The tagline for this poster originally was something like: "They needed 1000 lawmen. They got one. He was enough."  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> As to the OP, this is a pretty cool idea. I'd say make sure to capture some of the larger setting points for the old west: small towns in a wild frontier that nearly ran themselves; sherrifs being the local law (not hard since that is a medieval position anyway); the federal marshals; wealthy and powerful cattle barons (nobles); outlaws; aboriginal peoples fighting for their land and way of life (elves); saloons, gamblers and prostitues; crazy prospectors up in the hills (dwarves..."Thar's goooold in them thar hills!"). As far as mounts go I'd say have a few options maybe; giant flightless birds, celestial horses, nightmares, or those creatures from darksun that served as mounts and beasts of burden (mekillots, kanks, etc...). For the gunslingers/ guns I'd say the most important part of maintaining the theme is just having duels: you don't necessarily need a ranged weapon. Instead of gunslingers you could have swordsmen dueling in the street at high noon; arcane duels would be cool too (sorcerors would  make interesting "gunslingers"). But hand crossbows or handle-mounted wands would be cool too. Come to think of it, I think I have an old issue of Dungeon with an adventure set in a wild-west-themed fantasy setting. I'll see if I can figure out which issue....Cool idea!</blockquote>
