EVERYONE DIES
IN THE WEST
A cowboy-themed cooperative roleplaying game where the rules are light, consequences are heavy, and comedy is constant!
A TWISTED WORLD
Fantastical terrain, hybrid animal abominations, and unexplainable witchcraft curse this world, and all of it can be traced back to the mysterious element known as ‘Darwin Stone’. This incredibly scarce stone arrives on this planet through meteor showers, and meteor showers alone. Its faint greenish-yellow glow, shifting stone surface, and strange evolutionary properties make people fear it… or seek it out.
EVOLUTION REVOLUTION
Across this wild world exist “Incarnates”, humans who have encountered ‘Darwin Stone’ and have evolved because of it, often taking on the traits or adaptations of the animals of their nearby environment. Whether they wanted to evolve or not, those who find themselves as “Incarnates” must enjoy the benefits of their adaptations and face the constant scrutiny of those who deem them “lesser than”.
WHY PLAY?
nuanced OUTCOMES
A d12-based system allows for a range of outcomes when you roll the die: critical failure, failure, mild success, success, and critical success. The ‘EDITW’ system allows players to have their plans go awry yet grant the opportunity to grab the reins again, rather than killing it altogether with one poor roll!
ENDLESS CREATIVTY
Creativity is the core of ‘EDITW’, and the rule system is designed to encourage and foster this. Players can create any character they could ever think of and easily adapt it to this world in a balanced and easy way. The world is your oyster!
DRAMATIC COMBAT
With several approaches to combat, ranging from slow and methodical to fast and decisive, as well as cinematic action sequences and dying states, you’ll never have a dull moment or chance to catch your breath as you make your name in this wild, wild west!
‘Everyone Dies in the West’ is still in development, but feel free to check it out in its current state!
