All excellent ideas. I was planning to make it gray situation, rather than black and white with something closer to your suggestions...

Well I published the Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), for several reasons - to honor heritage (I'm half Japanese), I love Japanese horror and felt that some OA based Japanese folklore is somewhat captured in past Japan analog settings - Japanese horror as it's own genre hadn't...

Interesting. I was doing more reading on the Ghost Dance, and it seems the spirits of those who die return to speak again to their living relatives, but aren't there in physicial form. The circle dance lasts 5 days, bringing the dancers to ecstasy, at the culmination of the ceremony, they begin...

Another thought, due to the diversity of many Native tribes, each with their own unique religious beliefs, it's difficult to use a single belief system, while staying true to each tribe's invidual culture. That said, there was for a short time, a shared, singular religious belief that spread...

It's funny, I just posted a thread about Gothic Western on a Pathfinder RPG Facebook community, and just about every person commenting asked if the PF1 version is being released or had been released? Everyone seems to still prefer to play PF1 over PF2. So now, I'm considering finishing my PF1...

It's settled the header graphic and logo for Gothic Western is created. I got inspired by the Mexican Festival of the Dead, where they use those painted wooden and ceramic skeletons as decorations everywhere. I created a 3D bull skull and horns, but covered the skull in Portuguese floor tile...

So I created a different thread for it, looking for contributions in the form of suggestions, that I'd be willing to credit on the credits page by name, if you picked some I use. There's a mechanic I want to give each PC/NPC born in Gothic Western, based on something by Orson Scott Card from his...

For my Gothic Western, Weird West setting I'm developing a mechanic I need ideas for... I also want use in idea from Orson Scott Card's Alvin the Maker series, called knacks. Everyone is born with a Knack, these are minor abilities up to as powerful as a cantrip. Knacks often help determine...

I'm going for #1 the Gawdy Grunge Old West font.

Early on I was working on a setting logo, haven't settled for anything yet, but this is what I've got so far. One note though, the font for the title is a very gawdy Western style font, very much hated by most designers, but somehow I think it fits this setting... thoughts? But I like the next...

No, I fully agree - finding interesting ways to deliver content is always a good thing! And of course, I'm willing to do all that typing for a fake newspaper, since I'm a creator/publisher, since I earn profit for it. But then I was a graphic artist before college, a graphic designer afterward...

If I didn't already state it, 19th century social norms and prejudices are non-existent. This isn't the real Old West, but a fantasy weird west setting. The goal is to create world that closely emulates the 19th century, at least according to technology, major historical events and personages as...

The more I think about the fake newspaper as both a GM's module tool and a Player's hand-out, this thing is golden. Trying to get players to remember tiny details about their current adventure, and finding those answers in news stories. Getting informed of the rest of the world in current...

Without knowing "The Secret World", your concept makes me think of the movie Ninth Gate, where (if memory serves) there were six books printed and each featured six art plates with unique illustrations that when separated from the books combined with the other five correct plates could be used...

Nothing wrong with that. I'd say it's most common is to either create an analog Earth with big changes like the US and Mexico didn't go war, and earthquake ripped southern California and dropped it into the sea, or completely ficticious place barely resembling America, but featuring wilderness...
