What it is about
In the chaos that followed the end of that Accursed War, the already lawless territories have descended into a morass of bloodshed and deviltry. It has fallen to Retribunals such as yourself, brought back into the living fold from that far country, to hunt down the murderers, war criminals and uneasy dead that haunt these lands. The revival church pays handsomely for each bounty you bring in, and with some luck and a lot of lead, you may even pay off the debt that came with your resurrection. Saddle up, there's killing work to be done. - DRAW! Is a small-scale, solo TTRPG, based on the Firelights engine by René-Pier Deshaies, and modified to allow for high-tension duels in a dark and mythical version of the old west. In this pamphlet game you will choose one of three doomed gunslingers, and set out on your mount in search of bounties to bring in and clear your debt. Drawn cards will give you a sense of the landscape, helping you fill in your own unique map of the territories. Face cards are your bounties though, that you'll have to face down in a chaotic melee, with a chance of them giving you the slip, or you can call 'em out, and put 'em in the ground with Draw!'s unique, blackjack based, dueling engine. Failure will lead to you being Lost, but the revivalists will bring you back, and add a hefty amount to your debt. Can you wipe the slate clean and free your soul? We play to find out. - DRAW! requires this game, a standard poker deck with no jokers, 2 six-sided dice, a playing piece, and something to write with and on. - INSPIRATIONS: High Plains Drifter, Dark Souls, Wild ARMS, and the following music & games.
