Welcome to the Wild West RPG. Set in 1868, just recently after the end of the American Civil War, you can do just about anything you want to. Play as anything or anyone from that timeset, really. From outlaws to sheriffs to gamblers to pioneers to merchants to immigrants to politicians...well, you get the idea.
OK, now because this RPG is going to give its players so many freedoms, it is going to be a little different from the others.

This is a very flexible RPG. Because it does not have a lot of storyline or character interaction, it does not require for its players to have a strict attendance, however it will be very complicated and you need to be imaginitive; remember, you have a lot of liberties in this game that you wouldn't in most others. In this way, it is very different from my other RPGs. However, I think that this will be very fun; just life in the Old West, yanno? Anyways, so.... Let it begin.

Tussla, there is room...but I warn ye, there is no war currently going on...you'd either A) Be a veteran(rendering your skills less useful in jobs you find) B) Force me to become completely unrealistic and either start a new war or continue the Civil War. So er...yah...
