The closest I got to Wild West Fantasy was a short-lived Red Steel game. One of the PCs was an Honorbound fighter from Cimarron County, complete with sword and wheellock pistol.

I would love to see a 3.5e version of Red Steel come about. It's one of the few old settings I fell in love with, but never got to play.

I dunno. Kinda hard to picture cowboys without their guns. Since cowboys owed their existence to the vaqueros (which somehow got bastardized into the English "Buckaroo"), where and when does the vaqueros come from? I thought they originate during the early firearms period in Central America.

How about Europe? Don't they develop ranching?

France had their gardians (sp?), who cared for the indigenous white wild horses.
