Weird West is a live role-playing game that immerses the player (you!) in to analternative world of nightmare creatures on a twisted frontier. We’re striving to bringyou LRP, call based ranged combat, occult phenomena and most of all good fun in thisalternate Wild West.Players have a choice of classes they can play, each with their own advantages anddisadvantages that define the skills you have to use in the game and how you will beable to develop your character. Combat utilises both the classic LRP foam and latexweapons and replica style cap guns to represent the weapons used by the Hunters of theworld and uses a simple call based system to represent damage and effects caused bythese weapons. Combat is covered in more depth elsewhere in this booklet, wherefighting safely is explained in full alongside the descriptions of damage calls and effects.In order to create a safe and fun environment, we expect everyone to have read this andbe aware of it. The game is played completely “uptime” meaning everything thathappens in the game is played out during events there is no “downtime”. Most of all weencourage people to have fun we are pitching this to the role player not the meta-powergamer.A note on the settingThe world that you are about to begin reading about is very different from the one youknow. This world is like ours in many ways and has a lot of the same history but in thiscorner of the multiverse certain events happened or possibly didn’t which have shapedthe history of the planet in very different ways. In this world something caused a rift inthe fabric of reality allowing all the evil creatures and monsters from humanities darkestlegends and nightmares to pour into our world. As a result of this changed history wesee the series of events we have laid down throughout this rulebook and the associatedhistories and backgrounds. Another huge difference is that due to the different turn ofevents that began with the arrival of the monsters, science moved down very differentpaths, the esoteric was accepted as a reality and weapons designed to propel newmaterials were created. Ultimately, this world is different, the time scales are different,things happened or didn’t happen according to the forces that affected them and that isthe world you need to embrace to fully experience this alternate world.
