First off, this is a faboulous game for the amount of time it was made in. I highly recommend it as a base to work off of for a larger campaign.

My primary challenge with this system was the mixutre of high context and low context systems, things that were based heavily in mechanics and things more based on narritive, I think that a bit more polish and it would easily be one of the best light old west rpgs out there.

In general it could just use a bit more content and a bit more polish, but I really enjoyed playing it and its definelty worth its price.

Ballad of the Pistolero combines dramatic roleplay with a set of rules that fit into 45 illustrated pages. It's fairly simple, fun, and certainly the perfect buy for starting Game Masters, or for those wanting a break from the 600+ pages (Not counting expansions) that form the rules of D&D.
