Coyote Canyon


Welcome to the old Wild West, where life is hard and survival is an achievement.

Coyote Canyon is a lawless town in crisis. This once bustling town boomed in the gold rush years, but when the gold ran out so did the town's luck. Initially drawn to the town from a desire to make money, the traders who set up the town were not fussy where their money came from. As a result they did not care who settled in the area, so long as they had cash and plenty of it. Misdemeanours and lawlessness were overlooked as there was plenty of money to be made from the visitors who came seeking their fortune. Now the visitors have dried up and the bandits have turned on the town and the greedy townsfolk are slowly being picked off by the lawless bandits they allowed to settle.

Too greedy to pay for a sheriff, there is nobody to save them from the two evil gangs of bandits that are picking off the town traders one by one. The two gangs are sworn enemies who will stop at nothing to wipe each other out and don't care who is caught in the crossfire. As a result, everybody is suspicious of everybody else. Lynchings are common place, and nearly always misguided. The elder statesmen of the town have reluctantly decided that if there are any more killings they will employ a sheriff to root out the bandits and protect their wealth. Have they left it too late though?

To make matters worse, a serial killer roams the town each night. It is believed that the killer is descended from the Native Americans who occupied the land before Coyote Canyon was built. Most of the tribe were barbarically killed, but did some escape?

The townsfolk were ruthless in acquiring their wealth, and did not mind destroying the livelihoods of others if there was a fast buck to be made. One of the residents of the town is not who he seems. Returning to seek revenge for his lost business and livelihood, a cat burglar has resorted to crime in order to steal back the money he lost. He is extremely skilled and almost impossible to detect. If he is not stopped soon the town will be bankrupt and unable to pay for the protection it needs.

The townsfolk are made up of a group of traders, bank employees, a doc, and a soon to be formed sheriff's department. They must continue to earn money through trading while avoiding being killed off by the bandits or serial killer, or bankrupted by the cat burglar. The town wins once no enemies of the town remain.

The two groups of bandits are comprised of gang members and hired guns. The hired guns only remain loyal while they are being paid for their services. Each gang of bandits have to kill off all of the rival bandit gang, the serial killer, any rogue hired gun and must also outnumber the townsfolk to win.

The serial killer's aim is to survive until the end of the game, killing off all other players.

The cat burglar starts the game with the task of bankrupting the town and both gangs of bandits. This task may change during the game.

As well as paying for the services of the sheriff and deputy (townsfolk) and hired guns (bandits), each team must acquire money through trading or theft in order to buy bullets – otherwise they leave themselves defenceless.

One person is lynched each night (unless special powers are used), but, this being the Wild West, the chances are that several people will die each night. When robberies take place, or assassination attempts are made, then gunfights can arise. Expect gunfire to be returned!
