The Game

Shadows and Spurs is a group tabletop pen and paper role-playing game, inspired by the 19th century American Midwest. To play, you will need some dice and a character sheet, though a Hexagonal battle map and tokens or miniatures can help enhance the game during combat sequences. Shadows and Spurs is refereed by a game master. The other players take control of characters who act as wild west folk surviving dark evil monsters and exploring the new frontier. They are neither a hero nor a villain, but someone who lives in shades of morally grey, just trying to get by in an almost lawless land.  The game is player-facing, which means only the players have to roll dice.
