Bantam West (2nd Edition) 2026

Howdy there, Deadly Stranger...

Bantam West (2nd Edition) is a competitive open-world roleplaying game for 2 to 4 players. Step into the boots of our Deadly Strangers, immortal outlaws, as you explore the Western town of Gallow Springs and the surrounding Wilderness, Wetlands, Mountains, and Plains. Live life however you please as you work, fight, build, trade, and burn to become the Most Notorious!

You’ll harvest resources to craft powerful goods, acquire deadly weapons and gear, level your character’s skills and endeavors, navigate the terrain’s hazards, build cabins and recruit a posse to assert your influence. Watch for events and encounters across the terrain that might bring riches–or ruin. In the end, only one Deadly Stranger can come out on top!

2nd Edition walks back into the saloon with a fresh shave, polished iron, and a brand new pair of boots. Since the release of 1st Edition in 2023, our team has scoured the internet to gather and analyze input from all players we could possibly find. Building on this foundation, Ike and the team refined the game into its most accessible, exciting, and replayable form yet!

Updates include:

Rewritten rulebook (with professional Co-Author) UI/UX Overhaul Combat System Overhaul To-Do List Overhaul Event System Overhaul 4 Additional Endeavors More Variation in the Characters 12 New “Classic” Cowboy Guns

…and much more!
