Roughing It Characters need 7 hours of sleep per day and three meals/one day of rations per day. If not, they need a Survival skill success at +4 (in this situation in south central Texas in June) to avoid losing 1 point of Strength, Coordination, and Observation (p. 18). Points are restored after ...

The robbers will Move. You're correct about the +1 lasting the whole fight, thanks for spotting that. The way I read it, Paladin can move (rise to one knee) but not shoot this one-second Shootout Turn. Initiative for next turn (also a Shootout Turn): [1d6]=5 Paladin raises to a knee on the roof of ...

Torix is anxious to test the ancient spear in battle... but not against a full-grown brown bear. He quietly backs away, slings his bow, and readies the spear, for just in case. He walks in a wide crescent path to approach the river a thousand yards upstream, hoping that he will only find big, flavo...

Andreas rides to the west, headed to strike the road or trail leading south from Burnet. Gideon takes the telescope and replies to DT, Ah guess ah've done coughed up mah gallon er two of Colorada water and give em back ta the river. Ah'll give it a try. But ah ain't too proud ta tell ya ah ain't the...

The Tonkawa look at Charlie in a more friendly way now. But a little oddly, as if appraising him. Being a Native American himself, he can guess what they are thinking: "Why does this man fight his own mother's people?" But Charlie also knows that even full-blood Indians will go against the...

Ezekiel makes out that the riders are wearing U.S. Army issue blue shirts. And mounted on big American horses, rather than smaller and leaner Indian horses. Charlie spots that the men ride with red and yellow blankets (probably Indian trade ones) like he saw in the Tonkawa village southeast of San M...

Sorry, Paladin's last shot was a hit. Not sure how I misread that. The target has taken 10 points of damage and is still conscious. We're still in Shootout Turns, very likely for the duration of this fight. Yes, raising to one knee would allow Paladin LOS to the left side. After reading and re-read...

https://i.imgur.com/FF1yIJp.jpeg Gideon weighs the option of riding for the road and its bridge or ford, with the risk of not immediately finding the group again, versus his dread of vipers in the water that can swim much better than he can. He opts to cowboy up and follow suit and cross here. He c...

Me too.

Saul looks at the abandoned tank, and for any signs of where the crew might have gone. They'd be lightly armed compared to the IJA troops in the valley and may need help.

Luke Goodfox drawls in his Oklahoma accent, Three rifles on one pistol. Better not waste no time. He activates his teleportation talent, aiming to travel 100 yard to a position flanking the Italians, around 50 yards away.

With an hour and half of daylight left, the riders decide on a change of course from precise tracking to heading in the general direction described. Gideon says, I suppose more people will know ar destination, if that ends up makin any difference. Where Mr. Andreas Larson's trackin would take us the...

Minoru needs a ninjutsu BCS success to cross the grounds undetected. Then he can use his climbing poll for an Easy Climb onto the roof. Using the numbers on the map, please state where on the roof he wants to end up. Please note that the roofs have two sloping sides with a ridgepole in the center. ...

Er, hey Grumble, Theo says. You want to maybe hold off on breaking stuff until our guys can take a look at them? He looks at the platinum coffer and wonders about the initials engraved on it: GWT. He says to the gnomes, By the way, who's Syd?

N.C. Wyeth is great. If you need a heroic image for about any genre (medieval, pirates, frontier, Old West, whatever), N.C. is a good go-to.

Those are some great sponsors! :) I suppose the rules account for getting shot off a horse by the Strength rules. Getting taken down to 0 and going unconscious would cause a fall from horseback. The coach Paladin lies on takes an upward jolt just as he squeezes the smooth as silk pull of the Reming...

The scouts ride toward the three horsemen, who've spotted them and observe them. After fifty yards of riding, a fourth man emerges from behind some foliage, looks toward the scouts, and mounts his horse. The four men start walking their horses toward Charlie and Ezekiel fanning out into spaces betwe...
