[QUOTE="haakon1, post: 3285389, member: 25619"] Beat me to it on five of these! I say, well done, old chap. That of course means you also need detectives . . . I used to run a Boot Hill campaign that pulled in: - Thugee worshippers of Kali (read the world's first mystery novel, the Moonstone; or see the 1930s movie Gunga Din; or see the 1980s movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) - Shao Lin temple kung fu wanderers - a detective (for the Cities of New York and Brooklyn Department of Police) - a detective (for the North West Mounted Police, predecessor to the RCMP) - two (!) frontier woman posing as men - a ghost of a conquistador - native Americans - Mexican bandits - Mexican revoluntionaries (Viva Zapata! Viva Zorro!) - a Confederate cavalry officer who never quite surrendered (see the 1950s John Wayne movie "The Searchers" and the 1970s Clint Eastwood follow up "Outlaw Josie Wales") - a preacher man with a fast trigger finger (see the 1980s Clint Eastwood movie "Pale Rider") Who needs sci fi 19th century when the plain regular fictional one has SO much going on!
