worse. Youve
got to outline for the GM what these rules
are at the time you take on this
Complication, but common themes tend to
be the The Hippocratic Oath, Gentlemans
Code, the Pirates Code, the Laaaaaaaw of
the West, the Phi Gamma Delta Pledge
code and so on.
right and you might get two CPs for that

one). Regardless, theyre weaker than you
and you are compelled to rush to their
rescue.
Distinctive: you are memorable for some
reason, no one ever forgets you.
Elderly: you are undeniably old. You can
Take A Fail on anything that an aged
person might find challenging. This
ground is fertile for all sorts of offensive
clichs. Start planting.
Compassionate: You care, and sometimes

this gets you into trouble, defending the
weak, helping the poor and so on.
Competitive: no one, but no one, can beat
you at this one thing, or heck, at anything.
You take crazy risks to win at all costs.
When you dont win the you-know-what
hits the fan.
Curiosity: not only does it kill the cat, but
also you and the rest of the party.
Death Wish: you dont care whether you
live or die, and neither does anyone else.
So you take ridiculous chances for no good
reason. Is it the rush? Is it the attention?
Maybe youre just freakin crazy or maybe
youve got some secret agenda youre not
letting anyone in on. You decide.
Delusional: you whole-heartedly believe
something that no one else seems to
believe. Is everyone else just whacked,
crazy, cant they see it? What are they,
blind? Or maybe theyre just in on it
Dependants: the character has an aging
aunt, children, or a hapless love interest
that keeps getting into harms way.
Sometimes ones Enemy gets a hold of
them and hilarity ensues (play your cards
Enemy: you have a nemesis, it may be a

single person, a group or organization or
may be an entire nation/tribe. The enemy
means to do you harm, and it may not even
be physical harm. They may be trying to
discredit you, or steal your girl (man), or
ruin you financially. Whenever this
becomes a significant problem, collect a
CP.
Gentlemanly: You believe in the code of
the gentleman. Never mistreat a woman or
child, deal with others fairly and honestly,
never exploit someone elses misfortune
unless he is an enemy.
Greedy: youll do anything for a quick
buck. Anything.
Gullible: isnt in the dictionary. Really. Go
check, Ill wait. You trust people way too
much. Take a fail whenever someone is
using their Wiles on you.
Haunted: Youve seen things most people
wouldnt believe. Its given you that look
that makes people uncomfortable. Take a
40
Fail on any social interaction and gain a

Character Point.
thoroughly convinced that it is in your

friends best interest.
Hearing Impaired: youve got auditory

problems! Add 10 to the TN of any hearing
based actions! Add 20 if you are deaf! This
includes attempts at communication and
social skills! Take A Fail on any of the
above!
Marginalized: you belong to a group of

people looked upon with disfavor or even
outright hatred by society at large. Add 5
to 10 to the TN of any social roll when this

Its a problem, collect CPs when it
becomes significant, and get some help.
Tenderfoot: You are unfamiliar with the

Character. The death of your steed will
cause you to lose it for the rest of the
session but the points spent on such a
valuable sidekick can be used the
following session on a new mount, if one
becomes available.
Trusty Steed (2) you have a mutual bond

bloody with a side of your enemys own
entrails, figuratively speaking of course.
Vicious: youre a mean mother-so-and-so.
If theres a cheap shot to be taken, youll
take it. And sparing prisoners, forget it,
youd rather just kill them, or at least maim
them to prevent any acts of revenge. This
tends to get you in a lot of trouble.
Wanted: youre either on the lamb or a
person of interest to some law
enforcement body. When they find you
theyll take you away, haha! Earn a CP
whenever this becomes a problem.
Young: youre noticeably younger than
your peers, which wouldnt be a problem
except no one seems to think youre even
toilet trained yet. Golly gee whiz, youll
show them.
Horse Perks and Complications

Horses form a large part of the Wild West
mythos, sometimes your horse says as
much about your character as any of your
Attributes or Skills. If you have a Trusty
Steed, you may also purchase Perks and
Complications (and earn Character Points
Horse Perks
These Perks are specifically for horses.
Other Perks may be applicable to your
steed with GM permission.
Danger Sense (1) the horse is very aware
of its surroundings and always warns its
rider of dangers ahead. Once per session
it can double its Perceivin roll in the face
of danger and will whinny or bristle if it
senses trouble.
Horse Sense (1) the horse is relatively
intelligent and possesses a Thinkin
Attribute (normally animals have 1D or
less). It might even be smartern you.
Noble Steed (1) once per session, while
ridin this horse, you can double any
Intimidatin or Wiles roll (not Deceivin
though).
Ornery (1) the horse will only accept you
as the rider. Anyone else and he/she will
buck and possibly attack the rider (biting
and kicking).
Tough Hide (1) your horse is toughern
most. Once per session it can double a
Soak roll.
White Lightning (1) The horse is faster
than typical, and adds 10m to its Pace.
Workhorse (1) your horse is a mighty
beast of burden, or at least used to a days
43
work. Double its carrying/pulling

capacity.
Man Aginst the Elements

In many Western stories, the environment
is just as savage an obstacle as any Injun
on the warpath or any band of desperados.
Heres some quick and dirty rules on how
to play these up.
Cold/Heat
Horse Complications
Clumsy as an Ox
Your horse is not very graceful and will
likely stumble and dump you if you try to
jump or ride along a narrow path.
Slacker
Your horse aint motivated. Hes never
done an honest days work in his life.
Forget about hitching him up to a wagon,
carrying two riders or any difficult terrain.
Slow as Molasses
Your horse has half the starting Pace of a
regular horse.
Stubborn
Your horse is obstinate. You need a
successful Handlin roll against its
Gumption to get it to do anything.
Unbroken
The horse requires either a Handlin roll
against its Gumption or it will buck. This
happens every time you or anyone tries to
ride it.
Wild
Your horse will not accept a bridle or be
hitched to a team.
The ambient temperature extremes can

