Wild West Game Experiences

For what it is worth, I'd suggest that the original poster not use the optional rule that there is a 1 in 6 chance that a torso hit results in a vitals hit. In my last campaign set in the 1870's, one player character in an "Outlaw Jose Wales" style confrontation with 3 gun slingers took out two of the three opponents with out too much difficulty, but both he and the third guy were taken out via that 1 in 6 rule. Both required surgery from the town's only Doctor, and only because the player character was operated upon first did he survive. The NPC bled out on the table.

If anyone wants a copy of my GURPS Character Assistant data file for adventure guns, let me know via email, and I'll send it over.
