"[Coyote Trail] is everything I was ever looking for in a Western RPG. You can run it historical¸ quasi-historical¸ or spaghetti Western and it will handle all three major aspects of Old Western movies and fiction. I'd even vote for it as best Indie game EVER. That is how good I think it is." --PaladinCA

The setting is very open¸ taking place anywhere you choose in the America West circa 1870. Travel the dusty trails from boomtowns to native villages. Rustle cattle¸ rob banks¸ and terrorize towns.
