A Tale Told Out West

A Tale Told Out West is a one-page, one-shot RPG focused on collaborative story-telling in the wild west.

Are you a liar, a tycoon, a lover, or a bandit?

Will your goal be to reunite with a lost love, shoot the sheriff, or win a poker tournament?

Using a standard deck of playing cards, you'll discover, interpret, and alter the story on the fly, working together (or alone) to craft a classic Western tale.

Structured around the classic Texas Hold'em format of The Flop, The Turn, and The River, A Tale Told Out West generates exciting stories with goals, obstacles, boons, twists, and outcomes. During each phase, you'll take actions to interact with the world and the story and help shape what happens next.
