Bounty of the Week, 2nd edition[edit]

After playing Neon City Overdrive, I (Rich) decided to pull some of the mechanics from that game to bolt them onto BotW. Those mechanics handled Leverage (an abstract economy system), Traumas (a more permanent Harm), Drives (to know why a bounty hunter does the job), and Retirement (a mechanic for epilogues!)

In May 2021, we playtested a five-session series. The cast of PCs:

  • Tal'ahn Jendra the Twi'lek, a Crooked (played by Francisco Olivera)
  • J0-D1 the Constructed (played by [[Steven Watkins])
  • Mandel the Hard Case (played by Madjay Brown)
  • Jocasta the Sensitive (played by Brandon)
  • Wini "Win" Kesyk the Trainee (played by Danielle B)
