Howdy Partners - (see what I did there?
)
Some members of my gaming group are interested in playing Boot Hill (or at least some type of wild west rpg) - and I wanted to ask the hivemind here if anyone had any thoughts on which version of TSR's classic is the best bang for your buck.
Keep in mind, I have the 2nd edition box set and a few of the early modules.
I know that there are many options out there: Aces & Eights, Sidewinder Recoiled, Deadlands, Down Darker Trails, and the Swedish "Western" game as well. I am looking for something human/historically authentic, so no elves/orcs, supernatural or what not. And being quick and fast is preferred. That being said, I think Boot Hill will be a good choice, but I am not sure which edition I should pull the trigger on.
Is there much support for the 3rd edition? Were there ever any modules put out for it back in the day? I am just trying to get a feel if I should try 3rd or just stick to version I already have (2nd).
If anyone feels like jumping in here to share their thoughts, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks!
