The Old West combat and role-playing game Boot Hill was one of TSR's first products, published in 1975, only a year after Dungeons & Dragons . No other supporting material was published until 1981, when TSR released Mad Mesa, the game's first adventure. Several more adventures followed, including Burned Bush Wells, the fourth Boot Hill adventure, a 32-page book with a tri-fold cover published in 1984 that was written by Jeff Grubb with contributions by Allen Hammack and Brian Blume, and interior and cover art by Larry Elmore. [2]
In Issue 16 of Imagine , Doug Cowie liked the adventure, noting that it "continues the honourable tradition of Boot Hill modules. They don't get the recognition they deserve because the game is not that popular. Strange really, considering the fact that Western games are the apogee of the role-playing hobby." 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". [1]

Boot Hill is a western-themed role-playing game designed by Brian Blume, Gary Gygax, and Don Kaye, and first published in 1975. Boot Hill was TSR's third role-playing game, appearing not long after Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and Empire of the Petal Throne, and taking its name from "Boot Hill", the popular Wild West term for "cemetery". Boot Hill was marketed to take advantage of America's love of the western genre. The game did feature some new game mechanics, such as the use of percentile dice, but its focus on gunfighting rather than role-playing, as well as the lethal nature of its combat system, limited its appeal. Boot Hill was issued in three editions over 15 years, but it never reached the same level of popularity as D&D and other fantasy-themed role-playing games.
