The QuickDraw system is a playing-card based TTRPG system where players build a pool of chips that they allocate between degrees of success and modifying their poker hands. I wanted to create a system where players had more strategy to their checks than simply "Roll dice and add number." Players will have to decide how to allocate their resources as they try and build a poker hand that matches or beats a specific difficulty, or the hand of the Dealer (GM). Other features include: A collaborative travel-montage system, monsters who can level up and an experience point system that encourages players to play outside their character's wheelhouses.

The initial setting is a weird-west fantasy set in a 1800s America recovering after fighting a war against an army of dark spirits, eldritch nightmares and ghosts. The western frontier was ravaged and eradicated, and a New West needs establishing. As a new westward expansion begins, players take the role of government agents tasked with overseeing resettlement efforts, dealing with occult mysteries and hunting down dangerous cryptids. 

This is my first initial release, and still very much in development, hence V 0.01. This should hopefully be enough to give you an idea of what I'm thinking about and the places where more work needs doing are pretty obvious. Here's what I'm working on for V0.02: 

Write out the initial adventure for play testing.

Start writing out setting lore and history for The New West.

Write more monster stat blocks.
