Range Wars" is an interactive role playing game where each player is a
character in the American West after the Civil War. The game takes place in
the mythical "New Texazona Territory" which is loosely based on West Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. The players live their lives, experiencing the Old
West as it was (and as it could have been) participating in cattle drives,
ranching, gold and silver mining, trapping, buffalo hunting, running a livery
stable, general store, trading post, saloon, gambling hall, or "House of
Negotiable Affection." Whatever they want to do.

Players begin at the little town of "McCleve�s Ferry" with a small grubstake
and from there attempt to do whatever they please. They can even run for
Sheriff or become an outlaw. There�s a weekly newsletter, "The Texazona Times"
which chronicles their actions. If the life of a settler isn�t appealing, you
can be a "Noble Savage" and hunt buffalo bareback, live in a tepee, or raid
the pale faces for fun and profit.

Each individual player turn consists of a packet in which the player tells the
referee what his actions for the turn are, how he is outfitted with equipment
and possessions and how he spends his money. The turns are processed weekly
and the referee will provide at least a one paragraph story about what has
happened to the character in the meantime.

The Rules are FREE for the asking, as are your first three turns.
