Final layout is finishing up for the Six-Gun Doomsday book. We were targeting a release day of April 1, but it looks like proofing the print version will likely stretch into April.
But Fear Not!
We have an additonal oen-shot adventure - The Fall of Fort Usher - for Six-Gun Doomsday, which we'll release in PDF format for backers of all levels!
Please let us know if you have any question at [email protected] best to all,
Hi all, first I'd like to thank you for your support, because we couldn't do this without you!
SCHEDULE UPDATE
First let's talk about the release schedule. We had anticipated release at the end of January 2026, but that schedule's been pushed out to the end of March 2026. We've been hard at work on the book, including:
Online playtesting. The adventure's grown so much into a better scenario than we'd envisioned.
Expansion of the Rules Section. If it wasn't clear before, Six-Gun Doomsday will be a standalone book. It uses a lot of the rules from the Cypher System (from Monte Cook Games) with many changes and additions to fit the scenario, so we'll incorporate all the rules so that you don't need any additional rulebooks to play this game.
We're completing the editing and final touches on the manuscript for the rules and the adventure. Late December and early January will be set aside for completing the layout and art.
MEET US
We'll be at PAGE outside Philadelphia January 15-18. You can find us at the Grimwood Games booth or the Monte Cook Games booth.
We're running a new Six-Gun Doomsday adventure titled The Fall of Fort Usher at two game cionventions in the Spring. You can play at these conventions: TotalCon in Marlborough, MA on Saturday February 21. Rising Phoenix GameCon in Milford, MA on Saturday 25. If you want to meet up with us, email [email protected]
Hi all; we'd estimated the book delivery would be at the end of January 2026. I'm sorry to say it'll be a bit later than that. We''re aiming for shortly after that and will keep you updated when dates firm up.
Meanwhile if you'd like to play in one of our playtests of the game we're running them online in December. You just need to join our Discord server:
Hi all, sorry for the radio silence, we've been nose down on the Six-Gun Doomsday work! The rules, setting etc are in editing now, and looking great. If you were an early playtester there's been a lot of cool changes!
Four character Types: Believers, Searchers, Tinkerers and Defenders.
Tons of new Descriptors
More new Foci
wacky creatures
Cyphers are one time abilities, in alignment with "subtle" cyphers from the Cypher System Revised rulebook.
Mechanical cool stuff are Artifacts, usually with a limited number of uses, but you could always tinker with them...
Character damage: characters start with 6 levels in their Life Pool, and damage removes a level (or more!).
Death options: at zero life levels, you can choose to "Go For Broke" (flipping a coin and either dying permanently or being alive again with 4 Life levels, or go "Aces and Eights", making a deal with the spirits, gaining 4 Life levels, but perhaps chancing later repurcussions... NEXT STEPS Finish the artwork, finish the complete adventure (there's been a ton of cool things added!) and final layout.
We'll be finished Spring of 2026, as early as possible.
Catch us at upcoming Conventions! We'll be at PAGE (Philly Area Gaming Expo), TotalCon and Rising Phoenix.
