==Summary==
The Hunt for Kid Richter is an introductory scenario, making use of the rules for running cinematic Wild West Call of Cthulhu adventures presented in [[The Good, the Bad and the Utterly Insane]].

The characters, possibly from widely disparate backgrounds, share a common desire to hunt down Frank "Kid" Richter, a nasty outlaw and drunk who has been terrorizing several states in the South-West.

The tone of the scenario particularly evokes the Spaghetti Western sub-genre.

===Synopsis===
This short scenario is really just a few encounters aimed at getting a disparate group of characters together in pursuit of a common goal, the eponymous "Kid" Richter. It contains no Mythos elements, instead leading the characters into a shoot-out with the bad guys which, if they survive, yields them part of a treasure map. The map leads to something called the Golden Scorpion, a pagan idol with which it's promised there's considerable supernatural phenomena associated. It's suggested that the far longer scenario to find the Golden Scorpion will be presented in a later issue of the magazine or as a special separate issue.
