Red Dead Redemption 2 IRL
Join either the:
Dutch van der Linde Gang
Ruthless thieving cut throats! Wanted throughout the territory.
Or the:
Pinkerton Agency
Powerful old west mercenary force. The “pinks” were the template for the secret service. And guarded trains and banks (and honest Abe) in the old west.
Story line
Dutch and the gang have discovered that a shipment of gold bars protected by Pinkerton agents comes into Valentine Saving Bank every Friday from the Comstock mine. Dutch plans to either hit the train on the way into Valentine or the vault at the bank. Their only problem? They need dynamite to accomplish this robbery either on the tracks or at the vault. Without dynamite they are dead in the water. They are gonna have to find some quick!
Meanwhile the Pinkerton agency has captured a outlaw that in exchange fer avoiding the noose, claims to know the where abouts of the gangs hidden camp. While Dutch looks fer the best ambush spot along the Great Northern rail line. The Pinks are looking fer the exact location of the camp. It’s a race against time fer both parties!
Train
We will have a train that will move passengers around on the field at select times. (Kubota tractor and hay trailer)
Buddy heal
Each player will receive a bandage. If hit a buddy can apply the bandage to get the player back into the fight. If the player is hit again. The player will need the team doc (1 per team) to give him a swig of Dr. Yao’s opioid elixir. At that time the bandage can be removed. If the player is alone they can wait 5 minutes and go back to their respective camp to respawn.
Foam weapons
Foam melee weapons are in play. A strike to a leg or arm incapacitates it. A strike to the body or the head is a kill. A bandage applied to a arm or leg heals it. A swig of Dr. Yao’s opioid elixir heals head or body hits. Please don’t wrestle with people.
Attire
We are not going to be super strict on this. With that said blue jeans and flannel shirts are more modern Cowboy attire. Goodwill is a great source. eBay is as well. Gun leather can be found at pawn shops or gun shops that sell used stuff. Keep in mind the Legends smoke wagon uses .38 cal shells. Belt loops that are .44/.45 caliber are too big. I posted up a YouTube video of a old west clothing guide by the Arizona Ghost Riders. Santee is a great source for cowboy reenacting. Also I highly suggest wearing good boots WITH tread. While not period correct, your safety is more important.
Guns
Cowboy guns shoot hot. (Over 400 FPS) Including pistols. This is just a simple fact of life and we cannot change a spring like an AEG. So when we chrono we will assign your gun a MED. It’s highly suggested you bring a foam melee weapon for engagements inside your MED.
Gun restrictions
Bolt action (Made to appear late 1800s)
Lever actions
Revolvers
Camping
Camping is available. Modern tents and cots and sleeping bags are welcome.
Food

Bathrooms
