Bone Riders has a quirky setting and fun procedures that have you racing across the map trying to find lore and earn money before the Trouble strikes. It's really easy to pick up and play, the rules are fun (and funny), and also based on real! life! science! (you have 206 bones). 

I'm playing it solo and my little skeleton cowboy recently arrived back in town with just 6 bones left demanding whisky, after helping a conductor find his lost hat, frightening a herd of ghostly wildebeests so JJ McFish could get back to their fishing, and working a shift in the silver mines for money and gossip about the Bounty Hunter stalking the Bone Wastes. 

Eco Mofos has been so inspiring for me, and Islands of Weirdhope looks to take it to the next level! I'm already daydreaming about the solo campaigns I'll be playing in this world. Can't wait! 

Hi there, I recently ran the adventure in the book  for 1 player and we really enjoyed it. Love the Dark Tower series and spaghetti westerns and this nails the vibe perfectly and the artwork is so good. I also really like HRT as opposed to WILL compared to Into the Odd and Cairn, and the Duel rules which are great fun and very tense! Currently planning a co-op sandbox playthrough using the solo rules alongside Mythic GME 2e and some custom Ironsworn type oracles.

I have a couple of questions:

1) On the example character / character sheet it says the character has 9 inventory slots filled, but if I'm reading the rules correctly she should actually have 7 as the bandolier weighs nothing and also removes lead weight?

2) It says fatigue can be gained due to monster abilities but looking through the beastiary I can't see any creatures which add fatigue as a mechanic?

3) Do you expect players to start with Special Attacks? Or is this something you expect players to earn in the fiction? 

4) Also the bookmarks don't seem to be set up correctly in the PDF? I'm using rulebook v1.3 I think. It would be great if these could be corrected in the PDF. 

Thanks! :)
