How To Join & Play

Gone West - 1870, is a small story telling, free form/open ended fantasy role playing game owned by Bill Schmitt and hosted by Toff and The Mystery & Magic Company. Think carefully about what type of character you will play and how he/she/it will fit into Gone West.

For example, is the character a good or a bad influence on others, are they rough and tough or meek, mild or civil? Are they a farmer, rancher, outlaw, railroad engineer, merchant, gambler, preacher, etc... After you have done that, petition the Game Master for entrance into Gone West by filling out an Application For Admittance.

If your character is seen to add to the game, and to the enjoyment of others in the game, you will be notified of acceptance within 1 day.

Your character can be a villain, and often the villains provide the greatest entertainment, or any type comfortable to you. Please note that the application process is not an automated process, the GM judges every application on a case by case basis.

Where possible, if your character is not accepted on the first try, don't take it personally, it is a game, and it simply means either more balance is needed, or more information is required. Take your time redrafting it or creating a new one. Keep in mind this is a western, not a ninja or super hero RPG.

You can either re-submit another character, taking time to re-read the instructions more closely or go here and try another world in the M&M Game Forums.
