Gunslinger Update - Core Rule Book

 The Gunslinger Core Rule Book writing is finished!

Last night I finished adding more content to mounts, treasures, human encounters, and the section on important NPC's. It is a time consuming task writing up stats for characters of various levels and the ability scores. But it's done. That was the final section of the Core Rules to be completed. Are there some errors? No doubt, there always are. But the text is as clean as I can make it. It is currently clocking in at 128 pages. Substantially more than I'd originally estimated. So the KS backers, and you, are getting a lot more content, this is making for a much better developed book.

So with that huge milestone completed what is left? You guessed it; the art. At least now I know where all the holes to fill with art are, so I can finalize the list of images that need to be completed.

There is one more important thing to complete: On the Arizona hills adventure. This is pretty well developed so it is mostly a matter of formatting. I've set a hard goal of next Wednesday, May 9th to finish this. I've set hard dates before and blown past them, but I can't keep doing that. Other projects are in the pipeline calling for my attention.

Here is a sample NPC. The notorious con artist Richard C. Flower 

Huckster; LVL: 5; hp: 30; AC: 14; Atk: +4/+0; Dam: 1d4 (derringer); Move: 30'; ML: 8; AL: Neutral; Save: 12; XP: 3,000

STR 14 (+1), DEX 12 (+0), CON 14 (+1), INT 14 (+1), WIS 14 (+1), CHA 16 (+2)

Richard C. Flower was a notorious con artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, best known for masterminding the infamous Spenazuma swindle in Arizona. A charismatic and persuasive figure, Flower convinced investors to pour money into his fictitious Spenazuma Gold Mining and Milling Company, promising lucrative returns from a non-existent mine. Utilizing fabricated maps, expertly forged documents, and staged site visits, Flower successfully deceived investors and amassed a fortune from the scheme. His swindle eventually unraveled, and he faced legal consequences for his actions. Despite his criminal activities, Flower remains a fascinating figure in the annals of American history, embodying the era's larger themes of greed, ambition, and exploitation.
