Brimstone before the Fall

[Old Dwarf]

OK-this comes under the madness is upon me waiting for SoB this Fall. I saw a promo on BGG for a new Doomtown. The Game is set
in the same time period as SoB but I wasn't impressed with the Game.

But the idea was planted That a Game set in a Western Town could be modified to Brimstone before it went up in the explosion.Looking
around I found FFG Deadwood. http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_m...i=Deadwood

It's a worker placement/resource type thing that I usually avoid but I figure I can add an Event Table & use Gangs based on SoB
(Hello Scafford Gang)

The Game is probably OoP but I found a copy on Amazon at a good price so I'll be putting up some stuff to tie the Game to Brimstone
when my copy arrives in a few days.

3/31/14-Just added the modification materials up below:

[Old Dwarf]

Deadwood to Brimstone Modifications:

Time Frame each Turn = 1 month Jan 1858-Jan 1863(each year is 12 Turns)

Fractions 3=Danites(Grey), Scafford Gang(Tan), S.W. Processing Co.(Green)

Event Table: Roll at start of each turn after the 3rd Turn (a Turn is after each Fraction completes it's 2 Actions.)

Victory-as per Deadwood + if no side has won by the end of Jan.1863 Dalton Outfitters takes
over the town & then Victory is figured as per usual rules for the 3 Fractions.

Note the term Ranch is converted to a Home area named in line with the Fraction occupation.

Fraction Backgrounds

Danites-Home Area St George- Mormon enforcers seeking to make Brimstone a part of the
Mormon settlements. Brimstone has ignored & rebuffed the LDS Missionaries so a hostile
take over is planned.

Scafford Gang-Home Area the Hide Out-Robbers, hired guns & general trouble makers but
they do their dirty work elsewhere so Brimstone tolerates them.The Gang seeks to take over the
town & turn it into their base to expand their criminal operations.

S.W. Processing Co.-Home Area the Plant- The Company is the main supplier of Beef to
Dalton Outfitters & seeks to control Brimstone to give it more control over its own
workforce. Control of the town would give the company an economic stranglehold
on the Area & a better negotiation position with Dalton Outfitters.


Brimstone Event Table roll d6- 1-4 =No Event/5-6=Event -Roll d6 on Table

1.Fire =Randomly select 1 Building & it's destroyed(place at the bottom of
its Tier Deck. Any occupant is placed back to his home area. Now roll d6 if
a 6 rolled the Fire spreads to D3 adjacent Buildings (randomly choose witch),
follow the same procedure as above to remove Building/occupant.Only 1 d6
roll is made. NOTE- Do not roll for Town Hall, Sheriffs Office & the Church
are exempt from Fire.

2.Apache Raid=Randomly place 1 Cowboy in a Building in Boot Hill.

3.Big Trouble=Randomly move Sheriff to another intersection.

4.Cholera=All Cowboys in town buildings reduced by 1 wound (1 remains 1).

Dance Hall.

1.Dance by the Light of the Moon-Cowboy over does it ,the Gals dump him
dead drunk back to his Home Area.

2.Rough Stuff- Cowboy gets insulted by a Gal & argument leads to her getting
Stabbed.Cowboy is removed to abandoned mine & gets wanted poster.

3.Big Cat Fight,Cowboy takes 1 wound trying to break up.

4.Brawl-Cowboy starts a fight, his Fraction MUST pay d3$ for damages. If
unable to pay full costs benefits for that Building is lost for that turn.
If Building has no benefits Cowboy can not move this turn as he works
off the damage. Note Fraction has to pay if it has any money up to costs.

5. Keep the Lid on-Sheriff is randomly moved to random adjacent Intersection

adjacent to Sheriffs Dept. & the Cowboys to their Home Areas. Fraction may
send a Cowboy at his Home Area to the Posse but if none or he chooses not to do
so then use Random Method.


Note Random Selection is done by assigning a die # to each Cowboy/Building/Intersection
that qualifies.

I played this out & it went very smoothly( a lot of my mash ups don't).
The Scafford Gang won but it was close.
