Cowpokes & Spyfolks
In this one-page RPG, players take on a character working as an intelligence analyst during the Cold War era of 1950s New Mexico. The game is inspired by Tom Lehrer's song "The Wild West Is Where I Want to Be," with some additional information from Kyle Hill's series about nuclear experiments in Las Vegas and around Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) facilities, such as radiation leaks at a nearby testing site called the Nevada Test Site (NTS). The game features new mechanics for criticality that allow players' success or failure on certain tasks. Created with graphic design by Katamoiran Games and layout assistance from another designer named "Go throw money at them," this hack allows anyone to create their own story, characters, themes, ideas based upon the song lyrics of Tom Lehrer's classic tune in Las Vegas casinos around 1950s New Mexico desert sites such as Las Vegas Strip Hotel.
