[QUOTE="Ezrael, post: 1054373, member: 6262"] Brisco County Jr. was one of the most fun TV shows ever, a fitting successor to the original Wild Wild West. Damn, was that a good show. I *still* remember it fondly, a decade later. (How long *has* it been?) Another good example of the Victorian/Wild West crossover is the excellent Space 1888 RPG, which provided for both. It'd serve anyone well as a sourcebook. It also has neat strangeness on Mars and Venus and in the asteroids, to boot. Also, in addition to his naturalistic fiction, Jack London wrote some excellent science fiction/fantasy that would be of use to anyone in any RPG format. The most recent collection of those tales is available as "Fantastic Tales", edited by Dale Walker, with an introduction by Philip Jose' Farmer. My copy was printed in 1998 by Bison Books, and the ISBN is 0-8032-7979-5 if that helps anyone find it. Most recommended is The Red One for Lovecraftian horror that predates Lovecraft, A Relic of the Pliocene for some interesting time slippage, A Thousand Deaths for some science fictional horror and Goliah for a villain with a scheme and a method that would be right at home in Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
