Each PC starts the game with 6 Bullets. To resolve any conflict that’s worth considering, the GM holds an auction, and each PC bets a number of Bullets against the GM’s Secret Bid, a number they’ve assigned to the difficulty and danger of what’s at hand, but they’re not about to tell you. It's a unique system. Some might even call it plumb strange, but, it services the setting well. You get your Bullets back by doing cowboy things like riding a long while, sharing a campfire, or singing a sad song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a little town out there somewhere, out West, called \"Johnsford\".
