I was thinking the same thing (GURPS 4E) with all the extra firearm rules, tactical shooting and such as gunfighting is usually the centrepiece event for Players.

It's not an RPG but had rpg'ish like elements but the "Warhammer Historical: Legends of the Old West" game always seemed interesting. Never owned the books myself but I wish I had picked them up as there hard as hell to find now.

Sort of a Mordheim/Necromunda/Wild West type game. Possies controlled by each player shoot it out over some sort of scenario objective. Combine it with "Whitewash City" print and play frontier town set by Eric Hotz of "Harn" fame and you have a great game.

P.S. he (Eric) has a huge list of Wild West Wargame links for anyone interested. And if you scroll down he has a list of "Wild West Role-playing games". Looks like there are a dozen or so there.

I'm asking for a refund of Aces & Eights 2E hopefully they'll refund my $500 pledge.

Why? What happened?

That is a large pledge.

Jolly and his crew don't like people like me and don't want us around so I'd just like my money back. Say what you will about pundit and his nutty views, I think he is welcoming to folks. Jolly & his crew aren't so I am just following their lead.

I love westerns and I wanted to have my grandfathers photo in the book. He passed away and Kenzerco never followed up to have me get the photo to them.

That is a shame. Sorry to hear that. My grandfather also loved Westerns. I have his books here on my shelf and actively use them for Boot Hill games.

Have you been reading the Kickstarter updates?

As Dave Kenzer noted in the update, we apologize for not giving more frequent updates. We tried to update at least once a month but schedules and holidays got the better of us and we dropped that ball. We will strive to do better in the home stretch. Hope every one has a happy new years.

For those who backed the level to have your character put in the book -- there still seem to be a few stragglers who haven't gotten their information in. So I'm putting the information out once again - If you haven't done so please send a photo and character details to steve@kenzerco.com as soon as possible. If you don't make it into the pdf, your character can still be inserted in the digital files before press time.

You're Kenny Johnson, right?  The same day you posted this:

I don’t think we are getting the game this month. I’m supposed to have my photo in the book but I don’t know the rules for it. Kind of disappointing after pledging a lot of money to the project and the communication has been lacking.

Hey folks with the holidays and getting all the periphery A&8 products finished he team here has been stretched and busy working on our various tasks. Apologies if we've been slow to check in here. We're been hammering and sawing and moving lumber behind the curtains and a bit too distracted it appears.

I thought we'd posted this several times but for those asking about characters/photos in the book the 'instructions' are to send send a scan or copy of your character sheet w/ background/photo to service@kenzerco.com. Please put "A&8 Kickstarter character pledge" or something similar in the subject heading. We'll take it from there.

We'll have an official update soon. We're a 3 man team and occasionally we forget to look up from our work stations. Especially since we all work remotely and have a virtual office.

Feel free to poke/nudge and throw a brick as needed.

I emailed them December 9th. Never heard back from them.

Quote from: Gwarh;1018944Did anyone back that recent Kickstarter for the Swedish RPG "Western".

I'm kicking myself for not backing the Kickstarter. It seems that "Aces & Eights" was somewhat inspired by this RPG if I'm not mistaken. Uses the same shot clock mechanic but the Swedish RPG predates Aces n' Eights.

Yep. I'm in for the full haul at Stagecoach Express level.

Is "Western" going to be in English? I don't read Swedish.

Yes. The KS was for a translation of the game to an English version.

I haven't been following the Kickstarter for A&8s 2e, but from what I heard on the Western RPGs G+ group, apparently it's going to be mostly similar to the existing edition. That could be wrong, though.

It's very similar. It's an update with a few slight revisions. It's so similar that I wouldn't even recommend the upgrade tonfolks that own the 1E leather edition
