Coffin Rock is named for the large, morbidly shaped bluff looming over the town. A once thriving boom town built around The Crooked Earth Mine. Now, though, with the copper claims all but played out and people have fled the area to try and make a living elsewhere, it is just a reminder that this town once had hope. |
Rising up from the plains of Kansas and crossing westward into Colorado brings a traveler to the Rocky Mountains. The rugged Colorado territory is home to many hundreds of great peaks in excess of 10,000 feet, riddled with seams of valuable minerals. Countless boom towns have sprung up to drag their fortunes from the earth’s rocky clutches. | Rising up from the plains of Kansas and crossing westward into Colorado brings a traveler to the Rocky Mountains.

While there is the potential for a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict in a game like this one, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption. Games like that simply do not need a GM, and I would much rather spend my time running games that ''do'' need a GM. | While there is the potential for a fairly significant amount of player vs player conflict in a game like this one, I prefer not to run games that lean heavily to that assumption.
