I've run this game twice, and I'm already planning on running it a lot more. This game just /drips/ theme and change. Weird West is just such a great jam, and GunWitch capitalizes on that Weird West feeling.
Combat feels fantastic. People are usually being creative and clever, or alternatively direct and lethal. Its wonderfully direct and scary and thrilling.
I have been having a ton of fun running this game. The scenarios in the book really help you on your way to make your own. But are also really enjoyable to play through. I've been getting people to play Gun-Witch at every opportunity since I read through the book. And it's great every time.
For this game we built a system from scratch! Dice rolling is all 1d6; you're aiming to roll under the appropriate stat. To represent "supernaturally good aim," you can often shoot or use certain abilities without having to roll at all, but it might require spending Powder - which also serves as your health pool.
I'm a big fan of the occult gunslinger genre, High Plains Drifter is my favourie Eastwood western, I love Spencer Campbell's Drifters and I'm just delving into We Deal In Lead. Please tell me your thinking of a print run or a POD option on Drivethru as I love physical books, it's the feel, and this game looks truely awesome.

This sounds right up my alley. What is the basic dice system like. is it a new system or are you using a pre-existing system.

Having read the reviews above I'm now hoping even more for a print release 😁
I give a little giddy giggle every time a description starts with something like "This fucking guy". Your writing style is delightful. :D
