what is the wild imaginary west?

In this alternate history of the American West, large and aggressive monsters rule everything beyond the Mississippi River. With the help of a new technological device (known as a Forstall) and four-legged wagon mechs, brave explorers, prospectors, and homesteaders can now travel into the West and attempt to deter these fearsome creatures in search of freedom and the open sky.

You and your friends can now enter this unique world - made popular by Boylei Hobby Time on YouTube - and explore the dangers and riches the West has to offer. Players of the Wild Imaginary West Roleplaying Game collaborate to tell the tale of an epic adventure that’s more than just a campfire story. Create a character, walk them down the road of trials, watch them overcome insurmountable dangers, and tell the story of how they become a Legend. 

The game system used in the Wild Imaginary West RPG has been built from the ground up to match this rugged, lived-in world. Your characters will use Grit, kit-bashed weapon upgrades, and one-of-a-kind abilities to adventure through forests, plains, caves, and deserts. Beyond their personal missions, you might find them hunting monsters, finding missing persons, protecting a wagon train, solving mechanical puzzles, scavenging for parts, selling monster trophies, and balancing their reputation with the factions that struggle for power and ownership out West.

  • Great rules

    I got my set a couple of days ago and some extra packs of Dice for people at the table.
    Misfire is one of the great little extra rules that WIW has that make this game so great.
