Bite the Bullet

This is the latest creation of Jason Hobbs and Brian Tacle, art by James Richards, and it is based on the "Into the Odd" rules system. 

"Every town is a candle against a vast dark. 
Every ride into the wilderness is a wager with death.

The world didn’t end with a bang. It just…dried up. Crops failed. Governments and towns crumbled. That left gun smoke, a sharp word, and faith. Now it’s generations later. People live in worn-out settlements, carry old-world iron, and cling to whatever beliefs that kept them breathing. Some say miracles still happen out here in the Wastes—but they’refueled by something deeper, more internal, than bullets.

You’ve got grit, ghosts, and something you believe in that’s worth dying for. That's enough."

You can get it here from DriveThruRPG as a PWYW.

There is also a fan-made app to generate characters for the game. You can also print your character sheet or download it in PDF, TXT or JSON format.

Amyntor Wicke

This character was created to play Anthony Huso's "Castle of the Silver Prince" run by Aron Clark.

A scoundrel steeped in dishonor, Amyntor, only 23, now walks the path of a fledgling paladin. A level 0 character, he is a man plagued by excess—gambling, drinking, and indulgence—yet beneath his facade lies a burning ambition to reclaim his family's lost honor. 

His audacious claim of being the chosen champion of Hale, the god of the Stand, sparked divine intervention turning bluff into reality. Now, he must reconcile this incredible power with his past of deception as he strives to rise from the ashes of his family's disgrace.

Old Henry

Old Henry is a character for the playtest of the Weird West game "Bite the Bullet" by Jason Hobbs.  

He is a skilled and experienced scout with a reputation of being one of the lasts of his kind. With his faith put in the Great Spirit, he tries to live by the code of the ancient Native People but is haunted in his dreams after taking the help of that who he shouldn't have.

Edrenor

This character is for  Allan T. Grohe's "grodog's Greyhawk" game (AD&D 1e).

Edrenor of Jarl (Diocese of Devarnish) is a young cleric whose severe appearance belies a formidable physical and spiritual strength. Hailing from the landed gentry of Veluna, his Oeridian heritage is clear in his tan skin, dark, perceptive eyes, and reddish-brown hair, which he keeps in a stark bowl cut above a neatly trimmed chinstrap beard. As a third son, the path of the clergy was a natural fit, and he serves Boccob, the god of magic and knowledge, with a quiet dedication. 

Though he has the look of a scholar, Edrenor is strong and exceptionally hardy, able to withstand punishment that would fell a lesser man. His true power, however, lies in his profound wisdom, which grants him deep insight and a powerful command of divine magic. While not particularly charming or agile, he is a grounded and pragmatic individual, valuing balance and order above all else.
