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...
