It’s a great week for the Gunslinger class. It’s one of my all-time favorite things we’ve ever written and it’s getting a massive expansion, the Complete Gunslinger, on our Patreon!
You know who’s also been having a killer time with this class? Nick Williams from the Hero Club podcast, whose character, The Gentleman, is a phenomenal thing to listen to. He’s basically everything I love about a gunslinging character: he’s brash, charismatic, occasionally hilarious, and lethal.
If you like gunslinging action, or just a romp though a western story, Go check out Hero Club’s new season, Adversary!

Jeremiah “The Gentleman” Finch
A bounty of $20,000 accompanies most every depiction of “The Gentleman”, Jeremiah Finch, a notorious gunslinger that has lived long enough to see his record of crimes surpass most every outlaw in the land. Despite is age, Jeremiah’s surgical accuracy with his weapons, a set of firearms which he calls “The Girls”, has not dulled in the slightest. Jeremiah is as infamous for his felonies and duels as he is for his personality: his cordial demeanor and verbosity are tempered only by his profanity and his readiness to kill.
