Part of the Tombstone Destination Event

Tombstone Callout – Thieves Fall Out
Friday, October 25, 2019
Johnny Ringo’s, 60 S 10th St, Tombstone, AZ 85638Tombstone, Arizona, 8pm

Our Doomtown in Tombstone celebration continues. David Orange reprises this Gencon fave of open play with a twist. Challenge the fastest guns and trickiest spells in a casual format while enjoying good food and libations at Johnny Ringo’s.

October, 1881 – Tombstone, deep in the Arizona territory, cowers in fear during the ongoing showdowns between the Cowboys and the Earps. Both factions continue to suffer casualties and have taken time to assess their losses and regroup. The Clantons have retreated to their ranch southwest of town. Several of the gang have decided to cut out with the most recent ill-gotten loot while the getting is still good. The Earps have settled in at Virgil Earp’s house.

You, Pardner, find yourself embroiled in this escalating conflict. Thieves take the money and run. Bounty hunters cash in. Unlock achievements while collecting bounties.

Each player enters Tombstone with the highest of the following bounties:
Doomtown Designer – 5 Bounty
Marshal Event Winners – 4 Bounty
Sheriff – 3 Bounty
Deputy – 2 Bounty
Posse – 1 Bounty
attend event in Weird West-themed Cosplay: +1 to starting bounty

The main factions opposing each other are the Outlaws and Law Dogs.
However, the Anarchists and Fearmongers find themselves loosely allied with the Outlaws.
Meanwhile, the Law Dogs have recruited the First Peoples and Entrepreneurs to their side.
This, however, is NOT a team event. It’s still every dude for themselves.

This is a ‘come and go’ event – dudes can drift into town or leave at any time.

The ‘nuts n bolts’
After a match, the winning player divides the other player’s bounty into theirs
(Losing player gains 0 bounty)

example: Rich (5 bounty) defeats Laura Marie (2 bounty)
Rich adds 0.4 bounty (2/5) and now has 5.4 bounty
(round to tenths, lost decimals NOT tracked or remembered)

If Laura Marie won, it would be:
Laura Marie adds 2.5 bounty (5/2) and now has 4.5 bounty

This encourages ‘level play’ e.g. top players playing each other (and some strategy of the call outs).

While a mismatch doesn’t gain that much for the winning player, losers get 0 points. Think of it as betting on 20-1 long shot horses. You can win big, but more often, you lose and gain nothing at the time. But note that players can gain or work towards bounties, even though they may lose a particular match.

With six days left, new decks to build.

In my zero extra time.

Is there going to be a Check List provided so as dudes can easily check off their “within” and “across” Achievements?

Maybe a couple of Hole-Punches so’s it looks like the paper what been “shot”?
