The Frontier Awaits

Cowpoke brings classic Hollywood Western movie action directly to your tabletop. Designed for fast, straightforward play, the system captures the cinematic flair of cinematic shootouts—where daring moves, split-second shooting, and environmental mayhem take center stage.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

  • Handful of Dice Combat: Rolling to hit is simple and intuitive. Your character’s skills, weapon, and tactical position grant a handful of dice—the more dice you roll, the easier it is to land hits on target.
  • Hollywood Cinematic Drama: Action plays out like a classic Western film. Characters can dive through glass windows, kick over poker tables for makeshift cover, leap from balconies, and fan the hammer in desperate close-range duels.
  • Interactive Wild West Chaos: Saloon chandeliers, dynamite crates, runaway stagecoaches, and spooked horses can all be weaponized or triggered during the heat of a firefight.

  1. The Bank of Blackwood: Classic bank heist standoff between a raiding outlaw gang and the local sheriff’s posse (Included in Core Rules).
