Boot Hill is a western-themed role-playing game designed by Brian Blume, Gary Gygax, and Don Kaye (although Kaye unexpectedly died before the game was published), and first published in 1975. Boot Hill was TSR's third role-playing game, appearing not long after Dungeons & Dragons and Empire of the Petal Throne, and taking its name from "Boot Hill", the popular Wild West term for "cemetery". Boot Hill was marketed to take advantage of America's love of the western genre. The game did feature some new game mechanics, such as the use of percentile dice, but its focus on gunfighting rather than role-playing, as well as the lethal nature of its combat system, limited its appeal. Boot Hill was issued in three editions over 15 years, but it never reached the same level of popularity as D&D and ot

  • Boot Hill è un gioco di ruolo western progettato da Brian Blume e Gary Gygax, pubblicato dalla TSR nel 1975.. Il nome, letteralmente "collina degli stivali" è un riferimento al nome con cui venivano chiamati i cimiteri di molte cittadine del west, in un ironico riferimento ai pistoleri che vi venivano seppelliti con ancora gli stivali addosso. Inizialmente il regolamento avrebbe dovuto essere scritto da Donald Kaye, ma in seguito alla sua scomparsa venne scritto da Brian Blume e Gary Gygax in sua ricordo. (it)
