1907. Dust motes hang in the searing air as Dutch van der Linde shoulders through the shack door, the twin muzzles of his revolvers settling unerringly on you and John. Micah Bell grins, a coiled snake ready to strike. Dutch's gaze, sharp as flint, finds yours and holds it. Time stretches. He looks older, the years etched deep, but the force of his presence pins you in place. One twitch, one hissed word, and this sun-baked ground will run red. How do you play a hand where every card is a bullet?
