With my paltry 2s, I'll buy some cigs and some matches (stashed in my belt for quick-draw smoking).
All right, so you have:

Pockets:
Folded list of 55 wanted outlaws (I rolled the d100 for you)
Cigarettes (putting these in your pockets for realism)
Matches (putting these in your pockets for realism)

Belt:
A canteen with a day's worth of water
Revolver (d6*) + spare ammo
Handcuffs & key

Horse's saddlebags:
Tin of biscuits
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

How many shots of my double barrelled shotgun does "an item slots worth of ammunition" get me?

I can't get much with my 7 coins either.
I'll get the rope and matches for 4s please.

Matches in pocket
Rope on belt

Lol I was hoping to buy a melee weapon of some kind as I have a negative modifier on my ranged ability, but doesn't seem to be anything like that for sale.

Are my 23 sugar pills worth anything to sell? I couldn't see them on the list...

So, firing guns and reloading is a bit abstract in FS.

You only run out of ammo when you roll a 1 when rolling for damage, so that means you can keep firing until you roll a 1, then if you do, you load another "slot" until you next roll a 1.

They'd probably be worth 1 silver.

A knife isn't listed, but would cost you 5.

Got you. How is that impacted by me having a double barrelled shotgun? Do I need to load another slot if I roll a 1 on either of the d6?

Correct! So, a DB shotgun has great damage output at the risk of a higher chance of running out of ammo more quickly!

Hm... what I think I will do is sell my sugar pills, bringing me up to 8s, I'll then sell my pocket pistol for 10s and buy a revolver for 15s, leaving me 3s.

And with that, I shall buy a dog and call him Jinx.

Right everyone, here's a document with everyone's character info:

Hopefully everything is up to date and accurate!

I'll start the actual adventure in another thread.

P.S.

I just rolled a background event which caused you all to gain an additional 15 silver each.

Please feel free to buy/sell more stuff with this if you like!

Ok, with that 15s, I'll buy a 2-man tent, bedroll, blanket, bar of soap and a pack of smokes.
