Burned Bush Wells

In the middle of winter, the player characters ride into the small range town of Burned Bush Wells, Nebraska, with a load of furs to sell.

They soon find themselves embroiled in a dispute as the wealthy businessman Lyle Underway tries to take over the entire town by forcing smaller business owners out.

[2] In Issue 16 of Imagine, Doug Cowie liked the adventure, noting that it "continues the honourable tradition of Boot Hill modules.

Cowie concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Anyone running any kind of Western RPG should nip out immediately and buy a copy of BH4 Burned Bush Wells".
