      Out on the pampas in Argentina would be a cool setting. Gauchos tend to have similar stories to American cowboys and Mexican vaqueros, but also would probably not grab that Americana vibe that most folks are going for with a Western.

        Star Crossed did it briefly but well as a shifter based wild west thing.

        Personally, I’d say Texas, along the Rio Grande.

        We're all mad here.

          I live in Colorado, which makes that kinda easier.

          Yeah – very different setting. Really, there might be Mining Town westerns vs. Cow Town westerns, or towns with both. Alas, there’s not a lot of places to graze cattle near Leadville, which has a fun history. (Somebody said, “Hey, you know that black stuff in the tailings of your lead mines? That’s silver.”)

            But not historically accurate cowboys.

                Something inspired by the Temeraire series.

                Funny thing is, is that I’ve read that the Author admits to have been a regular on PernMUSH back in the 90’s. So would probably be quite OK with a MUSH being made.

                  @KarmaBum I agree totally and would love to see that.

                  Have you watched that guy’s youtube mini-building channel? I thought "I want that as RPG setting’ before he announced its release as a game.

                    @Gashlycrumb Yep. We started watching circa lockdown, and I kept thinking… this would make a great RPG setting. So we backed the kickstarter.

                    The guide is mostly mechanics that seems fun for a TTRPG, but also has some good setting information about various factions, and tons of monster info.

                    I would play in this world, sort of tongue-in-cheek but with real peril out there! I just don’t have it in me to set up another game right now.

                    It’s someone else’s turn.

                        @KarmaBum If you like FS3, I do happen to have the stats I put together from The Network’s Western series that y’all could use as a starting point.

                          Since we are talking Weird West, how about Weird West but D&D fantasy? This is a really good OSR adventure: Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier

                          Here’s a YouTube review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUkPt9VcsWw&pp=0gcJCRsBo7VqN5tD

                          And here’s the creator’s blog posts on the expanded universe: https://alldeadgenerations.blogspot.com/search/label/Crystal Frontier

                            Taking this time to plug my favorite podcast which has an episode on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0GCCgNIKbo

                            There’s also another recent Weird West setting out there put out by Monte Cook and using the Cypher System, which is Gunslinger Knights. It’s very much “what if The Dark Tower but RPG” but that in itself is a weird west setting.