cause accumulating damage anywhere
from 1 pip to 1D per hour of exposure
depending on degree unless protected by
the appropriate clothing, equipment or
shelter. A Durance roll against this
damage, Complemented or replaced by
Survivin Skill is made every few hours or
other dramatically acceptable period.
Degree of failure determines the amount of
Lethal type Damage taken.
The accumulating environmental damage
roll can be reduced by taking shelter at a
rate of no more than 3 per hour.
The Wounds take the form of frostbite and
hypothermia, or heatstroke and
hyperthermia. Each of these can be fatal.
Characters may substitute their Survival
Skills, or Complement their Durance
checks when under such harsh conditions.
Disease
Infectious diseases present in a myriad
forms, from the common cold to the Ebola
virus. Typically a disease will have a
Virulence score, or a TN to match Durance
against or else suffer the effects. Some
diseases like flesh eating bacteria and
necrotizing fasciitis act almost
immediately. Others, like tertiary syphilis
dont show symptoms for years, and have a
long, latent phase.
Effects can be damage, or debility
represented as reduced Attributes, or
other effects such as somnolence,
delirium, wracking pain and so on. The
duration is disease dependant and may
44
last for a single day or persist chronically

for the rest of the characters days.
Drowning and Asphyxiation
Every round spent unable to breathe adds
to the TN of an asphyxia (Durance) roll,
made each round after twice the number
of rounds equal to the number of D in
Durance. Failing a roll results in Lethal
type damage.
Falling
For every 3m you fall, you take 1D of
damage. So falling 50 feet (15m), you take
5D.
Fire
Fires burn. The amount of energy
imparted by a campfire after a round of
exposure might be anywhere from 1to 2D,
A large bonfire maybe 3D. Larger fires will
generate more energy and thus impart
greater amounts of damage.
The real risk of fires, especially in
enclosed spaces is asphyxiation from
oxygen depletion and poisonous gases
such as cyanide and carbon monoxide.
See Asphyxia above.
Thirst and Starvation
Every day spent without hydration, and
every three days spent without nutrition,
creates an accumulating D of Lethal type
Damage, resisted by your Durance check
made each day. Any Fatigue penalties act
as penalties against these Stamina checks.
Survivin Skill can be substituted for or
Complement Durance.
Toxins
Toxins affect biological systems, wreaking
physiologic havoc at the cellular or
molecular level. Each toxin will have its
own effects, and may not necessarily be
lethal in small quantities (alcohol is a
toxin).
The specific effects of each toxin must be

individualized, as is their route of
ingestion and Potency. Potency is what
provides the TN against a Durance roll to
avoid the toxins effects.
Effects of toxins may include damage,
unconsciousness, hallucinations, Attribute
decrease, paralysis and so on. We leave
the specifics up to your imagination.
Examples of toxins and their effects
include cyanide (potency 20, 8D damage),
sodium pentothal (truth serum, potency 20,
causes truthfulness and suggestibility),
rattlesnake venom (potency 10, damage
4D) and so on.
Encumbrance and Fatigue

A character is not considered Encumbered
until they are carrying a weight equal to
twice the number of D in their Lift skill as
per the Lift Capacity Table. After that point
a 1D penalty applies to all physical
Actions requiring Movin Attribute,
including Initiative. For every point on the
Lift Capacity Table of additional weight the
character carries, they suffer an additional
1D penalty to all Movin Actions.
So, the average man (GRIT 2D) can carry
an equivalent of 4 on the Lift Table (8 kg)
before he is Encumbered, at 12kg (5 on
the lift table) he has a -1D penalty to
Movin Actions. If he carries more weight,
say up to 6 on the Lift Table (20kg), he will
acquire an additional 1D of penalty, at 7
(30kg) another 1D for a total of 3D
penalty to Movin Actions.
His Pace also drops by 2m for each level of
Encumbrance he bears. If he were
carrying 50kg his Pace would drop by 6m
to 4m/round. If Pace drops below 0, he
cannot move any further.
Horses and other beasts of burden have
twice the carrying capacity of two legged
characters and thus dont become
encumbered until 4 times the D in Lift. A
horses Pace also starts at 20m rather than
a humans 10.
45
Fatigue uses the Durance Skill. Failing a

Fatigue roll gives you Stun damage
(penalty lasts until you rest, 10 minutes of
rest removes one Stun). The TN for a
Fatigue roll is calculated as 1 for each
round of extreme exertion (Combat,
Sprinting, role-playing game design).
Thus ten rounds of fighting (or a single
combat scene say) would require
everyone to roll their Durance against 10
Fatigue. Whether you make your Fatigue
roll or not, the Fatigue clock keeps ticking
and if exertion continues for another ten
rounds the next Stamina roll will be against
20, and so on. Each minute of rest erases a
single point from the next Fatigue TN.
Hard exertion (running, swimming,
climbing etc) accumulates Fatigue at one
point per minute (six rounds). Moderate
exertion (walking, treading water, easy
riding, driving, most peoples jobs)
accumulates Fatigue at 1 per hour.
