Bucking Bronco
The Bucking Bronco Saloon is a wild place on New Texas where uninhibited bulls and cows play a rousing game of holo-chess, blackjack or more physical games while drinking. Tourists love the sophisticated bartender, who always has a piece of advice, and the picturesque Hellhound Sheriff in his hat and serapé.
Drinks are available either from James, the bartender or from his assistants, the three busty cows. Discounts are available for the courageous, strong and adventurous (virgins and those in a family way may find pursuing free drinks to be too adventurous).
Upstairs is a brothel, currently being refurbished by Miss Kittie.

Things to Do
Five-Finger Discount
Not everyone has the "experience" required to pass the bartenders public test, but if it involves drafty public exposure and the prospect of potentially a free drink, you might be game.
The Fucking Bronco
Virgins and the Pregnant are not allowed to ride the bronco. This is really more of a game when both physique and reflexes are between 25 and 35. as a low score in either will make your odds terrible in ways that the other statistic cannot help with. Technically, even first level players have a chance to win this (about 1 in 10,000 for someone with average starting stats).
The chances of winning free drinks with a physique of 25 and reflexes of 25 are small (about 1 in 4). The chances of winning free drinks with a physique of 31 and reflexes of 31 are about even. The chances of winning free drinks with a physique of 35 and reflexes of 35 are about 3 in 4. If you already aroused before riding the bronco, you will need to also have to have high libido or reasonable willpower to have a chance of holding on for the full duration.
Visit the Bordello
Kithran's Broodmare Bordello is not open at this time. We know about it mostly from Ciaran.
Try Your Hand On Stage
Presumably, one would have to negotiate with the Pianist to get on stage. Presumably, some level of exhibitionism would be involved. But the Thraggan isn't talking.
Food
As well as healing your wounds a little, eating too much could make you curvier. The steak very much more so.

Quests and Events
On crisp autumn nights, New Texans like to gather around the fire and tell stories to chill the very blood.
