Bounties
The following bounties present a range of individuals wanted by the
law for numerous offensives. They are defined both by physical traits
and a brief description of their backgrounds and motivations. Some
are misunderstood, sympathetic, or mostly harmless. Others are
deadly, corrupt, and vile.
GMs are encouraged to tweak and alter these bounties as needed
to make their use in Tiny Gunslingers more interesting. Perhaps
a seemingly harmless snakeoil salesman in in fact a cold-blooded
poisoner of women and children. Maybe a seemingly ruthless killer
was framed by an enemy or an innocent on the run may in fact be
a cruel and manipulative killer. These twists and developments
shouldn’t be overused—sometimes a bandit is just a bandit—but they
can spice things up in a longer campaign.

woman seeking to win some dinero in a game of chance to secure lodgings, a
coach ticket, or some other goal. She then seeks to win, charm, or cheat her
opponents for all she can before moving on. Though she is an expert knife

mountain man, he has begun to become less stable and more violent the
more time he spends in isolation. Robert suspects any stranger of either

August L. Valentine aka Kid Valentine


For murder, robbery, and cattle rustling
August Lyman Valentine is one of deadliest gunfighters in the territory,
an amoral shootist who hires out his gun to anyone who will meet his
price. He has been a soldier, an outlaw, even a lawman, but he’s primarily
a mercenary—he goes where the money is. However, fighting on behalf of
the losing side in a few range wars and a brief flirtation with train robbery
has finally placed a sizable price on his head.
Despite the bounty on his head, August manages to operate in various
towns and jurisdictions without trouble. The reason for this is simple: even
the law doesn’t want to tangle with him, especially when he joins up with
some local land baron or outlaw eager to help protect their best gun.

as an outlaw, never holding down a legitimate career or job for more than ten
months’ time. His survival is a testimony to his ability to pick good partners and
manage risks. Though he often plays the part of the folksy, bombastic bruiser,
he is thoughtful and if need be, quite ruthless. Black Ned is rarely found without
his gang, a rotating cast of outlaws, drifters, and desperadoes who often have
rewards on their head both as part of his gang and independently.

religious man. He went along with his father on his excursions to local native
territory to sell tainted goods and faulty arms, actions the elder Elam justified
by saying he was only giving the native people “what they deserved” and doing
“God’s work” by acting against them. Young Asher grew to emulate his father’s
evil, taking over “the family business” when he was killed by a native ex-Army
scout whose tribe the old man had nearly wiped out by selling them smallpox
infected goods. Asher refuses to accept his father’s or his own role in his lot in
life, instead blaming “heathens and sinners” for all his self-inflicted harms.

or slights. Charles is no fool, he won’t simply walk into town and start stabbing
or shooting people, but he always seems to manage to find victims wherever
he goes. His favorite tactic involves attaching himself to some authority or
group in need of his considerable skills who agree to look the other way when
he exercises his terrible appetites. Charles Henry Flynn favors vulnerable and
innocent victims, though he has no qualms about killing anyone who crosses
him—or whose death benefits him in even the smallest way.

States of America or their defeat in the Civil War. Unwilling to surrender or
allow the survivors of the war to live in peace free from his misguided and
hateful vengeance, is a racist brute who plays at being an honorable military
man even as he kills, burns, and torments any he blames for his lot in life. Fond
of targeting immigrants, former slaves, and ex-Union soldiers, he and his militia
conduct a “private war” that is nothing more than a campaign of robbery, terror,
and murder. Colonel E.I. Chandler has fled to Mexico in the past to escape
the authorities, but he always returns with some new scheme to punish the
Union or foment rebellion.
