Show Down At High Noon

This town ain't big enough fer the both of us.

Basic Information

The Show Down is The Western version of a Duel. Two Gunslingers face each other, standing in the middle of the street. The staredown is like a Psychic Duel, and the scene is played up for dramatic tension. The only cover is occupied by Innocent Bystanders (who might also peer out of windows). Suddenly, there's a motion, a sound, and someone collapses to the dirt. Additional imagery and details can be found here.

Game and Story Use

• An important part of The Western. Getting a PC to play "fair" is tough, though. My players would rather ambush or gang up.
