Sidewinder Recoiled + OGL Steampunk = Wild Wild West?

[Angel Tarragon]

Anybody ever watch the movie Wild Wild West? If so, might it be possible to brew up a game like it using Sidewinder and snippets from OGL Steampunk?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Huh. Either no one has seen Wild Wild West or no responses incate that this is an okay idea. Though the question remains: has anyone ever ran a steampunkish wild west game?

The Robert Conrad version or the Will Smith version?

The Robert Conrad version or the Will Smith version?

Which, naturally, is just another way of saying:

The cool original version, or the worse-than-ass big-budget monstrosity?



In answer to your question, Frukathka, yes, you probably could do it (although I'd use SIDEWINDER: RECOILED myself).

Isn't that the truth! I think I've tried to watch that movie 3 or 4 times but can't get through the first hour.

 

[Ranger REG]

Isn't the original Wild Wild West TV series on DVD collection?

Actually, I am referring to the [newer] movie, which is a bit steampunkish. I fully enjoy it and would like to recreate as a tangent for my Sliders/Tangents game.

While I don't think the movie was brilliant, I also didn't find it to be as bad as many others. Of course, I wasn't really expecting the movie to be anything like the television series. Finally, I must confess that I have a hard time not liking any movie with Salma Hayek.

As to Frukathka's original question, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. However, I have no familiarity with OGL Steampunk. But, there shouldn't be any compatibility issues if all you are doing is raiding the OGL Steampunk for technology.

First let me start off by saying two things:

1) I am a Will Smith fanatic. It doesn't matter to me what movies he is in. If I deem it worthy for viewing (by seeing the previews) then I'll watch it. The only movie he has been in that I have not ssen is Ali.

2) I have never seen the Wild Wild West TV show. If I ever get the opportuninty to watch it, I will.

Okay, now that I have that out of my system I would like to say thank you to Brad Hindman. Your reply is refreshing. Thank You!

Deadlands already incorporates a lot of Steampunk elements already. And there's a D20 version availible. (I got mine used for half price)

That being said, OGL Steampunk looks pretty sweet. My copy is supposed to arrive tomorrow!

Good luck, partner!
