STOP!

DON’T BUY THIS BOOK!

At least, not yet.

The basic rules for the Micro Chapbook RPG system can be downloaded for FREE in any Micro Chapbook through DriveThruRPG.com. Each stand-alone Chapbook includes the complete rules for you to play the game.

With that in mind, this Deluxe Edition Core Rulebook brings the popular system to a Grim Wild West setting and is FULLY COMPATIBLE with all other Micro Chapbook RPG products. You can have a cowboy travel to the fantasy realm, or bring an elf to the old west. It is up to you.

This book includes all the rules for playing a character on the American Frontier. Fight against normal outlaws in shootouts or go up against supernatural creatures who lurk in the dark shadows of the western wilderness. 

The main game focuses on solitaire gameplay, starring a single cowboy, gunslinger, or another western hero. It uses randomly generated “dungeon” scenarios to make each game session a little different. This book includes 5 new scenarios to choose from:

  • Duel in Black Canyon

  • The Mines of Lost Gold

  • Little Lady Lost

  • Caves of the Chupacabra

  • My Darlin’ Is Waitin’  

The universe for this game is brutal, unforgiving, and dark.

Hi Noah! This game caught my attention. I was going to purchase it but I see a warning message... I don't understand the warning very well... Maybe this game is an expansion and it is necessary to also buy a rule book that is no longer available? If you can clarify the problem for me, I would appreciate it. Greetings from Spain.

I think ranged combat should be the focus in this one, at any room size, especially for small arms like a revolver.

Looks pretty great so far, though I do notice "Girt" instead of "Grit" in the book- pages 18 and 30 so far. Might be worth running a find-and-replace on "Girt"!

Is the "Blood" room type supposed to not have an effect?

I have a LOT of the MicroChap games so I am going off that to answer :)

The room tables always effect one of your Primary Stats. The only one missing on that table is the modifier to Strength. And the modifier is usually +1. Therefore I would say the "Blood Room" has a +1 Strength modifier. :)

Hope this helps and have a blast with a stellar game system :)

Can you create a supernatural PC with weird powers or are supernatural abilities for the exclusive use of enemies?

The core book only focuses on normal folks of the old west. You can, however, use the "Books of Magic" from the Micro Chapbook RPG core system with any character in this game. You can even create a fantasy character to use in this world. There will be future game books in the system that allow for playing vampires, werewolves, etc.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
