solo_knightPlaythrough/Review: Dead Man’s Promise: Bounty Hunter
What is it?
A one-page game (double-sided) about being a bounty hunter in the Faewild West
Is it playable out of the box?
Yes, but if you want a story, you need to bring it to the table.
Amendments:
A wild/weird west setting.
Tools
2 d6, playing cards
Price:
$3
Verdict
🧊 Put on Ice
I’m not retiring this quite yet, though it will be a while before I get around to it again. This has three phases – you roll for your quarry, you roll for the chase, you draw cards for the showdown. There’s enough variation here to create an interesting narrative, but in order to get the most out of it, you need to bring a character and envision who you’re trying to bring to justice.
This playthrough gives you an idea of what the gameplay can look like if you're doing worldbuilding and looking for a story.
I admit, simply rolled and logged 'this thing happened'; it was good enough for me.
I want to actually play this at a later date, when I have the spoons to make up a setting and characters.
