Last Hope Frontier
Overarching story gist
The setting for the game would be the town of Last Hope in 1857, a town that was built at the end of the Californian Gold Rush (1853) near the Californian/Nevadan border, near the flow of the North Fork of the American River.
The town was established as a place for a wave of settlers and miners to stake their claim on a seam of gold and make a life for themselves, but bust soon followed boom, and in only a few years, the gold seam had run dry.
Now, in 1857, in a cloud of ruin and uncertainty, the town of Last Hope looks to the future and its citizens and those with more nefarious intent, can look to steer the fate of the town.
Folks can still stake claim on the river bank and find gold through panning, but with the gold all but dug up, time spent doing so and the potential profits are disproportionate. The real money is to be made in honourable commerce, bootlegging, bounty hunting or as a gun for hire.
