Description

MARS WAS FOR THE RICH 'TIL THEY LEFT US HERE TO DIE RED WEST IS A HACK OF HEART: THE CITY BENEATH (BY GRANT HOWITT AND CHRISTOPHER TAYLOR) ABOUT BLOOD-DRENCHED COWBOYS FIGHTING DEMONS THAT WARP REALITY AND FUCKED UP MONSTER CROCODILES IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR ABANDONED WILD-WEST-THEMED ENTERTAINMENT COLONY HOME SAFE IN THE AFTERMATH OF A WAR AGAINST HELL THAT WE ALL LOST. IT IS INSPIRED BY HUNT: SHOWDOWN AND DOOM AND DEAD SPACE AND HALO 3 AND ALIENS AND THE SANGFIELLE SEASON OF FRIENDS AT THE TABLE AND THE ALBUMS INFEST THE RAT'S NEST AND MURDER OF THE UNIVERSE BY KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD. RED WEST IS A GAME BEST PLAYED LOUD. RED WEST is presented in an unfinished state for the purposes of playtesting. It requires a copy of Heart: The City Beneath to be played currently. Playtest reports and feedback can be emailed to me at weregazelle@gmail.com. 11/05/23: V0.2! Classes are now more filled out, the fallout system is completely reworked, and there's broadly speaking much more meat on the bones. Grab your playtest google sheets HERE!
