All it takes is one bullet.

One bullet to make you or break you.

But, then again … All it takes is one well-placed bet. One flirtatious smile. One wanted poster torn down before any eyes lay upon it. You could have the life of your dreams.

Because this ain’t it, is it, partner? The long nights on packed clay, coyote crowin’ from not far enough away. You got your posse. You done like each other well enough, don’t ya? Enough to watch each other’s backs, during this part of it. The part where you aim your sights on your big break. The life of your dreams. Straight down the barrel …

In The Pyrite Bullet, you and your posse try to catch your big break: outrunning the law, outsmarting the sun, aiming your sights on the lives you know you deserve. 


The Pyrite Bullet is built on Horseshoe System, a no-prep, one-page, oneshot multiplayer game full of twists and turns, powered by evocative roll tables and an ever-ticking clock. Create strange characters with fears, hopes, and bonds, establish your party's goal, their boon, and whatever threat they're facing, and then let the PCs roll their way to shocking victory or a sudden defeat.

You'll need:

  • a GM and 2-5 players 
  • 2-4 hours from character creation to the bloody end 
  • two 6-sided dice for each player
  • a way to keep track of PCs
  • a way to keep track of the 5-segmented clocks
