9.99 for the PDF, 21.99 for the Print plus PDF for Boot Hill 3rd Edition.
Two rows of unpainted wooden buildings face each other across the wide, dirt street. A signboard creaks mournfully in the hot wind. Down this track rides a lone figures, tired but alert. His boots, hat, and buckskin jacket are alayered with dust. But the ivory-handled revolver on his hip is spotless and cool. Neither a beacon nor a threat, it's simply there, a part of the man.

1E was the yellow pamphlet. 2E was the box with the card game dispute, and was 1E on steroids with a number of additions (I was a co-editor on it). 3E was a significant revision of mechanics with more role-playing emphasis (3E was primarily Steven Winter). We'll both be at NTRPG and for the price of a few beers we'll happily debate the differences and tell tales. :) --Allen Hammack
ReplyDeletePlayed a lot of Red Dead Redemption recently, and that inspired me to hunt down and find a PDF of Boot Hill first edition. I'm gosh darned pleased as heck to hear about this official POD version. First Star Frontiers, and now Boot Hill?! Can Gang Busters be barrelling down the pipes?!
ReplyDeleteI got my print copy new. We only played once, in a oneshot. For some reason, all but one of us forgot to take any riding.
