My group have just finished playing through the included scenarios in the book. I haven't read it myself as a friend of mine was the GM, but it was a lot of fun to play. Comes highly recommended!

Thanks for all the nice stuff you guys are saying! And I'm glad you enjoyed the game Trif, makes it all worth while.
Cjbowser said 'but no free blacks?' No, nonono. Blacks get two extra occupations that non-blacks do not get access to (ok, so its two slave occupations...) because Blacks also have access to the Cowboy and Outlaw occupations. I made enough contentious mistakes, you can't lay this one on me as well :-)
High Plains Drifter is spot on. It inspired the Drifter NPC class, and it's one of my favorite westerns, but there are lots of others that went into the mix.
I did originally try this as a 'straight' western but over time I found it lacked something, and so I tried to get a CoC parallel. Sort of, on the surface everythings 'normal' but when you start digging, then you find the weirdness. I found that a lot more interesting, but you don't have to use it. I found running a couple of straight sessions then chucking in a gribbly kept the players on their toes.
I hoping to finish a little freebie thing some time soon, I'll let you know when its done amigos.

Yeah, I seriously need this book. I've said for a long time that Horror and Westerns are the Chocolate and Peanut Butter genres.

I'd very much like to see a campaign book for Aces High. I'd buy it in a heart beat and give it to my friend to GM!
Our Aces High sessions usually included wearing hats and western-type scarfs, and a bottle of brandy!
I'd recommend Deadwood to anyone who'd like to get in the right mood for western playing!

Did you use Deadwood appropriate language during your game sessions? :thumb:Originally Posted by Trifletraxor

Have you had a look at the scenario poll MrJealousy? Aces High scenarios are in high demand. Stop having a life and get back to writing!

Ooo yeah! Well life has been rather exciting recently
My freebie thing is about 90% done, and it has kind of pointed me in a direction for a much larger campaign, scenario,thing. This is about 10% thought of! It does include a couple of new critters and some other new stuff though...
Spirits is something I would love to expand on but having been accused of being a rascist due to my poor choice of wordsI'm going to treat that with a lot more thought...

How so ? ( if you don't mind me asking )Spirits is something I would love to expand on but having been accused of being a rascist due to my poor choice of words
Redskins!
Redskins is a bad word, and I used it exclusively with almost no thought. Or rather, I thought it sounded cool and wanted the AH book to 'flow' so I found every instance of Native, American and Indian (and any combination) and changed it to Redskin, but I have been told it is offensive. Which I think I understand. However, having never seen a real american indian, other than in movies, I was treating them like a mythical race, like a wendigo or an ogre or some other fantastic race. But they are real, and understandably a bit touchy about this kind of causal thoughtlessness. I also have to point out that it wasn't my intention to be offensive... but that's not the point.
Oh well... Live and learn, I wont be making that mistake again!
So, there wont be 'Redskins' book but there might be a 'Skinwalker' book at some time in the future.
