In the Light of a Setting Sun
A downloadable Pen and Paper RPG
Beween the years 1860 and 1900, many a cowpoke roamed the western frontiers. Bloody gunfights, tragic duels, and harsh winters claimed countless lives during this period. A cowpoke had to be crafty in order to survive out in the wilderness; they needed all at their disposal in order to deal with the outlaws, bounty hunters, and wildlife which called that no-man's land home.
Based on Nate Treme's impeccable In the Light of a Ghost Star, In the Light of a Setting Sun promises gunslinging action in a small and easily transportable pamphlet. Hit the open trail with your posse and see what trouble you can stir up with this simple and easy to read ruleset!

In the pamphlet it states HP = IRNd6. Is this saying that HP is equal to your IRN score (3d6) multiplied by d6? So on average a player would have about 37 hp?
I purposefully made the rules for Dueling vague so judges would be able to make their own interpretations and judgments. Myself, I determine it to be a 50/50 shot whether an opponent is merely wounded, or killed outright. This makes Dueling as scary as I imagine it to be, as this means a player gambles with the life of their cowpoke with every confrontation. Writing about this now, I can't help but imagine making this into a tournament bracket con game where players face off in Duel after Duel, leaving one cowpoke to reap the rewards and the carnage.
