Shotguns N' Saddles old west Roleplaying

Seeking players interested in roleplaying in the old west using the Shotguns N' Saddles RPG system which based off rules-lite OD&D mechanics. This is a great old west system and I will teach it to new players and provide PDF copies as well! The game will be in a style similar to the movie Tombstone or Young Guns. Any interest out there? Will you be an outlaw on the run? A lawman in pursuit? Or something totally different?
sounds fun, I'm interested.
Oh I love western games. What timezone will this be in?
I would be interested. Love westerns.
Eastern time zone. What is everyone's availability like? I will likely use Skype for voice communication. My ID on there is warduke5150 if you would like to add me.

Hey saw your shotguns and sattles old west roleplaying thread on roll20. I would love to join as a saloon girl who is either related to a sheriff or a bandit. I would focus more on espionage and dirty tricks along with seduction. I am free Tuesday nights 10pm est and Thursday Nights 10pm est on I added you on skype btw. For those in the thread not familiar a soiled dove as a saloon girl.
a "soiled dove" might work at a saloon, but that would be in the upstairs rooms, not as a serving girl. also, i'm interested in joining up too, if you have room, and depending what day you're playing. unless this has fizzled out already...
Count me interested! I have recently been binging on old western movies so this is rather perfect for me.
Sadly another western group got back to me sooner so think I am good on roleplaying games. I play one every other day and run two myself.
well at least you found something. not sure if this game is actually going anywhere right now -- no replies in 2 weeks from daddystabz, so it might have either fizzled, or been filled before we all got here
I'm sorry. I got stuck doing a lot of overtime recently. This game definitely IS going somewhere. Hold tight and I am going to put a roster together and post it here. Please add me on Skype if you haven't already yet. My username on there is warduke5150.
I want to be the fat irish butcher that does shady things. Would this be before or after the railway coming through? Pre or post civil war? Not available Fridays or Saturdays.
I stil would love to join if its not during my other games...figured this was just dead due to no response in so long XD.
Could you all do a Monday night game starting around 7 pm eastern? Also, please post character concepts such as: Lawman, outlaw, gambler, call girl, etc.
monday at 7EST sounds pretty good to me. "female gunslinger" seems about what i'm looking for, right now. i could narrow that down, based on what the rest of the group likes.

If a gm of a game I play. This Monday doesn't show again then I will sign up..... my char is a saloon girl and daughter to a government ranger. She is a bit of a Scooby girl for the west who tries to help others and solve things while being nosey to suspicious or strange things.

Saw the post, would love to join if it isn't too late. The era would be awesome. I would love to play an ex-military gun for hire. Unfortunately, I am busy this week until Wed. Hopefully this isn't too much of a limiting factor. New to most of this, but would love to learn. Thank you!
I would love to play this with yall on monday at 7est and I would love to play a gambling man who will fight on the side of the law for his friends.
Damon I would love to get in on this though my TZ doesn't allow it.
If no one responds back by 6pm est tonight for the star wars game I will drop it due to the gm not being active for a few weeks.
i have a sudden doc's appointment today, ruling me out (or at least very late), but i'm still interested.
Alright no word from star wars so I will be able to play and just going to tell them that two weeks of missing gm means I wont play in it.
so did anything happen ?
nope no star wars and no saddle today so just kind of meh atm hoping one gets a response. Figuring this will.
a shame this is no go for GMT players :( really would like to play western.
Kelgtar; it isn't that it's a no-go specifically... just that it would be starting at like midnight, for a GMT+0 player. if that's a good time for you, it shouldn't be a problem. obviously, this is all assuming daddystabz ever finds the free time to get this started. ...anyone else interested in GMing a 'wild west' type game ?
I've been wanting to do a rotating-GM Dogs in the Vineyard campaign for a while now. Due to the overwhelming lack of interest in my Friday night campaign, I might be available for Fridays at 10PM PST (GMT-8) starting next week (technically, there's still a nonzero chance that someone else will want to join, and I'm going to offer the two remaining players the opportunity to continue the campaign with just the two of them, but the smart money is on tonight being our last session).
rotating-GM has never seemed like a good idea to me. "oh sorry guys, i forgot it was my week, i don't got anything ready." ...or "ok, all that stuff last week was BS, so i'm erasing it. X,your character didn't die. Y you didn't die, but you still used the [amazingly rare 1shot item]. Z instead of getting all that awesome loot, you get [this] instead. and this dungeon sucks kinda, and i'm bored of it and wanna go another direction, so that was the boss and you're outside now. So you're back at the inn..." (this is probably exaggerating, and yet probably not completely made up either.) 1 campaign should be 1 gm. if you want multiple games, just join something else on another night. if you wanna play different campaigns each week, that's less bad, except then you end up waiting however many weeks extra between each game. which gets all the worse if you prefer one of the games significantly over the others. all that aside; "Dogs in the Vineyard" ? sounds like some pretty heavy religious & moral propaganda there, disguised as an RPG... that plus the way that the "betting" system for conflict resolution is described (at least in the wikipedia article) makes it sound like it would take the simplest conflict and drag it out for ages, if both sides get stubborn. tl;dr, neither of these sounds like a setup i'd want to play under, tho i won't try to predict what everyone else's reactions might be.
i'm interested if you're not full yet. Send me a pm if im not too late
hi again, graham. so far nothing is happening. daddystabz has like week-plus response time... and/or isn't checking skype requests, so nothing's actually gotten started yet. (watch me be "that guy"... lol)
Well it is the horrible holiday seasons as in halloween thanksgiving Christmas New years I notice once October hits people vanish for 3 to 4 months. I am actually cutting back on the games I am in due to the holiday hell on top of my capstone.
I am still here and actively working on setting this campaign up. Work has been very hectic lately as I was just promoted to supervisor and have had a lot of training sessions and extra hours. In addition, this is the retail peak season so my hours will be around 12 hours a day through the end of the holiday season after next week or so. Regardless, I am working on prepping the first adventure and finalizing players currently. I want to come up with a complete roster soon. Will Mondays at 7:30 pm eastern work for most of you? Please post if you can make it at that time and your Skype username. I'd like to get people's character concepts posted here soon too. If you already have the rules please feel free to roll a character and submit it to me via email or linking me to a doc. If you do not already have the rules look me up on Skype (warduke5150) and I will send them your way.

