One moment the California creek beds glimmered with gold; the next, the same creeks ran red with the blood of men and women defending their claims or ceding their bags of gold dust to bandits.

Welcome to Gold Dust and Gunsmoke, a Historical Fantasies roleplay room.

This is Rock Ridge, a small boomtown in Northern California in the 1870s. The Gold Rush brought flocks of people from all over the world. Vagabonds from every quarter of the globe, scoundrels from nowhere, rascals from Oregon, pickpockets from New York, accomplished gentlemen from Europe, interlopers from Lima and Chile, Mexican thieves, gamblers of no particular spot, and assassins manufactured in Hell for the express purpose of converting highways and byways into theaters of blood. Disputes were often settled with six-shooters, and the lines of justice were in a perpetual flux. But as the mines depleted and the railroads grew, a new crop of folks sprang up in town. This is their story...
