People, Plots and Places of the Wild West: Lou’s Landing & The Rendezvous in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation is okay. The text is primarily a two column or two column table format and appeared to be free of errors. As well as the maps, there are some black and white illustrations. Presentation is okay.
The settlement itself is fairly small, making it easy enough to drop into other settings; though not stated in this, it’s also close to A Quiet Little Frontier Town. It would be possible to adapt it for other systems too, though this would require more work, as it would need the various game mechanics for the Rendezvous, which is the major part of the supplement, converting, as well as other stat blocks. None of that is complex, though it may be time consuming. People, Plots and Places of the Wild West: Lou’s Landing & The Rendezvous can be found by clicking here.
