The Dark Tower by way of Dogs in the Vineyard. For now the game channel is #DarkTower on suptg.

- Strong History
13d6 Stat Dice; 3d6 4d8 3d10 Trait Dice; 1d4 3d6 2d8 Relationship Dice

- Complicated Community
15d6 Stat Dice; 6d6 2d8 Trait Dice; 4d4 2d6 2d8 2d10 Relationship Dice
Second Step: Stats
Divide your Stat Dice among the four stats: Acuity, Body, Heart, and Will.
Third Step: Traits
Traits are personal characteristics like a biting tongue, a lightning draw, or the double-edged sword of the Touch. Traits are not all "special powers" - weaknesses or character flaws can be just as important as skills or craft.
Divide your Trait Dice among whatever traits you care to define. i.e. "Horsemanship 2d4", "Telekinetic Breaker 2d10", "Can't see without my glasses 2d8", etc.
"I'm a Gunslinger" is a recommended trait for Gunslingers.
If you can't think of any Traits to start with, start with "I'm a good shot"; add one based on where and how your character learned how to shoot; then add one unrelated but opposed like "I'm a good cook" or "I'm well-read".
Remember that no one likes a stewing-mary.
Fourth Step: Relationships
These are people that you know from your past or present that have some impact on you. You can call on these dice by invoking a relationship in a way that is significant to the moment. Eddie Dean's brother Henry is a monumental figure in his life, and someone he invokes frequently - if not always willingly - in times of stress.
Divide some of your Relationship Dice among other PCs or whatever NPCs you care to define. Don't create very many, and leave most of the dice unassigned. This way, you can call up relationships from your past or form a bond with someone in the present.
Fifth Step: Belongings
Freely define whatever belongings you care to define for your character. A Gunslinger generally owns nothing but a pair of shooting irons, a horse, and the clothes on his back, though one who expects to be travelling will likely have a small pack of useful supplies. Other possessions may be defined as needed, with dice according to the following:
Normal: 1d6 Big: 1d8 High Quality: 2d6 Big & High Quality: 2d8 Shit: 1d4 Guns: +1d4
Sixth and Final Step: Accomplishment
Define something that you hoped your character accomplished during initiation as a Dog. This will be played out as the stakes of a conflict.
