Author Topic: The Western Frontier -- A text based roleplay  (Read 9504 times)

Title says all. An RP taking place in the American Old West.

What was the Old West?
The American Old West, or the Wild West, comprises the history, geography, people, folklore, and cultural expression of life in the Western United States, most often referring to the latter half of the 19th century, between the California Gold Rush of 1849 and the end of the century. After the 18th century and the push beyond the Appalachian Mountains, the term is generally applied to anywhere west of the Mississippi River in earlier periods and westward from the frontier strip toward the later part of the 19th century. Thus, the Midwest and American South, though not considered part of the Western United States today, have Western heritage along with the modern western states. More broadly, the period stretches from the early 19th century to the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920. Wikipedia.


Rules
No unrealistic situations. - E.G. "A man with $1,000,000 walks by, I shoot him and take all of his money."
Remember, we're in the mid-late 1800s - E.G. "I find a machine gun and pick it up!"
Do not go out of the 'map' if you will. - (Please refer to the states that we will be playing in)

I do realize this is a large land area. If this poses as a major problem in player interaction, I'll make it smaller.

I wake up, felling the warm dry sand on my face. Now I remember, Mexico. I'd just run away. Pulling out a map I see a town named 'Tucson' "Minus well." I pack my saddlebag and head off for Tucson.

"Ughhh..." I open my eyes, I can't see anything...But i can hear people talking and laughing. I left my head up, it's a lot more heavier than I remember. I'm in the Orange Saloon, Probably drank my self to sleep.

I roll off of my cot and onto the floorboards. "Agh, son of a..." I reach for my jacket, hat, guns and pants, grumbling "It's gunna be one of those days"

I ride over a hill and spot a city, "That's gotta be it." I ride into town and walk into the saloon for a drink.

I try to get off the bar stool, but fall off of it and onto my back.

I help the man up, "Whats your name partner?"

"Drunky over there's John Redmen"
