Selected entrries the diary of the infamous Gunslinger Garth, Dodge City 1875.
October 2, 1875
I arrived in Dodge on the train today. Seems like a nice place. Dodge central gathering point ofseveral adjoining counties. It’s a nice litte rolepay community. Across from the train station is a fine drinking and dancing establishment where I was greeted by friendly folks.
The town itself is not the most beautiful of places, but there are plenty of hopping venues where you can find appropriate attire. When visiting any roleplay area it’s only polite to look and act the part. You know the saying, When in Dodge, do as the Dodgians… Dodgites… Dodgeys… do as the locals do.

Flying isn’t allowed, but if you walk long enough you’ll find yourself in Indian territory. That’s another role you can play. I have no idea if they’re friendly Indians. I didn’t stick around long enough to find out.

My captors were wily. I tried repeatedly to count how many of them there were in order to plan my escape, but I kept falling asleep for some reason.

Tensions rose as I faced down my nemesis. You could smell the fear in the air. I think it was fear. It was very powerful, whatever it was.

Update: Okay, who will be the first one to figure out where I got the title for this post?
Wonderful!
Daaayyyaaammm… and I’m a Wyatt Earp fan (my hero since I was …er.. younger.)
I didn’t even realize Dodge City was in-worl. Hrrrmmm
Need to see if Tombstone and Huachuka and Bisbee are around.
Thanks for the tours you provide that so many of us just don’t ahve the time to do. it’s not a question of inclination as it is ‘other obligations’.
