The Sixth Gun Roleplaying Game, the very first RPG I wrote for Pinnacle Entertainment Group, was originally released in late 2015 after a successful Kickstarter campaign a few months earlier.
In 2018, after crowdfunding the Savage World of FlashGordon, my second RPG for PEG, I was contacted by Oni Press, publishers of the Sixth Gun comic, about contributing some new game material to an upcoming deluxe reprint collection of said comics.
As I had loads of notes and undeveloped ideas for the setting still lurking on my hard drive, it was easy to dip into them and find something suitable for this volume and I hoped that by saying yes to the idea, it might help bump sales of the RPG from comic fans who weren't already aware of the game.
The resulting adventure was Mimihqueh: Temple of the Dead, a sequel of sorts to the featured location's first appearance in issue #42 of the comic where the heroes (Drake, Becky, and Nidawi) hid from the Knights of Solomon and the King of Secrets in an ancient temple occupied by unliving Aztec priests.
I pored over each panel of that particular issue to pull exact details from the illustrations, reproducing an accurate map of the mysterious pyramid down to the names of each represented god in the forms of towering statues.
I came up with a unique treasure (the Heart of Tlahuillo), statted up a few choice enemies, and penned a short adventure suitable for a single session of play (perfect for a convention game or a one-shot with friends).
Accompanying the adventure was a selection of relevant rules pulled from the core book, a posse of six pre-generated characters originally created for the Sixth Gun Companion, and a short comic from Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt that introduced all those characters to the world of the Sixth Gun.
The resulting section devoted to the RPG runs 26 pages in that oversize collectible volume and if you're a fan of the setting and you can get your hands on a copy (it is still listed on Amazon and I occasionally see them on eBay for reasonable prices), it is very much worth it!
I intend to reach out to a few people to see if I can at least share the adventure with you all at some point down the line.
Watch this space, amigos!
