My Life As A Gamer: Jolly Jeffro Rode Into Brownstone That Day

I said that the #BROSR's next step was to go beyond D&D. That's happening now.

Read that thread. The thrill of exploration and discovery found years ago when Jeffro began this process with AD&D 1st Edition is here again with Boot Hill.

If you want to season your experience, go look up Alexander Macris' Substack article on niche protection and read about his Western experience.

You're going to have your mind blown as you start to put the pieces together. A lot of the complaints that Macris gave about his Western experience goes away when you remove the unstated presumptions that he went into that game with, starting with the presumption of All PCs Are One Party.

Remove that one presumption and all of the other objections go away, and with those also go the presumed remedy--"Just Add Magic"--for the presumed problem of "niche protection".

A real Western has the players on all sides of a conflict, playing it out closer to Braunstein than anything else. Need a go-to example? The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, because if this isn't a probable outcome then you're doing it wrong.

Read that thread and follow it.

Oh, and there's going to be other investigations of long-disdained classics like En Garde! in the future.

The #BROSR is going places. Get on board.