No response from my star wars group still and 7pm EST is perfect*
I've seen a large amount of interest in this so I do not know if spots are all taken or not. If the latter and room is still available I would be interested in possibly joining, that is if your fine with a greenhorn who is completely new to the system.
Mondays at 7 work perfectly for me, I have another group on monday in the afternoon so I take sundays off. I do not have a copy of the rules though
wow and I just noticed when I was at work the star wars game I was in is closed deleted and gone. The gm didn't even tell any of us and its just not there anymore.
wow o_o i hate it when that happens. just common courtesy (both for players and GM's)... make an announcement. "sorry, i can no longer play in/ run this game, due to schedule changing in RL." how hard is that, people?

Name: Kaylin Masterson Age: 18 Height: 5” 6’ Weight: 118 lbs Occupation: Saloon Girl Body Type: Slim Bio: Kaylin Masterson is the daughter to a federal marshal named James Masterson and a school teacher named Janette White. She is the youngest in a family of four where the three older siblings are all brothers. Two of them followed the family tradition of being Lawmen working their way up to marshals while one became a known outlaw and bandit. Jim Masterson was disowned from the family and he holds a grudge against his father for several arrests. Kaylin was being raised to be a school teacher but she really wishes to become a doctor. Due to her family trait of being high in pride, she refused to let her mother and father help her and took a job as a local saloon girl aiming to earn enough cash to pay the doctor in the town to take her on as an apprentice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================Character Sheet Below================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level 0 Attribute Dice rolls 1.

Great work so far all. Keep it up! BTW, you can roll 4d6 for your stats and drop the lowest.
cool. anything else? like, do you care if we pick background and other stuff? or should we roll for everything ?
The book states that you roll for your background even if it is not the one you are in. Think of it as you are better at some things than others naturally vs experience from a job
I am typically inclined to allow people to choose backgrounds in most games. I will think about that.
I want to play but before i buy a copy of the rulebook to make a charater i want to know i have a slot so i dont waste my money
I'm working on adventure prep right now. I am almost ready to start this thing! A couple character gen things. I am allowing you to roll 4d6 and keep the best 3 and assign them as you like for stats. We will discuss it more during out first session. I'm going to check my schedule and availability of all the players and I will schedule a first session so we can complete character creation and I will get the rules out to each of you that still need them. We will discuss the game and you can ask questions too. Please make sure to add your Skype names here so I can create our contact list.
odd.cl is my skype name for those who are confused I go by kaylin mostly since that will be my future name once I finish my full gender change and am out of college and steady with bills. Mondays any time is perfect for me since I left one game that I really did not enjoy and the other one just vanished due to matt who ran it pulling his usual vanish act that he does when the holidays start hitting without warning.
mondays are good for me, too. i prefer afternoons/evenings. i think my char is complete.
