Looking for a setting...

[Vorput]

Hello fellow ENworlders, I have a question...

I'm looking for a setting... something with enough flavor that I can read through it, and still enjoy it, even if it will be awhile before I actually play it (don't think my group would go for it alas...)

I'm looking for... well I guess a western- sort of the basic quick-drawing old west type of thing, but not divorced from fantasy either... Like, It would be cool if there was still magic (in some form), and monsters (even if not predominant), and a fantasy like feel.

If any of you have ever read Stephen King's the Dark Tower series, I'm essentially looking for SOMETHING like that, the kind of setting Roland from the book would have came from, and to some extent what he traveled through.

Or maybe something like what Firefly (the series) was like, only minus the whole space travel planet aspect... Something that's as much focused on wits and planning as on guns, maybe?

D20 would be nice, but not neccesary.

I'm rambling now, and I don't know if there's a system that incorporates any of what I asked for, much less all of it.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Vorp.

Deadlands, perhaps?

Huh... That does look cool, I found a wiki on the setting... Perhaps that is what I'm looking for...

Anyone have a link to where I could pick up the rulebook(s) for a decent price? Would a local gaming store carry something like this, or is it more obscure?

Any other comments/thoughts on a setting are still very appreciated though.

Fantasy Flight Games did a one-shot book called Spellslinger that will likely give you everything you need. I'd probably combine it with Deadlands: Reloaded even though the latter is for Savage Worlds system.

Boot Hill by TSR

You could always get Sidewinder: Recoiled and add some fantasy elements to it. Darn good game.

You might want to check out the Iron Kingdoms - its not exactly western, but it does have gunslinging galore. It's more steampunk-ish fantasy, and the flavor and art is top-notch. And since the two core books weigh in at around 700 pages, you'll have plenty to read...

Iron Kingdoms is good, (I added a lot more steam tech, and loosely based it on victorian earth, I miss my Quad pistols )

I'd probably go with Deadlands Reloaded .
