D&D takes actually kind of a wacky approach, as they go. Which is how they avoid such things. Cyberpunk games tend to have it so either you're covered in armour (or similar), or subdermal armour, or are a cyborg or w/e, or you DO have the potential to just die if someone shoots you (or not - Cyberpunk 2020's FNFF system was surprisingly good at this if a bit crunchy to work with).I'd be interested to hear how it goes if you do. I thought d20 Modern was going to go okay but it just felt too damn silly after a while. And yeah figuring out sane politics for a Weird West game (even a fantasy Wild West) that don't make the PCs on some level "the baddies" is, uh, not easy. So good luck! I've tried! Even if you somehow create a scenario that doesn't involve a Native American equivalent (i.e. unoccupied frontier) it can get really fiddly.</blockquote>
