Wretched Country Second Edition rpg & Down The Dusty Trails of OSR Blood & Glory!

 When it come to the dusty trails of outlaws & raiders on horseback the Red Room might not seem one of the logical choices for your cowboy rpg's but it definitely is! Wretched Country Second Edition is one of my prime choices for classic  Western horror. 

This is following on the heels of our review on this blog of Wretched Country second edition here. Now we're gonna talk about something comepletely different here. And that's the fact that while Wretched Country comes complete with a campaign town baked into the setting. I wanted Hellstone to be the big city and so I turned back to my buddy Dave Woodrum at Fishwife games. And so we turned to his Old West towns and settings  Culpepper Junction and Turquoise Valley respectively. 
And the reason for this is the fact that we've used these two Old Western locations for  Wretched Époque second edition adventures in the past. 
And these two locations have everything that we need to get a campaign right off the ground quickly. 

 Culpepper Junction especially because for our campaigns it's ties to vampires and werewolves. 

For our campaigns a must are the classic Fifties Western precode comic book such as Blazing Sixguns number 1 (IW Publishing, 1958). Blazing Six Guns was a series that had a little bit of everything. Weird murdering NPC's, stoic American Indians, and all of the old standbys for a Wester comic book According to the wiki entry on the gerne; "Western comics gained increasing popularity during the 1950s, surviving well into the so-called Silver Age. Artwork by Everett Raymond Kinstler."

While the rest of the OSR has been focusing on nonsense controversies and the like. We've been concentrating on increasing the campaign options for a cinematic Old West game. This ties into the fact we've got a game this weekend. The PC's are going to be saved from a hang man's noose & given the chance to 'redeem' themselves. Before we go on one of the essential books in my opinion is Wretched Folklore which greatly expands the DM options for spirits, creatures and horror for Wretched Country Second edition.
