Unlike later GURPS books, the original Wild West setting book has relatively little by way of rules, but is heavy on atmosphere, historical fact and fiction, and just cool details about the times. It's an excellent reference book even just for the history.<br /><br />Other than that, I binge watched a bunch of westerns, especially ones that have some supernatural element. And of course, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" especially ;) In fact, there are a few nods to the Clint Eastwood originals written in.Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518903647831371357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-81815641555751586432015-06-22T13:13:02.101+01:002015-06-22T13:13:02.101+01:00I think that they are broadly similar in theme.

Both are a good way to while away a rainy afternoon :)James O'Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293956084685099045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-30944076940691550712015-06-22T09:37:42.099+01:002015-06-22T09:37:42.099+01:00I might have even seen that.

And in addition to the fantastic "Bone Dogs", might I humbly suggest my own wild-west adventure, "Six-Gun Friday", available for free in issue 13 of Fighting Fantazine. It's more of a traditional tale (no zombies) but provides some good clean shoot-em-up fun. <br /><br />---Gaetano Abbondanza---- Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
