Love Letter:

SILVER RUSH

​

In the early 19th century, the third son of a third son left England to make his fortune amongst the panhandlers on the Wild West frontier.  He struck silver, made his fortune, and raised a town as the first Mayor of Watling, Arizona. 

​

Sadly, after years of prosperity, the silver dried up.  And with it, Watling's prosperity faded, its population shrank, and the dust settled over our once thriving town.  But those loyal to Watling remain a close-knit community of townies and the ranchers who settled nearby. 

 

Now there are whispers of a new silver vein, which could bring prosperity and growth back to Watling.  But the promise of riches is a temptress not without peril - often the human price is dear.  And lately the Dry Gulch Gang has made its mark upon the town and nearby Silverwood Ranch.  

 

The Wild West is still largely untamed, and the sleepy town of Watling is no stranger to the hazards of frontier life.  But the Silver Steer Saloon, the heart of the town, is a light in the darkness, providing drinks and entertainment, in a town of friendly, familiar faces.  

 

Join us in Watling, where life carries on and hope is burgeoning.  Does another boom lie just beyond the dusty horizon?

Love Letter: SILVER RUSH is of course not about the Silver Rush, Cowboys, or prosperity.  Merely the setting, our game is about romance and relationships which form, change, and develop throughout the course of a year or so in this frontier town.  

​

Costuming is thematic to the Wild West.  All characters are members of this community, from ranchers to townsfolk.  There are small variances of fortune, but not enough to worry you in early stages of Costuming, and a generic look is absolutely fine.  After casting, you can add simple touches to distinguish you as the town preacher or a saloon girl, if you wish.  Because this game is getting a heavy edit and playtest in late September, we will do the casting in early October, leaving you at least a month to costume.

Love Letter: SILVER RUSH is a game which is similar in style to the "original" Love Letter game and Love Letter: The Crusade. It will be played in three episodes, and players will have a chance in-between these scenes to write letters from their character to other characters in the game. The game is still "plot-free" and all about relationships (romantic and friendships). That said, we've tried to make this new game as different as possible. There is an all-new setting/genre, with new characters and new dilemmas.  If you enjoyed previous Love Letter games, we think (we hope) you will enjoy our new edition which should feel different but perhaps familiar.
