Survive the Frontier
A brutal western world of guns, hard choices, desperate towns, old grudges, and consequences that keep moving after the posse rides on.
Frontier of Shadows
Fate Is a Loaded Gun
A gothic Western tabletop roleplaying game where history, myth, violence, faith, and the supernatural collide on a frontier that remembers every choice.
“
This land don't beg for justice — it demands it.
— High Marshal Gideon SteeleWELCOME TO THE FRONTIER
The West You Know Died a Long Time Ago.
Beneath the railroads, mining towns, churches, battlefields, and cities of nineteenth-century America lies another history: one written in bargains, blood, old powers, and the pressure of the Veil.
Bend Fate
Hex Coins let characters push against fate itself — but every demand for a different answer can draw attention from beyond.
Face the Veil
The supernatural is not decoration. The Veil is a living threshold where mortal history, strange powers, and darker obligations collide.
THE FOUNDATION
Three Books. One Living World.
The rules, the Game Marshal's authority, and the hidden history of the setting each have a place of their own.
