Ghosts of El Paso

[Picaroon Jack]

The game I developed and later co-wrote with Jason Cordova, the Between: Ghosts of El Paso is now available on DriveThruRPG. It's re-skin/campaign for the Between (a PbtA game that focuses on hunting monsters in Victorian London by Jason Cordova). Ghosts of El Paso about a group of ghost hunters—the Vigilance Committee of El Paso—in the township of El Paso, Texas in the late 19th century, after the War but before the First railroad came through. The Vigilance Committee is dealing with the effects of the Wounded Night, a seasonal phenomenon in El Paso that takes place in the fall every six years, during which time the veil between the Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead is thinned.

The hunters learn about various ghostly threats around El Paso and conduct investigations in order to neutralize them. Over time, they become aware of the plans of a criminal mastermind who is pulling the strings behind the scenes. The hunters will eventually be forced to confront this mastermind in order to save their community.

The Ghosts of El Paso is inspired by Western films and TV shows such as Deadwood, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Quick and the Dead, and Unforgiven. It also takes inspiration from Texas folklore and urban legends, as well as the music of Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins.
