from the introduction: A role-playing game inspired by the Boot Hill RPG, Law of the Gun and watching a zillion Westerns on TV. designer's blog comment: I have a copy of 2nd Edition Boot Hill somewhere in storage, which I’m too lazy to dig out. So instead I looked around the internet for some information on Boot Hill with the thought of using it as the basis of a Gamma World type game, something tactical, quick and deadly. I gleaned enough information to come up with this... It’s not exactly a Boot Hill clone, especially considering I don’t have a copy of that game to reference. But I think it is tactical, quick and deadly with a whiff of a RP element. However, it is only a first step, a framework if you will.
