GURPS Old West: Adventure on the American Frontier

GURPS Third Edition

by Ann Dupuis, Lynda Mannin-Schwartz, Robert E. Smith

The American frontier was a legend, even as it was happening. Gunfighters, Indians. cowboys, miners and mountain men . . . the "rust-eaters" who pushed the rails west . . . the Pony Express . . . the Texas Rangers and the outlaws they fought . . . the settlers battling fire, floods, stampedes and sickness . . . their adventures made the nation what it is today!

Come west if you've got the guts for it. The weak die on the trail, and the cowards never leave home. Let's see what you're made of, pardner . . .

Typically high quality work from GURPS. As much as I don't like the system, their source material and research is always top notch. There's a ton of great information, packaged in a readable way. And while there's a bunch of system specific stuff, the beauty of most GURPS books, this one included, is that they can be extremely useful for any game. Plenty of story ideas, character ideas, and helpful hints for game masters.
