Dead Man's Promise: Bounty Hunter
A downloadable game
Update: I've added the previously Patreon-exclusive designed .pdf for the game!
It's the Feywild West. You are a werewolf bounty hunter with several chips on both your shoulders, and you need to make a living out on the road. Read wanted posters in the towns you drift through, hunt down the Bounties, then bring your proof to a Dead Man's Promise (DMP) outpost for payment.
This is a basic d6 tables solo game that you can journal if you like or just play straight with some paper to mark your progress.
Content warnings: this game has references to incarceration, bounty hunting, gun violence, law enforcement, and children in danger.
Developed for the Lone Wolf Solo TTRPG Jam Mk 2: https://itch.io/jam/lone-wolf-jam-2
Based in the Let's Be Legendary Feywild West universe.

Dark Mirror, congrats on the game! I really enjoyed my time in the Feywild west and intend to keep playing. It's one of my first solo RPGs, and I couldn't have asked for a better welcome.
Tracking and hunting werewolf bandits as a gunslinger is a lot of fun. The flavor and mood setting in the booklet is on point.
Thank you!
Oh my god, this is incredible, thank you so much for playing! Your fiction is fantastic. I'm very honored my game could be a vehicle for such a work.
Thanks for the kind words. It was my pleasure!
Glad I stumbled upon this game. What a thrilling ride in the wild Wild West!!
5 stars.
So happy you enjoyed it!
It’s very fun and easy to explain to others. The concepts can even be used in future sessions on other games. Chasing the target the way you have it setup is such a great logic bomb.
