Little Rock, South Dakota is a quiet enough town. The 36 folk who call it home live simple and humble lives, most wrangle cattle to sell at market; others invest their time down at the dry lake bed in search of gold. Lately there has been talks of a mine opening just outside of town, most see it as a blessing; a means to continue living their humble lives while also putting some money in their pocket. 

The land for the purposed mine has been surveyed and purchased from the local Baron, a private man who rarely leaves his two story manor on the far side of town. Ground was meant to be broken weeks ago but plans came to a screeching halt when the convoy carrying the mines essential building materials was attacked. Marshall Huck and Sheriff Bradbury believe a local gang known as the Whistles is responsible for it, the company responsible for the mine St.Clair Inc has halted any further development until their convoys safety can be guaranteed. 

Now the Marshall and Sheriff are good and capable men but they have limited experience when it comes to tracking and killing, to that end word was put out that a 5000$ bounty was placed upon the Whistles, this attracted all manner of folk causing the population to double overnight. 

Hello! I am looking for three players for this wild west themed one shot. Im not a map maker so I'll do my best to describe the actual town once the adventure begins. Characters must be Human. Magic does not exist on earth, so no spellcasters. Characters start at level 5, the one shot will see them to 10.  Classes available are Fighter, Rogue, Ranger, Barbarian and Monk, be mindful of your subclasses, make sure they fit the premise. 

This is meant to be more of a time-killer one shot with no timeline, You can post as often or as little as you like but that will not stop the story from moving forward if another player pushes it. In that case your character will become a Bot and just move with the group until you post. 

Name:

 Class:


Include a link to your character.

Recruitment ends Saturday, July 11th. From there I will choose three Players that I feel have grasped the concept and have created a character that would fit within the one shot. 

Recruitment has ended! Thank you to all who have applied to play!

What firearm rules will you be using? I'm assuming you're gonna allow firearms, it wouldn't really be a wild west campaign without 'em.

i would love to play... but i dont play human, and i only play homebrews

Zeke Spry

Ability scores: 12 15 12 16 16 15

I'll play if you've got an open slot! 

Name: Samuel Malone, aka "Cross" 

Ability scores: 12 11 9 15 10 17

Class: Rogue, most likely? Was thinking about Ranger with a sort of mystical background, but we can see what others cook up. For now, here’s the character sheet.

Here are a couple alternates: 

Kikkawa Korekiyo, Tokugawan kensei refugee (Monk/Kensei): https://ddb.ac/characters/31671324/9Avpyy

Séraphine Bellegarde, French "privateer" (Fighter/Gunslinger): https://ddb.ac/characters/31672270/nxIUpw

Sounds interesting and different from other settings.

First, i know that with my character i'll pass the no magic rule, but i think it would be interesting to have a shaman-indian type of character.

Name: Redfeather
Class: Barbarian (Ancestral guardian if allowed because of "magic" otherwise totem warrior)
Ability scores: Ability scores: 13 13 14 12 13 12
As for the feat (Variant human) i took magic initiate druid and chose spells that are not absurd and fit with the shaman theme (guidance, infestation, goodberry)

Ability scores: 14 15 15 13 15 13

Name: Gretchen Gallowglass

Class: Monk

Story: Gretchen is the daughter of an Irish bare knuckle boxing champion, seeking her fortune in North America.

This sounds interesting. I'll roll abilities and make a character.

Name: Roland "Night Rider" Houston

Ability scores: 15 17 4 14 11 12

Class: Rogue (Scout)

Backstory: A bounty hunter and tracker with a knack for sneaking up on his bounties.

Sheet: https://ddb.ac/characters/31652690/DfBYkr

@WoobyDoobyDoo Firearms will function the same as they do for the Gunslinger subclass. If something comes up that seems out of place or odd, it will be addressed between myself and the player. If you choose to be a gunslinger you have two pistols at the start of the one-shot. 

@Treewy Interesting! I never considered something like a Indian Shaman! I'd love a character sheet to view to see exactly how you would intend it to work but other than that Im open for it! 


For those who have not provided a character sheet, I enjoy your proposed character but I'd really like to see a character sheet!

Thanks! Those are some AMAZING ability rolls.

Yeah, I don't know why but tend to have pretty good ones most of the time. My first character ever had 5 18's

hullo

Ferius Parfax

human monk/ way of the open hand

now most monks you see nowadays are the devout sort of folk, and the Argosi are no different. Ferius is a bit of a wild card (pardon the pun). she was never a conformist.when she was young her parents and family were murdered, while she was out In the woods. she ran away and found herself on the streets. luckily she was found by an argosi- or two to be specific- they took Ferius in and became her Taysen (mentors in the maetrie ways. maetri for singular). at first she was dubious, but when she saw them fight she wanted to learn everything. they tried to explain to her that there were no fighting techniques, and that all they did was self defence, but she was insistent. she was always so full of anger that girl. when she finished her training, she had amassed a full red deck of cards. these cards are debts. whenever she saves a life or teaches a lesson (not in a bad way) she gives that person the card. she finally learned( after having her life saved by a fellow argosi) that anger is not the answer to anything, and became a fully fledged argosi- but not in the standard way. she is a gambler and a card player. her interpretation of the argosi ways is much different to the others. a lot of people look down on her for that, but she takes it as encouragement. for her attacks she throws or attacks with a deck of razor sharp steel cards (daggers)

I have a full description of the argosi, and if you accept me I will PM you it

Recruitment has ended early! Thank you to everyone who have applied, I have chosen the three players and notified them. If you were not one of them Im sorry but I hope you find another adventure!
