Dakota Territory. 1872. The gold that once birthed the boomtown of Red Gulch has begun to dry out. To keep pioneers in the city and invite in more, Mayor Ellis has called for a poker tournament with stakes too high for folks to pass up. On the second night of the tournament, however, a tavern girl screams as her drunken patron slumps over with a knife in his back. Over time, more and more residents and visitors – many of them participants in the tournament – end up six feet under. Can the remaining players and curious bystanders solve the mystery of Red Gulch before it’s too late? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Frontier" is a homebrew campaign setting for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Set in the Wild West, it is a historically-based system with no magic, but plenty of character customization. The emphasis for "Dead Man's Hand" is roleplaying, character development, and interaction. There will be at least a month of roleplaying on the messenger service Discord before game will begin. This campaign is not about number-crunching, but about sharing and building a story in the Wild West and making plenty of friends in the process! IMPORTANT: Participation in text-based roleplaying is required between games. Failure to keep up with down-time roleplaying will lead to removal from the game. Setting information can be found at our Obsidian Portal site: <a href="https://dead-mans-hand.obsidianportal.com/" rel="nofollow">https://dead-mans-hand.obsidianportal.com/</a> A PDF with specific game mechanics will be emailed to the players chosen to join the party.
