Book excerpt: True West was written way back in 1979 and play tested thoroughly at gaming convention tournaments for about 5 years before it was copyrighted and trademarked in 1984. That makes True West one of the oldest Wild West Roleplaying games and the most play tested RPG's. Nine character templates are provided within this book, making character creation and game setup quick and easy. Many historically accurate weapons and items have been included within the rules. The system is unique and covers everything you ever wanted to know about the old west. The front and back covers and cover art was created by the famous western artist Tom C. Horn, who is a long time friend and gamer himself. I hope you enjoy True West as much as I have in creating it. Get your game on now!
