You step from the cool shade of the Long Branch Saloon into the midday
heat of Promise City. Loosening your Colt in its bolster, you look down
Main Street and spot the leather and denim-clad stranger who called you
out. Citizens of the town scramble for cover as they sense the
forthcoming battle. The outlaw doesn't look fast enough to match your
draw, but... wait! Your keen eyes catch the unmistakable glint of the
sun against gun metal from the roof of the dance hall - the yellow
coward has a buddy who's going to shoot you in the back! What will you
do? Think fast, or you'll be the next resident of... BOOT HILL!
BOOT
HILL is the game of role-playing in the Wild West of history and
legend. Each player adopts the persona of their character, becoming a
shiftless outlaw robbing banks and stages, a renegade half-breed leading
Indians on the warpath, straight-shooting sheriff determined to clean
up the town, and so on. This boxed version contains a revised and
expanded rules booklet (which now includes ratings for many of the
real-life "fastest guns that ever lived"), a campaign map for El Dorado
County ("Somewhere in the Southwest"), percentile dice, and a 34" X 22"
map of Promise City, including a movement grid which can be used with
the counters provided or by miniatures, and detailed structure drawings
showing door, window, and stair locations as well as the height of the
buildings! BOOT HILL merges the West of movies, television, and
literature with reality to form the locale for endless hours of
adventure and fun. Strap on your gun-belt, and enter the world of BOOT
HILL!
"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal
