BACKGROUND ‘Arizona's inthis year, 1882, the wildest and most dangerous place in ‘America. Despite the fet that the first settlement was built in 1580, thea desertsané rav-boned mountains of the territory have never attracted anyone but the hardiest of pioneers. Civilization in the “Arizona Territory consists of a few score dusty towns and mining ‘camps seattered along a handful of rivers or nested in the mountains ‘where the riches silver veins are found. Most are boom towns whose ‘economies are based on mining or cattle rustling. Having grown up ‘overnight, they will also disappear as quickly with the fencing of the range or the depletion of the mines which are the source of their prosperity. Aside from the wide-open boom towns and mining amps, a sprinkling of isolated ranches are the only evidence that ‘man ever came to this desolate place ‘This isthe land of the bandito and the Apache, Here a man must shoot fast and straight if he is to survive, The only law outside of the townsisthe Army and the small company of Arizona Rangers under the control ofthe Territorial Governor.

The last week of the campaign is devoted to closing election rallies. Election Day'isa special final play session, The ten weeks in between are devoted to campaigning. This rules section describes in detail hhow cendidatesare selected, what they ean do to influence the voters ‘and how to decide who wins the election, Please note that, for game purpores, the weck begins on Tuesday and ends on Monday. THE PACTIONS cxxexxcxxexXKEXNXEKEEENEEXEEED ‘There are two main political factions in the game: THE LAW & ORDER FACTION and THE COWBOY FACTION. The first consists mainly of the merchants and” decent townsfolk," supported by the local ranchers and the large land owners. The second faction consists of many ofthe local miners, laborers, smaller ranchers(who are often rustlersand gunmen on the side)and the saloon keepers and fthers. who Want 0 see the town kept fairly wide-open and “hospitable.” ‘The LAW & ORDER FACTION is demanding stricter and more Vigorous enforcement of the law in Promise City and the surround ingarea, Among other things, this faction wants to see a number of Tocal “hard cases” (Mongo Bailly, the Koontz brothers, Dave Math- er, Frank Leslie, Curly Bill Brocius, Joe Weems and Sally Fox) arrested or emoved from the county (with or without a “fai tra). ‘The LAW & ORDER FACTION charges that Cochise County Sheri Johnny Behan, and his representative, Colin Hunter, are protecting these men and their friends beeause they want their up- port in the upcoming election. This action isalso demanding an end {fo men going armed inthe strets,a 10 pm curfew when all the bars Would have to be closed, the removal of the tent city that has been {rowing upeast of town, enactment of a vagrancy ordinance and the licensing of all saloons and other “places of entertainment” as a ‘means of raising revenue. ‘THE COWBOY FACTION charges that the LAW & ORDER ‘peopieare purposely misrepresenting good men as criminals, that the fntire sve is ® smokescreen and that the large land owners and ranchers want to use the demand for law & order to run off any competition. Among other things, THE COWBOY FACTION in- ‘ists that THE SILVERBELL MINING COMPANY is attempting to force out smaller mining operations in the area and jump the claims of independent prospectors, that Sheriff Hollister isconduct- ing “campaign of terror” against members ofthe faction and that the VIGILANTES (who support the LAW & ORDER FACTION) are running wild and are fat worse than the common criminals they attempt 10 punish. The COWBOY partisans also charge that the ‘Shaws, Kingsand Morandsare trying to control the open range and keep other brands off of it Each faction consists of a hard core of supporters who are Flemly ‘Committed to that side's victory inthe election. There are 48 regis- tered voters in Promise City Firmly Committed to the LAW & ORDER FACTION who cannot be talked or scared out of voting the “straight law & order wicket” ‘There are 40 registered voters Firmly Committed tothe COWBOY FACTION. There are 9 other registered voters Nominally Aligned with the LAW & ORDER FACTION whose vote may change and there are9 others Nominally Aligned with the COWBOY FACTION whose vote may change, ‘There are 32 registered voters who aren aligned with either faction, ‘Their prelerence may change repeatedly during the campaign. In general, the alignment of non-voters will not change (except where Such non-voters are married or otherwise closely related to a voter ‘whose aljgnment changes). The alignments ofall of the NPC's in the game are given on the NPC LIST. 2 In general, the GM should make the decisions concerning how a faction operates. However, if one or more players are running for office as part ofa faction’s sate of candidates, the GM may wish 10 allow those players to actually run ther faction, withthe GM playing the roles of the NPC's in the faction (and, in those roles, inputtingin the faction’s decisions). Whoever controls a faction or independent candidate should also play that faction or candidate's hed gunmen ‘and campaign workers (though the GM may wish to retain some contrl in that regard), THE CANDIDATES eononooeemrcroerss ss: ‘There are 7 offices to be filled in the Promise City election in ‘November: the mayor, § city councilmen and the marshal. There are ‘no candidates for any ofthese offices atthe beginning ofthe game However, both the hard core supporters of the two factions will hold separate meetings during the week toccome up witha slate of candi- dates which that faction intends to support. The members of the faction will then sign the nominating petitions of their candidates land no others. The slates of candidates which are expected to be finalized at these meetings are listed below. cowBoY LAW & ORDER OFFICE CANDIDATE CANDIDATE, Mayor Hamilton Fisk (50) Neal Cassidy (57) Councilman Evan Adair (50) Derrick Avery (49) Councilman Tector Driscoll (46) Dr. JimEaton (56) Councilman Justin Boyer (SO) Bili Watkins (S1) Councitman Tom Whipple (45) Frank Condon (52) Councilman Burton Lumley (44) Zebadiah Cook (51) Marshal Colin Hunter (41) Bret Hollister (55) Each of these men is firmly committed to his faction, will never ‘change factions in the normal course ofa game and cannot be bought forscared off, Atleast that's what their supporters believe. The name ofeach candidate is followed by a number in parentheses. This isthe total number of votes that candidate has lined up at the start of the ‘campaign. This number wil change during the campaign. However all voters committed toa faction will support all ofthe candidates ‘nominated by that faction so the minimum number of votes whicha candidate can get is equal to the number of voters supporting his faction. The GM willneed to keepa record ofthe number of votersin each faction and ofthe numberof voters supporting each candidate, ‘making changes in these numbers as the game progresses ‘The COWBOY FACTION meeting i being held at THE PALACE. SALOON (25) on Wednesday afternoon while most of the support: cers of the Bible Citcle, The LAW & ORDER FACTION meeting is also being held on Wednesday afternoonat the CHURCH OF GOD. after the Bible Circle meets, Deadline for filinga nominating petition is Friday at noon. Petitions must be filed with Judge Nat Isby at fis office (13) ‘The GM may wish to vary the slates of candidates in two ways: 1. He could substitute the names of other NPC's for some of those on the slates. 2. He could allow some ofthe players o go tothe meetings at which the candidates are being selected and attempt to have theit own, names substituted. Only registered voters can be candidates, but those player characters who find lodging in town can register to vote with Judge Isby any time prior 10 Friday at noon,The GM may also wish o allow players to attempt to run for office sndependent of either faction, However any player wishing to do 50 ‘must collect 30 signatures of registered voters who are not fiemly ‘Committed to either faction ona nominating petition and filet wth Judge Isby by noon on Friday of the first Campaign Week, NOTE: Collecting signatures involves going door todoor throughout Prom- Sse City and this sa good way for players to familiarize themselves with the town, Wa players characteris nominated as part ofa faction’ slate, he 44utomatially starts ot witha number of votes equal tothe number ‘of voters committed to his faction (40 if part of the COWBOY FACTION slate: 48 i part ofthe LAW & ORDER FACTION slate) The GM should roll d10 and add the resulting number of votes to those already committed to the player character. These additional ‘votes represent persons who “Tike the stranger look" and will vote accordingly. Ila player’ character runs for office san independent. he starts out witha numberof votes equal 0 the results ofa d10 die roll, Na voters committed ta faction wllever vote foram independ= nt unless he has been endorsed by an organization associated with that faction, See ENDORSEMENTS AND PRESS SUPPORT. THE CAMPAIGNS Inorderto win inthe Novemberelection, the candidates for marshal snd mayor must capture a majority of the votes(7S of 48 possible, ‘hot counting newly-repistered player character voters). I the action Candidates and one of more independents should split the vote for ‘one ofthese offices withoutanyone gaining a majority then a special runoffelection must beheld a week ater the gular election withthe tio men who got the most votes as candidates. In the election of council members, the five candidates with the largest number of votes are automatically elected to city counel, Each voter gts 0 Vote for five men for counei. Therefore, sis possible for some council members to be elected who did not get a majority of the votes ast. (Candidates gain votes by campaigning. In order to conduct acam- paign, a candidate must have a Campaign Headquarters, some Campaign Workers and Campaign Funds with which to pay © penses. Anycandidate lacking one or more ofthese elements dutinga ‘week willbe restricted in what he can do that week. Campaigning Consists of attending Rallies, making Speeches and Public Appeat- fancesand geting Endorsements and Press Support. thes campaign functions (in which the candidates are not directly invalved) are listed in the COSTS section of these rules Ache end ofeach week, ‘the GM_ consults the GUIDELINES listed under ISSUES & EVENTS to determine how the week's campaign activities have ected the voters. ‘EXPENSES Campaigning costs money nd the candidates wll have have some source(s) of income with which 10 pay expenses over and above thei lining expenses. There are theee main sources of campaign funds Donations. Contributions and Private Funds, They are discussed below. Following the section on sources of campaign Tunds 6 2 Characters can identify (and shoot at) a target by moonlight fata maximum distance of 60 fet. If the targets neat 8 good Tight source (lantern, gas light, etc) this range is doubled. If there is no moon and the arget is not near alight source. the range i 12 feet (two squares) «.

COLLECTING DONATIONS: The candidates’ gunmen can be Seni out to collect donations from unaligned persons oF persons Committed 10 the opposition. In such eases, outright threats will, seldom be made, but subtle bullying is permissable, The effect of Such bullying depends on the BRAVERY of the person being bullied casually merchant in his store), The GM adds together hash oi the BRAVERY modifiers ofthe vstimand rlls210-H the results greater than the vilim’s combined BRAVERY modifiers. the victim is properly intimidated and will make a contribution of, 2410 dollars Otherwise, the victim will simply refuse tobe intim- ‘ated. Only one “donation” ofthis type mabe collected from each character and this tactie may not be used on persons who are hominally aipned with the same faction asthe candidate whose ‘gunmen are making the collection. Once this sort of “donation” has heen collected from a person. that person will not voluntarily donate money tothe Iaetion or candidate whose gunmen collected from him. 4. PROTECTING OR DISRUPTING RALLIES: | One of the Prime duties ofa candidate's gunmen wil Be to sce that his rallies are not disrupted while going to other rallies and disrupting them by starting fights. heckling speakers, euining the food. or anything cle short of outright murder. Once gunmen star disrupting rally bbyany means other than simply heckling, the persons in attendance athe rally will start to eave as rapidly as posse a the rate of 10, personsmaking theirexitevery IO seconds Ha fight actually starts (someone ges called out or takes swingat another character), this will increase to 440 persons pet 10 second turn, Those with Com. bined BRAVERY modifiers greater than willstayand participate aman fighting. Once the fighting is over, S05 of those who left the 2» rally wil eturn if the rally i still n progress.

Every public event in Promise City and the surrounding area will have some impact on the votes. ‘causing some to become committed to a faction they were only ‘nominally supporting, others to joina faction or switch factionsand sll others to support a particular candidate, regardless of faction, Keeping track of the evershfting pattern of votes and alignments during play would be difficult (if not impossible). Therefore, all effects which the game's events may have on the opinions and ati- tudes of NPC's are calculated at the end of each weekly session. These effects are left entirely to the discretion of the GM. However, tohelp him decide how to.valuate the effets of each session of play. GUIDELINES section is included below. Some ofthe players’ actions may get so out of hand as to play havoe ‘with the campaign itself (for example, methodically gunning down all of the opposition candidates). The CONSEQUENCES section is Concerned with techniques the GM can use to keep the players from engaging in wholesale slaughter by placing realistic consequences lupon such slaughter. The three main agents of these consequences Willbe THE ARMY, THE ARIZONA RANGERS and THE VIG- TLANTES, all of which are described under CONSEQUENCES. Finally, the SCENARIOS section contains seven sample events which could take place ina BALLOTS & BULLETS. game. These may be played out as separate adventures or the GM may wish 10 aartange for these or similar events toactually occur in hiseampaiga, GUIDELINES To determine how many votes a candidate gained as a result of ‘campaign activity during the week, add the following sumbers “1 Foreach saloon in which the candidate did not buy one or more rounds of drinks for the house during the week.

There are atleast 2 possible sides to each scenario. The BOOT HILL™ game sequence of play is followed throughout. 1. HOLLISTER'S LAW Ss Informed of trouble at the TRAIL DUST SALOON (29), Marshal Hollister leaves the RIO GRANDE (34) and walks up Alien Street toward a disturbance infront ofthe saloon. He is armed with his FDR6 and # hunting knife. Outside the TRAIL DUST is Mark Young He being atrassed by three members ofthe COWBOY FACTION because he has been passing out handbils for Derrick Avery (LAW & ORDER candidate for cty council). The three COWBOY FACTION partisans are Elmer Koontz, Perry Longand Kurt Lynch. All three have had several drinks. As Hollister ap- proaches, Lynch noties him and motions to his companions. Asthe three men turn toward the marshal, Mark ducks under the narrow ‘wooden porch othe TRAIL DUST Since Koontz, Longand Lynch ‘eallsightlyiquored up and hav their pstolson them they arin ‘no mood to take any nonsense from Hollister. The marshal stops Iron of the HAMILTON FISK LAW OFFICE (32)and sugges to the three that they hand over their guns which they don't need in town anyway. The thee laugh. Someone makes a move. First, the players should set up Koontz, Long and Lynch in any squares in front of the TRAIL DUST first. Hollister is then set up between Fisk's office and "Painless im” Eaton's office. The scenario ‘ends when Hollister is dead or unconscious oral three of his adver- Saries are dead, unconscious or have surrendered. A check must be ‘made against Koonty’s and Long's BRAVERY if Lynch is killed oF seriously wounded. If they fail the check, they will €rop their guns and try to surrender (the marshal can sil shoot them, though). 30 2. HANG EM HIGH en) Marshal Hollister is locked inside his office (10) and has Elmer Koontz locked up in the attached jailhouse. I is about 8:30 on moonlit ightand band of hooded armed men has pathered outside the jail. They include: Rudy Baines, Carl Berman, Alton Boyd, Hannibal ané Maxwell Brown, Mathias Dandoy, Patrick Enlon, Coole Fagen, Roger Fly, Fred Cleslr, Boston Harker, Kevin Kelly, Cole Rixton, The Sherman, Erie Lee S Young, The men areall armed andthe have brought along ope They intend to hang. Koonta for accidentally shooting Jossh Young’ bos, Mark, while esting arrest. Holster refuses to turn ‘over is prisoner and the mob prepares to storm the jal In preparation for this very situation, Hollister has blown out the lights inside the office, loaded all ofthe rifles and shotguns in the place and turned Koontz loose and armed him. As the vigilantes advance, Koontz and Hollister take careful aim at the figures sil- houetied by the lights of the GREAT WESTERN BOARDING HOUSE & CAFE (1) across the street ‘The players should set up Koontz and Hollister frst and then set up the erowd outside. Players on the vigilante side should each controls to6 characters.

IPhe fail his check, he immediately charges out the front door and makesa run forit, Whenever there are less than S Vigilantes lft the game is over and the remaining citizens run away If Koontz is still alive and the vigilantes are still outside after $ minutes, the game ends because members of the COWBOY FAC- TION have been alerted and are coming to the rescue,3. MONGO BAILLY'S BACK IN TOWN Informed that notorious rustler and gunman, Mongo Bailly isin town and tearing up the LONG BRANCH SALOON (38), Marshal Hollsterarms himself with his pistoland a double-barrelled shotgun find enters the saloon by the front door. Inside, Bally has downed labout six drinks and is in the process of tying to shoot down the trystal chandelier with his six-shooter. The placeisempty except for Ray Singer who ishiding behind the bar. Everyone else haseither run ‘outside oF hidden upstairs. Mean as Bailly is when drunk, he isa usually likeable rascal, very popular with the COWBOY FACTION fand a personal friend of Hollister’, The marshal must try to talk Bailly nto comsing quietly to jal. Ihe fil, Baill wll probably ake fa shotat him. The marshal cannot shoot until Bally oes, Both men Will then shoot to kill. The marshal is placed in the doorway of the Saloon fist, Then Bailly is placed anywhere inside on the frst floor ‘xcept behind the bar. o [ov] 5. DARK OF THE MOON Intent on revenging Paget Flashman's killing, Conrad Booth and Edsel Trask lay in wait for Dylan MacLeash behind the LONG BRANCH SALOON (35). All three men are armed with pistols. As MacLeash step into the outhouse by the saloon's back door, the two ‘gunmen advance from their hiding place behind SLADE SHED (G7). However, both Trask and Booth have had several drinks and fare a litle unsteady on their feet, Trask trips over a rock and MacLeash is alerted. Sticking his head around the corner of the outhouse, he sees the approaching assassins, recognizes them and Feaches for his gun... The players should first place MacLeash atthe ddoor of the outhouse. Then Trask and Booth should be placed between the outhouse and the shed about 12 fet (2 squares} away from Macleash, The two sides will fight tothe death in this unlighted yard without even a moon to help their aim. 3 4. FLASHMAN'S HONOR Gambler Paget Flashman, one of the COWBOY FACTION: strongest supporters, has been a thorn in the sie of the LAW & ORDER people throughout the campaign, persistently heckling the faction’s candidates and causing trouble at LAW & ORDER rallies. So when LAW & ORDER "campaign worker” Dylan Macl cash sets into a high stakes game of draw poker with Flashman at the LONG BRANCH SALOON (35), iis possibie that motives other than recreation are present, As the evening progresses, MacLeash continues to lose heavily. Flashman wins big. By 10 olock inthe tvening a crowd of curious watchers has gathered, It is then that Dylan MacLeash accuses Flashman of cheating, Incensed at the accusation (which is for once untrue), Flashman suggests that he and Macteash step out into the street. Both men are armed, Both are dangerous. Only one will walk away. One ofthe characters should be placed at each end of the block in which the LONG BRANCH is Tocated in the center of Main Street, Once in place, they can begin walking toward each other or draw and feat the players‘discretion,6, THE BATTLE OF PROMISE CITY § Inthe last week ofthe campaign, the LAW & ORDER FACTI about to hold their final big rally on Main Street between CASSIDY LUMBER (60) and the WELLS FARGO BARN (68).
