Homestead: Guide to Frontier Life

A sourcebook for roleplaying campaigns inspired by classic television westerns, focusing on families, farms, cattle ranches, and the everyday struggle to survive on the frontier.

The book presents the genre’s central themes, campaign-building advice, a history of the Old West, regional and trail overviews, plot hooks, random encounters, d20 rule adjustments, new skills, feats, and drawbacks. It also includes a sample setting with non-player characters and adventure setups.
