Wild Imaginary West RPG Official Guidebook

I bought the complete box set and the guidebook was by far my favorite part of the box. It's quality is unbeatable and the artwork is amazing. Love all the warden tips and how clear everything is and how they give examples of how things work in game rather than just giving the rule and moving on.

Pretty sure it wat the content of the WIW that had my players begging to play again - they were very anti wild west things to start with then I pitched this as a western fantasy where you could be anythig from the wild wild west movie, to a mad scientest like frankenstien, when I finally got my players (One a 25 year all editions dnd veteran, another experienced player and two new players - one who wanders off two rounds into dnd combat all engaged with the system) they picked up the game in about 20 minutes of play and ran with it so started playing they only interacted with some a sabertooth mountian lion, but so throulghroughly enjoyed it the session lasted four hours and they begged to play again the next day..

A good read through. You may need to reread it a couple of times, as you will need to cross reference with other pages, but it’s well paced and well categorized.

Here's a list of questions I had before I played it, and my answers:
1) Is it fun? Heck ya. The interaction between the factions is very neat to play with, and the monsters are, literally, wild.
2) Is there a good community of Wardens (GMs)? Yes! There's a great and growing community of people sharing and talking about their games and how they run them.
3) Is it good for new players? Ya!
4) How's the combat system? It's very very cool: It's super cinematic, so instead of a pattern of move-attack-action, each character gets, like, a movie scene, where they have tremendous flexibility
5) Does it feel like Boylei? Very... there's a great section on terrain, and it's inspired me to do more terrain and diorama building than ever.

I have read the whole book and am working my way through a 2nd time just reenforcing the mechanics. The organization, art, and detailed writing that have gone into this book make it a joy to read and easy to be engrossed in the world that's built around you. The dice mechanic in the game is innovative without being tortuously too complex to digest. This is a great looking game and Im excited about running my first game.
