[Wystan]

Any personal opinions out there on a good system, or even links to good free resources?

Thanks in Advance.

Sidewinder Recoiled is probably one of the best treatments of the old Western theme in d20 terms.

I believe that Mongoose has something called OGL Western.

I believe that Mongoose has something called OGL Western.

I've tried to find a review of this, and failed.

I'm not going to buy a Mongoose product without reading some reviews, as the polite word I use to describe the quality of their products is "variable".

Sidewinder Recoiled is probably one of the best treatments of the old Western theme in d20 terms.

Fixed that.

I have the OGL Wild West book as well - I like it, but only as a supplement to Sidewinder: Recoiled.

S:R is outstanding.

I have Sidewinder: Recoiled as well, and I strongly recommend it too. It has a ton of information, classes, prestige classes, and there are some pretty good addons you can buy as pdfs.

Just to throw one more out there, I also have D20ast, which has a pretty good section on western style campaigns. I like some of the prestige classes for it, and since it covers a couple of other eras and is only $20, it is a pretty good deal.

OGL West is good, but Sidewinder is just amazing.

You guys have invoked my curiosity on sidewinder. I will definately have to look into it.

I have always thought of giving a standard d&d game a western theme would be cool. No guns or TNT, just the overal theme. Dwarven prospectors, Elven Shamans, Human settlers trying to take advantage of all other races by building boom towns around dwarven mines when news of gold hit, or taking over the land the elves had already cultivated.

ya know

that would be Spellslinger from Fantasy Flight games, a 64 page Horizon title that's pretty fun in and of itself.

Deadlands, the Wierd West, is a western setting with an alternate world history and plenty of strange and wonderful things going on. I prefer the classic system to the D20 version, but that's just one mans opinion.
