[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2043723, member: 3649"] A fantasy/horror Western game is definately on the far horizon for my group. I've been looking around but I do know I'd probably like to stick to d20 for now. I bought Sidewinder: Recoiled as a PDF, then bought the print version, then gave another copy of the print version as a Christmas gift. So... I'd probably use Sidewinder: Recoiled :) I did a one-night Buffy-Western game with it, and people seemed to like it. I didn't use a lot of the more complex d20 Modern rules, since we were not going to be playing it but for just a little while. I like the flavor in S:R. There are tons of little historical bits in with the rules. GURPS: Old West is a good buy as well. I picked that up when I was going to do an Urban Arcana game and needed some more old west info. More info, few rules, as is the case for almost all GURPS world books. I've never played Deadlands but I know some good friends who have played Classic Deadlands. They were very impressed with it and a number of other people seem to be as well. You might try eBay and look for an old copy of Boot Hill from TSR (in any of it's, what, two or three incarnations).
