Gave the bases a light drybrush of Skeleton Bone, added some clump foliage then gave the cacti a matte varnish. Gave the bases a light drybrush of Skeleton Bone, added some clump foliage then gave the cacti a matte varnish.

One of the big issues with gold boom towns was getting their gold to the bigger markets. Enter Wells Fargo. A true logistics company, they provided regular and insured deliveries via multiple means but stagecoaches are their iconic brand. These coaches carried both mail and passengers.

There’s lots of potential scenario ideas here but for now, our stagecoach has stopped off at the post office to deliver the mail, the horses are unhitched, maybe being watered over at the horse trough? And isn’t it interesting that the flyers posted on the side of the dentist’s office face the location where the stagecoach passengers disembark? And the ads featured products that someone on a long and dusty ride might crave at that exact moment?

And isn’t there a saloon right across the street?

Don’t you just love urban planning?

Entertainment! The thing everybody needs during the times of boredom. I can attest to the relevance during a recent rpg session as I’ve worked up a medicine show act. Maybe you could get a second wagon and then build it up as a stageshow a la ‘Pete’s Dragon’ or ‘The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’
